This was my 1st heat press purchase and it has been great. I've pressed fabrics and ceramics in various forms using it with good results.It is easy to use, however take note that temperature settings are in Fahrenheit, so you may want to keep a conversion list handy.It has simple adjustable pressure. I have found the heat to be accurate and evenly distributed across the plate - no cold spots.I had an issue that the seller went out of their way to assist me with, making the customer service very impressive.Bare in mind that this is a unknown brand Chinese press. It does not have a model number. This is completely fine until you wish to purchase a replacement or additional mug element etc. I tried 3 and none were compatible.
