Opinions on this heat press PLEASE

[emt]

Hi, I’m thinking of getting this heat press but I have no idea if it’s any good or not? Can I please have opinions?

It all depends on what you want to do and how much you want to do.

Will it work... yes probably

Will it last... I doubt it

Will I want bigger and better within a month or so... almost certainly


If you just want to do a couple of things a week then this will be adequate, if however you are looking to being a bit more "serious" then I would look for a better quality machine at around £500+

Thanks for replying, decided to go for it in the end. Spoke to someone from there and he said he believes these were made by Adkins for a company that went into liquidation a while ago?

Looks like a cheap generic Chinese press, nothing like an Adkins

Oh brilliant!
is there any way of identifying it, any tell take signs? It’s due to be delivered tomorrow.
must admit I searched to try and compare it to others and it looks very similar to a lot of the 5 in 1’s etc but without all the extras?
i was told he “believed” it to be the version down from this

Adkins do have machines made in China to their specification and they are indeed sold bt The Transfer Press. I have a mug press from there and (so far) it has been great.

Thanks that’s good to hear ����
It’s just arrived, says on box Made in China and also that’s its a 6 in 1 but then on a separate sticker says press only. I thought it looked like the multi press ones.
Theres also a sticker on the box that says Cadet Swing?

search AliBaba for Cadet swing heat press would be your starting point I guess
