Microfleur Microwave Craft Flower Preservation Press Portable Kit, 9 inch | Quick & Easy, for Pressed Blooms & Leaves, DIY Washable Absorbent Cloth for Plant Lovers, Reusable Components, Fast Drying

This product is really amazing. Worked perfectly when I dried Dogwood Blooms and Dandelion Puffs. Have done one picture so far with the Dogwood Blooms. Put against a black background. Just Beautiful. Thanks so much for this product.

Easy to use and create instant dried flowers in the microwave!

While I typically don't write reviews often, I do enjoy reading them. Today, I felt compelled to share my thoughts because this product has exceeded my expectations. Previously, I had tried various methods to dry flowers, but they were largely unsuccessful, requiring significant effort and time. However, with the guidance provided and a bit of patience, the outcomes are truly remarkable!

I own a pressed floral preservation business and the Microfleur has been so nice to use on some flowers. It provides more consistent and quicker results than traditional pressing method. I typically use it on thicker flowers and centers of flowers like roses so that they get thinner than they do with traditional pressing. It is expensive but is super easy to use and has held up really well over the last year of frequent use.

I don’t leave home without it. I saw this on Pinterest and thought I would give it a try. I love pressing flowers but am very impatient with having to do it the traditional way. I have a flower press and also have used old books and this method is by far my absolute favorite. Not only is it super fast but it hold the color flowers and plants so much better. It’s very easy to use. Small enough to fit in every microwave we have including our RV microwave but large enough to hold several plants in one go. It’s strong material and very durable. My only complaint is that I wish the clips were attached to one of the plates. Because I take it everywhere with me, one of the clips fell off and is now lost. Also, although it’s a great and convenient product, I feel like the price is pretty steep for what it is and what it’s made of. I try and recommend it to other people but when they see the price they are no longer interested. If you love pressing flowers like I do then yes, it’s a great investment for your craft stash. If you are only going to use it here and there I just can’t justify the price and I would just stick with the traditional method.

I have a traditional flower press and heard about the Microfleur on an Instagram account that I follow. I was mesmerized by the color vibrancy and retention of the flowers dried with the Microfleur- so I took the leap. I am very much against microwaving plastic (even if it is considered "microwave safe"), so I asked friends if anyone had a microwave they wanted to get rid of- didn't care if it was stained, old, etc. It was pretty easy to find one for free. I'm really glad that I got a separate microwave for it, as I noticed that there was a smell associated with the process. The smell mad me gag a bit (I am very sensitive to those types of things), so I took my new (old) microwave outside and did all my pressing in the garage. In the guidebook, it definitely talks about wiping down your microwave after using the Microfleur in it to remove any potential toxic residues, so I am very, very happy that I got a separate microwave for this sole purpose. Anyhoo, I am extremely impressed by the Microfleur. The pictures show flowers that I picked and pressed just today- it would have taken 1-2 weeks to get these flowers pressed in my traditional flower press. The colors truly are amazing, and once I got the hang of how long to microwave things, the process became pretty seamless. For me, I can microwave almost everything for 60 seconds and it's good to go. I am super excited about pressing more flowers as the summer goes on and more things come into bloom. And again, I am extremely happy that I got a separate microwave for the process- definitely worth it in my opinion!

This product is AMAZING. I literally got it a few hours ago and immediately went outside for flowers to press. The colors have kept and it takes less than a minute to complete. It’s going to change my crafting game and save me so much money! This is expensive but I think I have saved money with the amount of flowers that I no longer need to order. Definitely buy this!

I purchased this item purely for lack of alternative. My husband and I got married last weekend in a very small civil ceremony (thanks COVID), and the one thing we wanted to do well was saving the bouquet. We found someone on Etsy who could press it into art if we overnighted the flowers while they were fresh. Well, while the florist timed our flowers perfectly for the ceremony, by the next morning when I was going to ship them they were already starting to look tired; when I found out the overnight shipping was going to cost $120, I decided to just order a flower press and do my best. This was the only one amazon had for “delivery by 8am tomorrow.” I hadn’t pressed flowers since elementary school and was skeptical of a microwave method, but decided to give it a chance. I think that, for my skill level (aka, zero skill), this was an exceptional outcome. I was working primarily with very thick flowers (mostly roses, I think some marigold? Etc) and in a traditional press, I think they would have been lost to moisture before being fully pressed. Because the microwave dries the flowers out, there’s no opportunity for moisture damage. I assume you could burn the flowers, but I didn’t have any of mine burn. And, because it works in a matter of minutes, my slightly-wilting flowers actually came out as well as I would have expected for fresh flowers. I’m eager to try this with some fresher flowers and see how that goes, but in the meantime, I’ve attached some pictures. Remember that I have zero experience before this project, so things like folded petals are my own doing. A few quick tips: 1) The instructions encourage you to prep the panels before the first use (spray some water, microwave briefly); the way it’s worded it sounds like it means the first time you use it, but I did it before each day (I pressed across two days due to time constraints). I wonder if this is why I didn’t experience any burning. It only adds 30 seconds to the process, and I suspect it’s what they meant to recommend. 2) I found I could tell whether flowers were dry based on whether there was any moisture on the plastic panels when I opened them. I started with 20 seconds, opened, wiped down panels, let steam out, re-sealed, another 20 seconds, repeat. Eventually I worked down to 10 second bursts as things got close. When the flowers were dry, the panels would no longer have visible moisture when I opened them to wipe. I was repeatedly surprised when moisture kept coming out even though I thought they were done (or close to done)! 3) if you’re dealing with roses or similar, I personally found it best to deconstruct the flower. I did some large petals on their own, to go behind the flower once I arranged it; or I pulled out the center of the rose and pressed that alone on its side, or pressed the outer layers by themselves. I found that most of the thick flowers that I tried to press whole wouldn’t fall flat well, but deconstructed flowers looked whole once finished. This sort of advice is probably already out there if you’re familiar with flower pressing, but I thought I’d mention just in case!

After many years of using my mini microfleur, I levelled up! My only regret is not doing this sooner! There is so much space for pressing favourite flowers. Read the instructions before use in order to retain hard to achieve dried flower colours and how to not dry flowers.

Prodotto molto interessante. Dopo diversi tentativi sono riuscita a capirne l’uso più corretto. Facile da usare e con ottimi risultati: i fiori mantengono i propri colori ad accezione di qualche rosso che vira a toni più scuri. Attenersi ai tempi di cottura indicati nel libretto delle istruzioni altrimenti si rischia di bruciare tutto (come mi è capitato!)

一度にすごく沢山の押し花を作ることは出来ません。 うちの電子レンジはあまり大きくなくて、ターンテーブルタイプなのですが、大きくてターンテーブルが回りませんでした( ˆ꒳​ˆ; ) 1分を2回してだいたいちょうどいいです。 でも、お花の種類や、挟んだ位置によって、焦げたのがあるのに、ちゃんとかわいてないのもある。 ターンテーブルが回らないからしょうがないのかな。 あと、使い始めの時、2分レンジに入れたら、布が焦げました。。なので、やはり、1分ずつから慎重に作った方がいいです。 押し花が数分で出来るということにはとても満足してます。欲しい時はすぐ欲しい性格なので。

This flower press is so easy to use and works perfectly for gorgeous arrangements of flowers and it does it instantly on the day. Best purchase. I absolutely love it!

Va perfecto, seca las flores en minutos, quizas no tan pocos como dice el prosècto, pero si de forma muy rapida. Para saber el tiempo exacto de secado, hay que ir haciendo pruebas
