I started with the Cricut Easy Press also. I bought the HTVRONT auto press about a year ago. I love everything about it. I added an extra heat mat for better pressure and it works great. I do all types of sublimation and my blanks sub vibrant. I’d recommend this to everyone.
I stared out with the Cricut Easy Press 9x9 in 2018 and I haven’t had a problem with it. I upgraded to the Cricut Auto Heat Press, 15x12. Had it for about a year and a half and I have not had any problems with it. I passed the easy press to my son and no complaints yet. Thank you for your honest review because I was thinking of purchasing one for him.
I would love to try the cricut auto press it’s just so out of my price range at the moment! I’m glad you had great experiences with it though! I will definitely get it one day 🤞🏼
I've had mine a few months, and it sublimates great, but I've only been doing material. I watched tons of videos before buying and saw several complaining about the pressure, especially with wood or ceramic. I'd guess that you needed something solid to elevate the platen and to eliminate the give, not squishy. There were enough complaints that they just released a newer model that allows for pressure adjustment. Good to know about the Teflon. I've only used parchment paper, so I'll be sure to toss the Teflon.
HeY Samantha - I looked at several videos also. It's my understanding the HTVRont Auto Heat Press 2 has "pressure options" built in. I believe it starts at 50 lbs and goes up to 170 lbs of pressure. Please take another look at it. I hope this helps...
I feel your pain. I bought the same one over a year ago and after two presses, the machine started beeping and the timer wouldn't count down. I tried contacting the company via email and never received a response. I saw one other review by an individual that stated he had a problem with the same heat press, tried to contact the company, and received no response. Fortunately, I was able to return mine for a full refund. I've purchased two of the HPN CraftPro 15" x 15" Crafting Transfer Machine from Heat Press Nation. The machines are great and their customer service is excellent. I hope this helps.
great to know thank you so much! Also, i keep hearing HTVront has less that great customer service, so disappointing since theyre such a big company in our space!
Completely agree! Glad yours works :) they announced they made a new machine that you can control the pressure now so hopefully no one has the same problem I did
I bought the new HTV Ront manual heat press, the control pad does not beep when it is finished or when it comes to temperature. They won’t answer my request for warranty. I will never buy from HTV RONT again. The manual press is same way, everything sticks to the heat plates
I hated that it got stuck to the heat plate and I honestly had a difficult time with customer support too! Super disappointing because I love some of their products
I just bought this heat press 2 days ago after doing weeks of research and like you, didn't find any negative reviews anywhere. I haven't used it yet, but am looking forward to very soon. I'm thinking you possibly just got a bad unit. I don't know if you reached out to the manufacturer to verify or not, but it is possible.
I hope it works better for you! I did talk to them and it wasn’t an issue with my unit unfortunately. Just not the right product for me. 🤞🏼 yours works for you

THANK YOU. This was in my top three on my purchase list for heat presses. This kind of thing is SO IMPORTANT.

Now they have improved it! HTVRONT 2 as of Nov 2, 2024 😃
Thanks for your honesty that's 1 and a million now a days.
I appreciate that! Thank you for watching!
I wish I would have seen this before I purchased mine and before the new one came out! :(
Oh no is it too late to return?

I’m so glad it works for you! The additional mat I added is very firm, I had the same thought, guess it just wasn’t meant to be for me 😂

Yes! I’ve been hearing that they made a new one, that’s so awesome I’m glad they’re giving people the options they want :)

I have the HTVRont and no problems. I love mine.
That’s great!
I've had mine for over a year and it's been flawless. Sorry that you've had problems but any company has lemons
