I waited to upload this video until I used this heat press for about a month to make sure I still like it! I definitely do! :) I would consider this a budget friendly heat press for small crafty business owner. It's a few dollars more than the Cricut Easy Press but what you get out of it is worth it if you have a crafty business!
Do you have more videos on how to use this heat press? I just got mine yesterday & it’s my very first heat press ever! I’m so excited. But unsure on how to use that gorgeous machine! 😂
Great walk through. I was wondering if you could point me in the direction of a heat guide using the heat press specifically for HTV. The guide seems to only talk about sublimation
I've been trying to figure out figure out which heatpress to buy and I came across this. I LOVE PURPLE!!!!! It makes me so sad that Cricut never has anything in Purple.
So excited to hear your thoughts. I just got Amazon gift cards specifically for me to purchase a heat press like this. I have the Cricut easy press, but I can't press down as hard as I need to because of the arthritis I have. I have been eyeing the better sub 5 in 1 pink one.
Thank you for a great review! Can this machine be used to start just with HT Vinyl and then expand to Sublimation? i would love this in white or pink and cant locate it. Do you know where I may be able to find it? Many thanks!!!
Yes a video on bettersub that’s recent, I have seen a lot of Bettersub videos and they’re either months back or years 😂! I have the same heatpress in the purple and I love it, my mat however is like the one on your second heatpress.
You're crafty videos came up in my feed on Instagram and after being on your page I saw that you have a RUclips.... I love your videos I wish I could get this heat press.... Amazon says that it is unable to ship it to me because I live in Texas so I am still on the hunt for a budget-friendly heat press
Hi Ash!! If you used my link it may be because I’m in Canada so I use Amazon.ca If you search for the BetterSub heatpress on Amazon.com you should still be able to find lots of their presses! I don’t earn commission from the Amazon.com but I still recommend their presses! 🥰💜
On Amazon, the BetterSub 15x15 does not appear to have the black lower platen or the pad with corners that slip down onto the platen. Is yours a model that hasn't been publicly released yet?
Do you have a butcher block counter on top of cabinets? If so how did you attach the top to the cabinets? I’m trying to find a better setup for my craft room.
Hey there Hailey, fellow Canadian here representing Milton, Ontario 🇨🇦. This vid was really insightful for a newb like myself. My wife actually just got me a Cricut machine for my birthday as I'm the creative guy (Graphic Designer by day) in the house. 😂 Any thoughts on whether you would buy one of these machines on Amazon in the "Used" category? Or just avoid it all together? Attempting to get some swag done for our son's upcoming birthday party next weekend so anywhere that I can save a buck or two at this point would help. Also, do you have any brand recommendations for the type of HTV to use in these machines as well? Hoping these machines come in candy apple red for future. 😁
Hi Pete! You're only a couple hours from me! I'm glad you found this video helpful! I'm all about saving a few bucks where possible too. I would say something like these heat presses would be the exception to that though. I would recommend sticking with new just because I've read that the used ones can have cosmetic damages and/or package damages. I'd hate for you to receive a dud. At least you know that you can return it if there's issues when you buy it new, direct from the BetterSub seller on Amazon rather than a third party. I would also recommend HTV called Siser Easyweed. You can buy it as Michales but it's definitely more expensive than buying from other places. RQC Supply in Woodstock has great prices and they ship fairly quickly, or you can road trip down and typically pick up same day. I'm working on getting a coupon code for everyone to save from there since I shop there all the time, but I don't have one just yet! Hopefully soon :) I hope this helps!
@@TheFoiledPlan Awesome sauce! Thanks for your input. My head says buy new and my wallet says buy used. Based on your knowledge on the subject, I'm going with my head on this one for peace of mind. Will check out RQC and Michaels when I get a chance later today or tomorrow. Thanks again for dropping some knowledge on us.
Yay for Canadians. Scarborough girl here but I love coming to Milton to visit Chudleighs. Lol. Thanks for asking this question, because I've been trying to decide between buying a used or new press.
@@TheFoiledPlan Thank you so much for providing this information. I normally go to Michael's, but they can be so pricey at times. I will definitely check out the company you mentioned. Also, great video!!!
I'm also in Canada and recently found your channel thanks to Auntie Tay! I bought the 7 in 1 Better Sub Heat Press just in the last week. It is a bit smaller but I love it. What is the paint color of your room? I think my room is a similar color. Thanks for you videos. .
@@TheFoiledPlan The color I went with is Violet Petal from Benjamin Moore.. Our room colors are so similar. I've really enjoyed your videos so far. I'm a crafter from Barrie, On.
I have the same but slide out version, but the long bolt is banging on the handle when I close it, I noticed yours doesn’t do that might have to try and move it down a few
Hi I first want to say I love your videas...I ordered this same press after watching this video BUT mine did not come with the same bottom mat as yours..mine is just a regular at??? any idea why?
Hi just watched your video & was curious on how you get a company to send you a heat press or tumbler press on them? I have seen a lot of people mentioning that in their videos. TIA
@@zab82a I bought this press and I use it for HTV and I've done lots of hoodies. I use the same time and temperature for all shirts (t-shirts/crewnecks/hoodies). 305º for 15 seconds with a heat resistant sheet. After the time is up I remove the carrier sheet and put the heat resistant sheet back and then do another 15 seconds. It works well. I'm using Gildan shirts and Siser vinyl. The thing I don't like about this press is that the bottom plate doesn't slide out so when I'm putting the shirt in the press to get ready I have to be close to the lid that's hot (I use oven mitts when it's a hoodie because it's more bulky). I like the presses where the bottom plate slides out. But the press itself has been really good, no issues with it. I hope this helps!
I just got this machine and it did not pop open like yours it wont even open up is there something more that you have to do besides cutting off the zip tie when you first get it? Any help would be so greatly appreciated
Awww thank you!! I've missed this!! I just got back from a business trip to Orlando! I met up with other crafters and we did some filming at Disney and went to Creativation 2022! I can't wait to share about all the brands that I met with and their new craft products! Lots of fun things coming your way soon! :) 💜💜💜
I took out some old HDD magnets and that's what i plan to use on my heatpress... xD but i didn't put it up yet as i am just starting out with shirts. xD
When you say the heat press doesn’t beep or let you know it’s at the right temperature, how then do you know it’s reached the temperature you set it to?? Love the purple but have hesitated buying a press because there are so many reviews that scare me away!!
Hi Susann!! The spot where you set the temperature has a little screen for time and a little screen for temperature so you just look at those and you’ll see the numbers climb until it’s reached the desired temperature, then it will stay there. So just periodically check the screens 🥰💜
@@TheFoiledPlan thanks so much for the explanation. It's like my oven..lol although it does chirp when it reaches it's temp, it also shows it...I was waiting for your response, then I'm getting it. I did one shirt with my iron, and most of it was fine, but I don't have the strength to give it that firm press....and this one is reasonably priced! Thank you so much..you are a joy to watch and giggle with....
Hi there. I’m ur Manuel does it have customer care number or email u can share with me? I purchased a used bettersub off someone which was the first mistake but she told me the Manuel is in the box which it’s not and I have no idea where to start
Sorry i can't just leave without this. i saw you struggle with the weight of the heat press so i checked that on average, men are 40% stronger than women.. For a moment, this made me appreciate being a male. 🙈 That means it would be the same if i lifted about 65 pounds or 28kg...

Great tutorial. fellow Canadian

Great review. Not actually ready for a Heat Press yet, but this is definitely going on the list for the future.
It’s definitely a great option once you get to the point of needing to upgrade to a heat press!! :)
Everything Beth said. 😊
I really enjoyed your review ! I have been looking at heat presses. So this was a perfect video.
Not me looking at videos of the bettersub purple heat press because Purple is my favorite color 💜🥰
I've been trying to figure out figure out which heatpress to buy and I came across this. I LOVE PURPLE!!!!! It makes me so sad that Cricut never has anything in Purple.
I just bought this one! The manual says not to use it over 380?!
Can you please give us an update on this after continued use? How's it holding up? How are you liking it?

My replacement fuse was in a bag inside the box.

Can this press be used for sweatshirts also? Is it just that you’d need to press it for a bit longer?
Im wondering about this too, has anyone tried hoodies??
@@zab82a I bought this press and I use it for HTV and I've done lots of hoodies.

How does the bar setting work on this press? Instructions for my project says 1-2 bars……but I have no idea how to determine the bar setting.
Hey can i buy the old heat press machine that you don’t use anymore.?
I just got this machine and it did not pop open like yours it wont even open up is there something more that you have to do besides cutting off the zip tie when you first get it? Any help would be so greatly appreciated
Do we know if their other color units come with these upgraded mats?
Hello: what size was your pervious press?
Just unboxed mine and i cant get the clamp to open😮 whats going on ??

Mines making a hissing noise any reason why it's doing that?

Thanks for the info!
Love the purple!!
Right!?? It’s so pretty!! 💜💜💜
Most purples are light, so the dark makes it pop and look amazing!!

When I look this up it's coming up as over $550.
Hi there. I’m ur Manuel does it have customer care number or email u can share with me? I purchased a used bettersub off someone which was the first mistake but she told me the Manuel is in the box which it’s not and I have no idea where to start
Do they come in green?
I believe they have new colours coming soon, I’m not sure if green is one of them but I’ll keep everyone updated on Instagram as I see them released!
@@TheFoiledPlan awww thank you so much x
@@teinelalelei8320 of course!!! 💜💜💜
@@TheFoiledPlan ❤️❤️❤️
Yes green is released now
Does it come in a 16 x 20 ?
Hi Jacki! They may add new sizes in the future but for now this one is just in the 15x15 size 😁
Why would do a small task please pick difficult sublimation when doing honest reviews......can't trust this review
Can you send me the old one 🤪
Sorry. “In”
Sorry i can't just leave without this. i saw you struggle with the weight of the heat press so i checked that on average, men are 40% stronger than women.. For a moment, this made me appreciate being a male. 🙈 That means it would be the same if i lifted about 65 pounds or 28kg...
That was damn dangerous had you of been leaning over any further!
LOL you’re not wrong 😂 lesson learned!
Talk too much...
