HTVRONT Auto Heat Press Machine 15x15 for T Shirts - Professional Heat Transfer Machine with Auto-Release - Fast & Even Heating for HTV, Sublimation Projects, Light Blue

The HTVRONT Auto Heat Press Machine is fantastic! It heats up quickly and maintains even heat across the entire 15x15 surface, making T-shirt and HTV projects a breeze. The auto-release feature is a game-changer, preventing any accidental burns or smudges. Build quality feels solid and professional, and it works perfectly for sublimation and other heat transfer projects. Perfect for hobbyists or small business use—highly recommend!

This heat press is awesome! I love the pullout tray. I like that you can hit any button to lift it back up, so when I’m prewarming the shirt, I don’t have to keep adjusting the times. I’ve pressed about 30 shirts so far and they all came out great. A lot quieter than my manual press was and it’s so much nicer looking with my room decor.

What a great value for the price, super easy function, live the color very vibrant, heat level is as expected, tempature co trolls was varied but work well.

Amazing machine! So easy to use and it heats up so fast!

So far I have liked this heat press. I did purchase 2 silicone heat mats to hopefully help me get more pressure while trying to figure out puff vinyl. This press you can’t adjust the pressure. But every think I have done so far it has worked perfectly. And I love the color!!!

I recently got the HTVRont Auto Press, and I am beyond impressed! I’ve been wanting a reliable heat press for my small business, and this one has exceeded my expectations. The auto press function makes it super easy to use, even as a beginner, and the heat and pressure are consistent every single time. It’s fast, efficient, and has made my printing process so much smoother. At first, I had to get the timing just right for my designs, but after a few tries, everything came out perfect — shirts and tumblers alike!

Update March 2024: This press is still going strong and I still like it very much! I have been able to press DTF (by placing an extra pad on the tray, to trick the machine into using more pressure). I have done sublimation slates with success. I have pressed puff vinyl, but I don't think the results were great and the vinyl started peeling after a few wears. That's been my one failure. But the press works great for regular HTV and for sublimation. I really like the small footprint of this press. I still feel it would be better if the press was redesigned to have greater clearance and to have a longer timer (pressing something like sublimation slates requires repeated pressing of the button, since one is limited to 99 seconds). A pressure adjustment option and a silicone pressing mat would make this press much nicer. Other than those things, it's a good press and is great for a casual crafter. 2nd Update Jan 2023: The re-designed pressing pad is still developing ridges with use. I prefer the silicone pressing pad I purchased separately. HTVRONT would be better served by just including a silicone pressing pad - so much better! Note that the silicone pads you can buy are square and so you have to trim the corners to be rounded, to match the autopress surface (otherwise, the edges would curl up and make an uneven surface). It's not easy to trim and make it look nice. But I would still rather have ragged corners than a ridged surface. Update Jan 2023: HTVRONT reached out to me to explain that the cracking noises were just expansion and contraction of a piece inside of the press and it was not a defect. They said the cracking noises would abate with use. And they did! No more weird noises...yay! They also said they re-designed the pressing pad and sent me a new one. I haven't used it enough to make any judgement on the new pad, but I will update this review after I have used it for awhile. I have increased my star rating to reflect the good customer service, the noises being gone, and the receipt of a new pressing pad. Update Dec 2022: I received a replacement press and at first, it wasn't making any noises on heating up and I was really happy. But unfortunately, on about the third use, this one also started making cracking noises as it heats up. Sigh. This one isn't quite as loud as it cracks, so I guess it's better. but what the heck? Original review: So I really like this heat press. It's working fine, but it does make very loud cracking noises as it is warming up. It has concerned me enough that I have ordered a replacement. I'm hoping I just got a lemon, and the new one won't have this issue. If I have more problems, I'll be updating my review. Other than that, this is functioning nicely for me. I was previously using an easy press, but I was finding that my back was hurting from having to lean over my project. Having a heat press is saving my back. I know others say that it is easier than having a clamshell press, as it saves the shoulders and arms too. Some have complained about trying to press a sweatshirt, because of the bulk of a hood getting in the way of pressing the tray in fully. But I have been using my press from the side so that a sweatshirt hood just falls off to the side. I find it easier. And it fits better on my table sideways. It has been working well for both vinyl and sublimation. I did not have luck with DTF film, but I have since read a tip that said putting another mat on top of the included mat tricks the machine into thinking your project is thicker, and thus the machine will use more pressure. I'm going to try that with DTF to see if it helps. Things that I really like about the press are: 1. Lightweight (relative to most heat presses) 2. Beautiful color (I got the mint) 3. Small size, compared to a clamshell or swing-away press 4. Automatic features save your body from stress 5. Larger heat plate size than an easy press, and suitable for most of my projects 6. Convenient slide-out tray 7. Relatively quick warm-up time 8. Quiet operation, once it is warmed up 9. Safety auto shut off (can be a bit annoying however) 10. Blinking light when turned off prompts me to unplug the press, which I think is safer (can be annoying if you don't want to unplug between uses. But I do). 11. A whole lot cheaper than a Cricut auto press. I do think there are some design issues that could be better, but I have been able to work around them, so they are not big issues for me: 1. As others have also stated, the clearance between the top plate and the bottom plate is meager. There's very little room to work. The slide-out tray helps, but the slide-out tray only comes out so far. There's still a section where you have to fiddle with getting t-shirts, sweatshirts, etc. to slip into the opening. 2. There's no pressure adjustment, but for most projects, the auto-sensing for pressure works fine. And now that I have the hack (listed above), I'm hoping I won't have any problems. Still...having the ability to set light, medium, and firm pressures would be a nice upgrade. 3. And lastly, the pressing pad isn't great. I have included a pic showing how, after only about 20 uses, my pad is all ridged and lumpy. I have ordered another silicone pad that I will either use in place of, or add on top of the existing heat pad. A better pad would have been appreciated.

I’m so glad I invested in this heat press. I previously had a model where you had to press down with a ton of force (83 lbs. to be exact) and it was exhausting to hold it in place while trying to get a good transfer. This machine takes away all of that struggle. It’s smooth, effortless, and delivers consistent, even pressure every single time. The size is perfect for shirts, and I love how simple the controls are. The temperature and time settings are easy to adjust, and I get professional-looking results without the physical strain. The pink color is just the cherry on top! It looks so pretty in my craft space. If you’re into Cricut projects or custom shirts, this press is absolutely worth it. It saves time, energy, and makes the whole process fun instead of frustrating.

I am blown away about how easy it is now to press t-shirts. It's as easy as pushing a button. No more dials to mess with to adjust pressure, no more baking my face and getting so much heat like I did with my old manual heat press, no more lever to lower and raise which was hard on my shoulder. The only question I ask every time I use this machine is "Why did I wait so long to get this?". I actually enjoy making t-shirts again. Buy it, you won't regret it.

UPDATE: Loved it at first but then it broken. The up/down motion of the press stopped working, so while it would still heat up, the press would not close or come in contact with the base, rendering it useless. Attempts to reach the seller received no response. Broke outside of return date but still under warranty but the seller is unreachable. I absolutely love this heat press! So much better than the conventional design. Easy in and out with the ironing board, no more big heavy clunker press handles, a timer that does the work for you. Fits thick items in easily. So many safety features, auto off, cool touch ironing board, fewer potential burned fingers, scorched products, or forgot to turn off. I love it. And the sleek modern design is beautiful. I couldn't be more impressed. Well worth the cost and not really any more expensive than the other styles.

You can't use it at higher temperature like 300 keeps saying error or even cut off the power u have yo restart again

Been using it for few months. It's having issue now. The plate gets stuck everytime we press. The plat is stuck and not going up and it's giving us weird sound like the plate is trying to come up.
