Heat Press Machine, 5T Manual Hydraulic Jack Heat Press Machine 600W Dual Heated Platens 2.3X4.7 Inch Heat Press Plates with Intelligent LCD Screen and Precise Pressure Gauge 220V

I have some tshirts and transfer paper so that I could attempt to create my own shirts with this press. I set the temperature to cotton and I waited for the plates to reach the correct heat. I positioned my design onto the first shirt and I had no issue closing the press with the hydraulic jack. The pressure gauge helped to ensure that I was applying the correct amount of pressure and I felt safe with the process. When the timer reached zero, I opened the press and I carefully peeled away the transfer paper. The design transferred well to the shirt and the colors were vibrant. I proceeded to press designs on a number of other shirts and all of them turned out. The steady heat and pressure ensure the process is consistent and I am happy with the results I get while using it.

This thing works great. I use it to press rosin.

Broke after less than 30 presses

Don't get me wrong this is super heavy duty and very well made with tons of weight to it. Just from looking at it I thought that this would easily last for years to come. After actually getting into it and figuring out how it works and functions there is definitely some room for improvement with all of the functionalities and the mechanics of it. When I press mine it does seem a little bit flimsy and like it might give out quicker than I would have ever anticipated especially for this price point. Some of the inside stuff does not look very well put together to me, and I feel like it could get much hotter much faster and if it wasn't so flimsy it could do a firm press and not take a chance of slipping or Messing anything up. I did one thing with this so far and luckily it did come out nice but I just don't know how many I could do without worrying about this giving out or messing up the product. Overall the instruction manual is nice and easy to read, all the directions and buttons are well labeled and it's pretty simple to use if you have ever used one before. I would just love to see them really bulk this up especially for the price point. Help the functionality to be stronger and more high quality and they would have a five-star product for sure. So far so good I still have it and it's working so I am not completely unhappy and it's not broken or anything but only time will tell! So far it's still a solid 6 out of 10 in my opinion.

The media could not be loaded. Where do I start? First, with the good because there are unfortunately very few.The build quality of this is seemingly great. I haven't had any issues with parts or anything bending or breaking. It's EXTREMELY heavy, seemingly made out of iron. It heats up fast and is fairly easy to use.Unfortunately, that's about it. The shape of this thing is oddly skinny and fairly tall so it has a tipping issue, I pulled on the handle and it nearly tipped it over. Obviously and issue with something so heavy and potentially dangerous. It has suction cups on the bottom but that's really only good for tables in which suction cups will actually work. There are almost ZERO (helpful) instructions so you kind of have to figure it out for yourself.Next, the actual heat platform is SO tiny. This is a monstrous machine with 5 tons of hydraulic pressure but a 2"x4" platform for heating. The images show shirts and other things (the instructions say FOOD...what?) but unless you are doing just the breast pocket area of a shirt, this won't work. The handle also feels a bit cheap and the badly cut metal rod just comes out of the handle. Out of the box, the sides of the handle just pop off when lifting it. Not the greatest sign even if it doesn't effect the function of the product itself.

I have several heat press machines but wanted something exclusively for smaller items. This fit the bill perfectly. Took a little trial and error on my part, but once I figured it out I was off to the races. It is rather heavy, so make sure you have a good sturdy table to use this on.

This 5-ton manual hydraulic heat press is a powerhouse for those needing precision and efficiency in their pressing work. Right out of the box, it feels sturdy and well-constructed, with a solid 20kg frame that gives a sense of durability. The compact size makes it great for small studios, labs, or personal use, without sacrificing performance.The 600W dual heated platens ensure even and fast heating, while the intelligent LCD screen makes temperature and time control easy to manage. The digital display is clear, and the waterproof keys add a layer of durability. One standout feature is the precise pressure gauge, which allows for accurate adjustments, ensuring optimal results for different materials.It’s versatile enough to handle pressing oil, textiles, sublimation printing, and other creative applications, making it a valuable tool for professionals and hobbyists alike. The only downside is that it runs on 220V, so make sure you have the appropriate power setup. Otherwise, this is a solid, reliable heat press machine that delivers excellent results with precise control.
