GARVEE 800W All-in-One Heat Press, 3D Vacuum Sublimation, Digital

I bought this machine as a temporary replacement for a broken ST-3042 3D Heat Press, and have had no issues thus far using it for bulk pressing both irregular 3D objects and flat ones— I'm considering just making this one my full-time machine instead. The fully enclosed design allows for much more consistent heat and pressure, and its being compact frees up some workspace as well.I noticed several reviews claiming its difficult to use or hard to figure out, and although I do have experience with heat presses, I can't seem to get that. It came with an illustrated manual depicting usage of all the included molds, and a few other things. Operation essentially comes down to setting temperature and time, waiting for it to heat, and then pressing the vacuum button to apply pressure. Do ensure the vacuum tube is correctly attached both to your mold and the small outlet inside, and all seems to work perfectly!

It's very handy to use this machine for little projects. It takes a little longer than a oven but I can use it for little projects. It blows my circuit breaker a few times after it gets up to temperature so I have to make sure nothing else is on when I use it.

I would give 5 stars, but the directions are a little hit and miss. The pamphlet is full of info but doesn’t tell you to hit start to begin heating, or to begin count down. I love it though. Works as it should!
