Does anyone know anything about the quality of this press? A clone or is it a decent machine in itself? Worth buying for the name alone!

Big, and reassuringly heavy. We did have one for a bit, as far as eastern made presses, they are better than the flimsy Chinese clam presses that are everywhere. They're not an Adkins/Insta/PressMech, but are better than 'cheap Chinese'

Reassuringly heavy? Try and get that up two flights of stairs! The controls box looks like my old Novachrome mug press which lasted about eight years. Looking at this or an Insta at double the cost.

Oh, I've carried the one we had around a few places, including stairs.
Instas are definitely better (and heavier) though
I'd still prefer a PressMech over an Insta though
