Cricut EasyPress 2 Heat Press Machine (9 in x 9 in), Ideal for T-Shirts, Tote Bags, Pillows, Aprons & More, Precise Temperature Control, Features Insulated Safety Base & Auto-Off, Raspberry

The Cricut press is excellent for fusing interfacing for sewing projects as well as vinyl.

After doing a lot of research we chose this one and do not regret it

So glad that I took advantage of the sale on this and got it for a good price. Love it! Just what I needed!

I tell you what, Cricut’s mini version is where it’s at. That little thing gets the job done. I thought it was time to get a larger size for my bigger projects but the 9x9 doesn’t seem to heat the vinyl into the surface as well as my mini. I find after using the 9x9, I have to go over the vinyl with the mini to get everything that the larger Easy Press failed to heat. I will note that I use a power strip because I can’t easily get to the outlet at my work bench, so that may be part of the issue. I noticed while the 9x9 is plugged in, the lights on the same outlet flicker. I may need to use a temporary location by an open outlet for just the Easy Press but that’s a pain.

I am so happy with this!! Now I don’t have to lift the heavy 5in 1 press I have anymore

Im way past my warranty date and I have no way of getting this machine fixed. I keep getting an error code every time I plug it in and I went to and now I see many users with the same issue I am having. I barely used it and Im so disappointed that all my money went down the drain.

This is the perfect heat press. I love how quick it works and the size is great!

Easy to use. Works perfectly.

Its nice works good.

So first things first, the reason for 4 stars: The device requires a micro-USB cable for registration and firmware updates, however it is not shipped with one. Ive different types of tech, so I had a spare one that worked, but not everyone will have spare cables laying around. This might also make it difficult to initially setup if youre not using a PC. Things I really liked: It came with a sample piece of vinyl and a bag to hold the heat press in that you could practice your first bit of heat pressing. I was very nervous about potentially ruining a shirt, and when I saw that, I was very relieved because it put me more at ease having the chance to do a first press on materials they provided. I do wish that the sample vinyl came with some sort of description of what type of vinyl it was, just to make it easy should I want to purchase that same vinyl or similar at a later date. Does its job! I had to do several presses on some of the designs to get it to work, but I dont think that was the heat presss fault, just the variety of vinyl being used having to have lots of different temperatures. It handled going from 330 to 315 to 290 without any difficulty for pressing different types of vinyl. Definitely better control and reliability than I would get from a normal iron. Does need to be used in tandem with the Cricut website, at least to start, so that you can learn what temperatures to use. I love that it comes with a silicon holder, so you have somewhere to put the hot press in between pressing and while it pre-heats.
