I have a Vevor 15x15 Seven in One Swing Away press. I love it. I think I got lucky with it. I have used the mug attachment, and it works well. The other attachments (hat, plate) are a pain, and I never used them. I've had my Vevor for about 4 years now. I feel like I had definitely gotten my money's worth after the first 2 years. I ended up getting a separate Swing Design Tumbler Press because I love doing mugs, but my Vevor attachment only wemt up to 12 oz. I can now go from a shot glass all the way up to 30 oz, including two late sizes. I got a cricut hat press, which is great. I'm in the market now for a 16x20 heat press. I want a second one in case the 1st one breaks, and I have a 13x19 sublimation printer. I absolutely love making gifts for family.
Thanks for sharing your story. Happy to hear things are going well for you. We have had great dtf heat press results with clamshell presses. Have you tried DTF stickers on your mugs?
What a professional review ! Thanks so much to this creator for such precisions, insights and tools he gave us here. I really enjoy this kind of engineer mentality and this technical meticulousness. I'm following this chanel right now !
Love watching the videos, I was interested in the 16*24 by Vevor, watching this answered my question on if the center was going to have a cold spot because of the way it is coiled.
That's a great question! The center is a bit of a challenge. Keep us in mind if you need a transfer provider. www.transfersuperstars.com/products/dtf-gangsheet-builder
Bought it a year ago, never used it yet, but.... I think you showed it will help me with big and large prints.... Mahalo for sharing... Appreciate you...
Great review. It looks like a great manual heat press, but the layout of the plate is awkward for a T-shirt as mentioned, but it would be good for something like a banner or maybe a bag or sweatpants if you are doing iron-on on those. I look forward to your other videos.
I bought two of these and within 8 months they started falling apart. Metal shavings all over the place as it just couldn't handle 50 shirts a day over time. It finally basically exploded during use and parts went everywhere. So that was 600 down the drain. Spent the 1600 and went to stahls.Quality means eveything.
Glad you were able to find a better solution., This was definitely a budget press and you were doing way more volume then it could handle it sounds like.
Thank you for these awesome reviews! Would you be able to do a review on the Yitahome multifunctional digital heat press? It's on Amazon and has no reviews yet
We did a review because the automatic function caught our attention but unfortunately it lacks pressure. You can watch the video here. ruclips.net/video/BBDere_0EOo/видео.html
There are a few out there but it really depends on your budget. A lot of the sub $300 models regulate somewhat in temperature. We do have a geoknight that is very consistent, you can find a video here for more info. ruclips.net/video/hP1Cn6HLw2o/видео.html
Nothing in that range sorry. This is the next closest but has all the bells and whistles. www.transfersuperstars.com/products/heatmaster-prisma-pro-auto-open-dtf-heat-press-machine-16x20
Just got one a month ago. The price is good for the press. Not a fan of the width being 20in. I wish the height was 20in and width 16in. Maybe it’s just my preference but hey, It’s getting my jobs done and that smell when you first turn it in did leave.
haha! same thoughts! It's such an awkward dimension. It would be 100x better if it was the other way around! But overall not a bad press for that price point.
Apparently Vevor products are hit 'n miss. I too found their 15x15 swing arm from Amazon very disappointing and returned it. Their auto-mug press is just fine and priced below Cricut. Thank you for all the effort testing these various products.
I think it just might have something to do with the physics of the swing away, it just requires premium parts and construction to work well, which low budget versions can’t handle. Clamshell presses have overall performed better than the swing away, at least for DTF Transfer applications, which require more pressure than many other applications.
How can you say a temperature difference of 50 degrees across the platen is not that bad? That's is horrible!! 330 degrees in one corner and 289 in another? That's totally unacceptable and garbage in my opinion!! Most quality heat presses vary maybe 5 to 8 degrees max. To say anything otherwise is misleading and biased.
Yes that much fluctuation and range is not good but if the platen hits our min 275f, then it works and we have wash tested. Most important is the min temp is hit and there is enough pressure. We recommend pressing our transfers between 275-325f. There are definitely better presses available but these are all budget friendly ones from Amazon. What you pay for is what you get. We use many expensive presses, these are entry level recommendations.

Yes the shape doesn't work great for t-shirts, which is what a bulk of our customer's decorate. Thanks again for viewing our videos.

Thank you for this review. I was looking at this heat press
Glad I could help
Could you test Iglobalbuy 16" X 24" Clamshell Heat Press Machine ?

I saw that review this is a different heat press from the same company
Do you know of any model that the temperature is uniform throughout the iron? Or is it variable in all of them?
There are a few out there but it really depends on your budget. A lot of the sub $300 models regulate somewhat in temperature. We do have a geoknight that is very consistent, you can find a video here for more info. ruclips.net/video/hP1Cn6HLw2o/видео.html
How far is the top plate from the bottom pads?
We no longer have the press so we were not able to get measurements for you. Sorry about htat
I’m looking for one that is around 500 dollars maybe 600 that’s the highest I can go any advice on great 600 dollar heat press jw

😆I guess I’m not the only one. Wrote this review before I got to yours at the end. That width is awkward.

Thanks for saving us from another machine

You’re welcome 😊

My man! Thank you for supporting our channel!
Are there any presses with the 20 inch deminsion in the other position that you recomend?
Not from Amazon. You may find a good vertical 16x20 on HPN. shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1137072&u=3937689&m=77504&urllink=&afftrack=
