VEVOR Tumbler Heat Press, 30oz Mug Heat Press Machine, Sublimation Transfer 11-15oz 16-25oz 30oz Straight Skinny Tumblers, with Heat-Resist Gloves and Tape, for DIY Ceramic Mugs Cups Glasses

This was a perfect for me as a beginner.

This is a good heavy duty heat press. The heat level seems to work effectively. It is a nice size for shirts and very good quality. For a five and one I thought it was a good value however the accessories look to be intimidating to put together especially the mug press so I have not used it yet. The shirt price only took about five minutes to go from back to use! The pressure is sufficient however you may need to mess around with it as I did ruin one shirt because I had too much pressure on it.

Works as it’s supposed to. At a cheaper price than the cricut brand.

The media could not be loaded. I hate this machine. I’ve been doing this for the past 6 months & I do HUGE ORDERS. I’m talking 550 shirts, 180, 220, a ton!I’m the type of person that will “make it work” but this heat press has been nothing but a nightmare.My Vevor heat press pro (8-in-1) stopped clamping so I had the warranty company send me a refund. I decided to try a different one since I can’t buy JUST the heat press pro. I’d have to purchase a whole different 8-in-1 set & it seemed unnecessary. I regret it very much now. I absolutely LOVED everything about my pro.I thought this one would be great based on reviews and the fact that it has a swing arm & a pull out drawer. Boy was I wrong.First off - I’ve gotten burned SO MANY TIMES. I’ve even worn heat gloves and I’ve managed to get burned multiple times. No matter how careful you are, you’re probably going to get burned.Second - you’d think “oh neat, I get a pretty colored one!!” No. Absolutely cannot stand that this is PAINTED!! I have paint chips falling off every. Single. Time. I. Rotate. The. Arm.Meaning more work for me. I have orders of 180+ & this makes more work for me. Literally every time I swing the arm, more paint chips off. It is annoying.Third - the swing arm is difficult to swing (compared to my pro) & I can’t even touch the edges of the press (like I can on my pro since it’s covered in a hard plastic) so of course, yet again; I get burned. This I can deal with mostly but it’s an inconvenience I was not prepared for.Fourth - the weight of the press… if you do not have anything on the base where the shirts go, this thing will topple over QUICK so beware!Fifth - the smell!!! I noticed that the heating element is different from my pro and as soon as I pressed a shirt I noticed a nasty smell. I don’t understand what it could be, other than the heating element but just another inconvenience.Sixth - it arrived with dents in the base. HOW!?Do yourself a favor. Buy the 8-in-1 PRO even if you don’t need the accessories (I’ve used the mug one once.) it’s worth it since you can’t purchase the heat press on its own.I cannot wait until I am done with my current order to return this stupid thing & buy a new Pro.0/10 I hate this thing!!!!

Easy to assemble and works as it should.

Ok, don’t be alarmed but it does smell when you turn it on. It’s a very strange smell that comes off it. It’s getting less and less the more I use it, so don’t be worried you’re burning the house down.Sublimates tumblers well. The skinny tumblers are the tightest but it still works.The timer and heat settings are wonderful so there’s no guesswork.I only wished the timer stated automatically when the press gets closed.

I like the controls being on the front of the tumbler press body not sticking out from the side. Other presses have the control module to one side and that seems like a potential for breaking off or getting damaged.I don’t store press on a bench and like being able to put it away and not worrying about control module being damaged.The dial takes a little getting used to, I have it on a Vevor portable press as well. The press works well, my complaint is it smells a lot and don’t know if that is all Vevor products, but that has been the issue with all of their products I’ve used so far. I own 4 different types of heat presses from them.I’ve even tried running many cycles with the automatic mug press I have, hoping the smell would burn off with use. Nope, still stinks but works well.I purchased this since I had trouble getting tall tumblers to sublimate properly in my mug press. I had issues with mid section over or under sublimating and wanted to try a taller/longer press.I think this press may be more useful in ways other than just length, with the ability to adjust pressure and stick items outside of end of the press. By placing the rolled rims of camping style mugs outside of press and the ability to press the two sections of 30 and 40 oz tumblers separately, I haven’t tried this yet but it looks doable. Even accommodating tapered cups with the adjustment knobs.So far I have only done tall skinny slightly tapered tumblers and straight mugs and they have worked out well.For the price I will just prep the sublimation projects inside and use the tumbler press outside or on covered porch in the rain.I Would recommend for the value and ability to adjust size. I just wish their products wouldn’t stink and it’s not the sublimating fumes, the press stunk in the box upon opening and worse while using. I don’t know if it’s the electronics, heating elements or rubber padding, I do think the heating element red padding must add to the smell.

I was a bit confused with the dial but I ultimately figured it out. My mugs are coming out really great ! It's a decent size, and quite inexpensive compared to in-store machines over here. Everything has been working great with it so far!
