Default Is this heat press good?

Hi

Has someone experiences with this heat press, what I find from eBay.
Looks OK and then I don't need different presses.
Link to this auction.



I am just starting my small printing business and so I looking for equipment.
How I understand - the most important thing is heat press.
For printer I think I take Epson C88 with sublimation inks.

That press might be ok for the hobbist, but will never be a good choice if you plan on making a living using it. It's biggest problem is uneven heat with the platen which will cause a lot of wasted time and materials.
