Best review I've seen on this machine and I've watch all the ones that have come out on this very new machine and most of the videos reviewing the first one too. This video was to the point, addressed all the things I was wondering about, great visuals of all the things discussed. straight forward views, thank you.. amazing video. great content
Thanks so very much for that! I'm so glad you liked it. I really do try to make my videos straight to the point and answer what you want, just as I would want. I appreciate you taking the time to let me know. Do you have either of the machines?
@TheCraftyBrick well you done an awesome job. No, I've only used their htv and sublimation paper which are great. I have the uk version of the transworld plus heat press. it's a 16 x 20 auto press. Over here in the UK, it's called the galaxy auto press its amazing has so many features but ugly 😂. Cost me £800 a couple of years ago 🫣 (i'm never paying that much for a press again). I can't lie, I love the look of the htvront auto press and i purchased the first version when it first came out for my cousin who has an etsy shop last year and she loves it. I defo want to purchase one for myself once they've made the improvements I mentioned as it would look much nicer in my craft room 😂 and the prices are great. I really think HTVront is a great company, they listen to their users more than cricut do 🙄. I hope they make a DTF printer too 🤞
DTF would be very cool. I TOTALLY get the appeal of a machine looking good in your craft room. It may sound silly to some but if you look at it every day I think it should look nice. Your press sounds like a great work horse, which is always nice to have. I like HTVRont as well.
HELLO, MY HTVRONT AUTO PRESS 2 COMING SATURDAY. IM SO EXCITED. MY CHRISTMAS PRESENT FROM HUBBY. THIS WHAT I WANTED. I ALREADY have THE AUTO PRESS 1. ONE FOR MY CRAFTING ROOM AND THE OTHER ONE FOR MY BEDROOM. YESSSSSS!!
Hello Courtney 👋🏽. You did an Awesome Job on comparing and demonstrating the two HTVRONT Auto Heat Press Machines. They fixed some of my concerns that I had with the Auto Press 1, but not all. I feel that they should have allowed more clearance to maybe 2 to 3 inches of clearance, replace the pad with a better one like a silicone pad (I think that's what they're called), and lastly in the future, possibly make a larger Auto Heat Press such as a 16x20" with all of the upgrades of the Auto 2 along with the additional suugested upgrades. In other words, make an upgraded one in a 15x15" and 16x20" in the very near future. This would definitely be an even more Great Game Changer. HTVRONT did partly listen to us as Crafters, but not entirely. Great Job and Video. ❤😊❤
I totally agree with you! The larger clearance would be even better. I am happy they listened though that’s a good step in the right direction. It really is MUCH easier to use though even with that small change. I also like the larger option of the 16x20. I’m glad you liked the video 😁
Hello Courtney 👋🏽. Yes, I totally agree with you as well. I'm glad you like the larger press option idea💡 as well. I commend HTVRONT for listening to us as crafters and for making the adjustments that they've made. I really like the improvements that they have made thus far. Is there room for more improvements? Of course there is, and always will be. I just don't like the fact that they're making the adjustments in smaller increments. But I know why they're doing it, and it's because it's a marketing strategy. They have already addressed our concerns and are or have already came up with the Auto 3 Heat Press 15x15 Machine, and just have not released it yet. That's how they're making even more money. In any event, I like it. Will I purchase one right now, probably not. I haven't even had my first long yet. I Love and enjoy watching 👀 your videos. Again, Great Job and Video. ❤😊❤
I fully agree with you. I love the updates they made and the fact that they actually listen to their customers but I won't replace my existing press with one of these until....they add more clearance at the back, more clearance between plates, preferably a threadable lower plate and most importantly a 16"x20" size. When they make does changes, I'll definetely be purchasing one for me and a couple extras as gifts for other crafters ls in my family as I honestly think at that point it will be the most attractive, functional, heat press on the market!
Same here! I don't have either one and wondered about the difference in prices. Makes sense! I'm going for the Auto Press 2 after watching. Thank you SO MUCH! 🎉@@TheCraftyBrick
You have a new subscriber! This is the BEST comparison I've seen!🔥🔥🔥 You were so thorough & detailed. Having them side by side was the perfect!!😊 I have the original HTVRONT Autopress & absolutely love it but now you're video has made me want to upgrade!!!🤣🤣
Thanks so much for your comment. I’m so happy you liked the video and welcome to the Crafty Crew! I totally feel you. I loved my old press because it’s a great machine BUT….the new one?!🥰. We always want an upgrade, lol🤪
I switched from the Daisy White to the pretty purple auto press 2. It should ship out on the 14! I’m so excited about receiving my very first auto press! Thank you for sharing this very valuable detailed video review. I couldn’t see myself purchasing the first auto press because of the reasons that you and many others have mentioned. Again, thanks! ☺️
You should have see me when you said that the time is unlimited ish. I have to press my sublimation hard board for 70s 3 times!! And I do apx 5 sets of presses everyday. Having to keep track of what press I'm on is a nightmare!
Thank you for this comparison review. I was very interested in seeing the puff vinyl demo. I tried puff on the 1st heat press and it dis not work properly. I'm glad to see that the metallic puff worked. Have you tried non metallic puff vinyl on the new one? Thank you again for the great compassion demo.
Hi, thanks for your review and especially the part of the puff vinyl, I really wanted to know if that would come out better than with the first press. I want to buy my first press and wanted to know if this press can be compared to the new Loklik auto press 2? because that's the one that will be available in my country. And when you press a zippered pouch, I suppose you do place the zipper outside, can that be done easily with this press? Thanks in advance! Greetings from Holland
Hi there, thanks so much for watching. Well Loklik is a sister company of HTVRont so I would think the machines are very similar if not identical. Although I haven’t seen the Loklik in person yet. As for the zipper yes I would have it outside of the press or you could use a pressing pillow inside the pouch as well and that would work too.
Hi, from Australia. I've just found you on utube for the 1st time and just watched your comparison of autopress 1 & 2. Love the new features of the extra pressure, time and space of the 2 but I will be sticking with my autopress 1 until I need a new one. You mentioned the extra pad for more pressure, could you please tell me what pad you recommend and where to purchase it as there are quite a few out there? Thank you, I have subscribed to your channel as I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Hey there! I'm so glad you found my channel and thanks so much for subscribing! The one I use is actually very old passed down from my mom but this one is the same amzn.to/3AgE7YF. I love how thick and firm it is and it has brought me a lot of success with projects that need more pressure. I think you can't go wrong with sticking with your 1st press. It's a very good one.
No I don’t, sorry. I believe the LikLok is the comparable one that’s available in Europe. I haven’t tried it yet but it’s from the sister company of HtVRont
Hey there, if you are just doing T-shirts and the low clearance doesn’t bother you then I really don’t see why you would need to upgrade. I think the upgrade is really good if you like to do sweatshirts which are thicker and you need a little bit more clearance or if you’re doing sublimation projects that need a longer time than the 99 seconds. Aside from that I think the first press is great and I don’t really see why you would need a new one if it’s working fine for you.
Yeah I really love the new one and I have set the old one aside. It will be on sale now though so some people might like that option. It’s still a very good press.
Hey there, thanks for watching. I have just been testing out pressure settings. Most things I've done seem to work at the lowest setting although I used the hightest setting for puff HTV. On this page I found there are recommended settings from the company. shrsl.com/4r18d
So sorry, I’m so sad it’s not working. I reached out to HTVRont but it’s nighttime there and I’m waiting for them to fix it. It’s def not expired though.
Oh that’s interesting. I don’t remember mine making noise and TBH, it never bothered me nor was it anything I noticed. It just popped out to me when I got the new one. How old is yours? I wonder if the age of mine has something to do with it.
lol, that’s funny. I think it was because of some sublimation projects. 8 didn’t want it going down before I pressed it and I just never used it anymore
Thank you so much for your comparison! I’m in the process of starting my own t- shirt business and your review has been so helpful! Blessings to you!
Thanks so much for watching. I’m so happy you found it helpful. Good luck with your business. That’s so exciting!!
@ Thank you!
Thanks for the review. Love a company that listens to its customers and then fixes the issues
Yes it is so nice. One of the reasons I love them and Siser so much. They both are very good at this 😁

Yeah if they had not given it to me I don’t know if I would need a new one either because the first one is great.
@@Cee_Cee8very good points. More clearance would be a great selling point and I agreed that with a couple more updates this could def be a main press.
Just gained a new subscriber! Looking for a new press. Thanks for the great review!

Wow being able to control pressure with a autopress is amazing. 🤩
Yeah it’s pretty nice😁
I ordered the new one for myself for Christmas, unfortunately it won’t be here till after Christmas, but am excited to get it and use it.
Oh I think you’re gonna love it. What a fun Christmas present 😁. Merry Christmas!

Oh man! If you have to press 3x do you have an issue with ghosting? Which press do you have 1 or 2?

Love love love... great comparison 😍
Right! It’s pretty cool! I’m so glad you liked it😁
Yes I will try again today. Thanks
Sounds good 😁
No problem. Thank you 😊
You’re welcome!
Hi Courtney, thanks for the great review. QQ: When you have the “auto” feature off, when the press time is over, does it still auto-open?
Hey there! Yes it will still auto open just doesn’t close immediately when you push it back in. Only will close when you press the button.
I don’t need another press, however, you make me want one🤣
I knooowwww😩It’s very tempting
Do you know when it will be come to Europe?
No I don’t, sorry. I believe the LikLok is the comparable one that’s available in Europe. I haven’t tried it yet but it’s from the sister company of HtVRont
Do you think it's worth getting the upgrade if money is tight for I run a tee shirt business
Hey there, if you are just doing T-shirts and the low clearance doesn’t bother you then I really don’t see why you would need to upgrade. I think the upgrade is really good if you like to do sweatshirts which are thicker and you need a little bit more clearance or if you’re doing sublimation projects that need a longer time than the 99 seconds. Aside from that I think the first press is great and I don’t really see why you would need a new one if it’s working fine for you.
Does the heavy press leave press lines though?
I didn’t use the heavy pressure for shirts so no it didn’t leave press lines. I even used the lighter pressure for DTF transfers
My issue with the 1 is that, I wasn't getting even pressure, especially in the middle when doing sublimation.
I added a second firm pressing pillow and didn’t have issues with uneven pressure.
Hi you think this can do slate?
@@iAmSelectaSupa hmmm I’m not sure I know the pressure hasn’t be very high for slate. I will try it though!
Good video thanks I like the new one better
Yeah I really love the new one and I have set the old one aside. It will be on sale now though so some people might like that option. It’s still a very good press.
I like all the improvements they made on the second one. The only thing you didn’t say was the price.😎
Oh shoot, sorry about that. It’s $349 but $289 if you use my discount code Kraft60
Love it!
It’s amazing!
I am so frustrated. I was waiting for it and couting the days to realise it'not yet available in Canada. 😪 Can't wait.
Oh man that’s annoying. I hope it gets released there soon.
Europe same 😭
@@minki6458 It is released in Canada now and I've received it and love it. Check in England I think they have it. :)
thank you
you're welcome!
Thank you for this review! How do you know what pressure to use on what?
Hey there, thanks for watching. I have just been testing out pressure settings. Most things I've done seem to work at the lowest setting although I used the hightest setting for puff HTV. On this page I found there are recommended settings from the company. shrsl.com/4r18d
How is it on sublimation!
I’ll have to try it out. I’m sure it’s great because my old one was perfect for sublimation
Hello, I’m trying to order using your code, but the site is not accepting it.
Shoot let me check it again. Hold one moment…
Ok I just checked and it is active. It only works for the new press. Were you trying to purchase that one?
Ok I tried it as well and it’s not working for me either. I just emailed them to check it out. I’ll get back to you in just a minute. Thanks!
ok they got the code working. It's Kraft60 to save $60. Sorry for the delay.
Your code is not working. Has it expired?
So sorry, I’m so sad it’s not working. I reached out to HTVRont but it’s nighttime there and I’m waiting for them to fix it. It’s def not expired though.
ok they got the code working. It's Kraft60 to save $60. Sorry for the delay.
Is it still 15x15?
Yes it is
My auto press doesn’t make any noise 🙀
Oh that’s interesting. I don’t remember mine making noise and TBH, it never bothered me nor was it anything I noticed. It just popped out to me when I got the new one. How old is yours? I wonder if the age of mine has something to do with it.
We are the opposite I live with my A auto on 😂😂😂 I am so lazy 😹😹
lol, that’s funny. I think it was because of some sublimation projects. 8 didn’t want it going down before I pressed it and I just never used it anymore
