⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Emily Tran - Home Hobbyist
"I bought the Base Model for my home crafting business in February 2025, and it’s been a game-changer. The manual lever pressure system is surprisingly easy to control, and I’ve made over 50 custom t-shirts for friends and local orders. Prints come out crisp every time on polyester blends. Heats up in under 5 minutes—perfect for quick batches. Super compact and fits neatly in my craft corner."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Javier Morales - Pop-Up Retail Vendor
"I use the Advanced Model at weekend craft fairs and pop-up shops, and its semi-automatic setup saves me so much time. I purchased it in October 2024, and after 8 months of near-weekly use, it’s still performing flawlessly. The 14" x 14" plate gives me more design space than my old press, and the adjustable dial makes it easy to switch between t-shirts and tote bags. CE certification gave me peace of mind when operating in public spaces."Purchase Date: October 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Naomi Patel - Custom T-Shirt Studio
"I run a small custom apparel shop and upgraded to the Pro Model in January 2025. The digital sensor-based pressure control and ±1°C accuracy are incredible—no more uneven transfers. I can now handle bulk orders with consistent quality. It’s a bit pricier, but the 40% productivity boost is real. Only downside: it’s less portable than I expected, though still manageable with the foldable frame."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Diego Hernandez - On-Demand Printing at Cafés
"As someone who does live sublimation printing at local cafés and events, portability is key. The 15kg lightweight design of the Base Model makes it easy to carry in my van. I’ve used it for 4 months (purchased December 2024) and love how quickly it heats up. I mainly print on polyester mugs and shirts, and the combo flatbed and heat press plates handle both beautifully. Cleaning is a breeze with just a damp cloth."Purchase Date: December 2024 | Usage Period: 4 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Linda Wu - DIY Workshop Facilitator
"I purchased two units (Base and Advanced) in April 2025 for my craft workshops. Students find the manual operation intuitive, and the clear temperature range guidance helps avoid mistakes. We’ve used them on cotton blends with lower heat settings and got decent results, though polyester definitely performs better. Great for teaching sublimation basics. Slight learning curve for pressure consistency, but overall very satisfied."Purchase Date: April 2025 | Usage Period: 3 months
