Default Opinions on this heat press?

I think that I am ready to purchase a nice press and was thinking about going with the Phoenix Phire 16X16 or maybe the larger size. Can I hear your guys opinions on this press and also if you think any sub $1000 press is better and for what reasons.

Thanks
ERC

Default Re: Issues with this heat press

one major factor involved with choosing a heat press is that, you need to ask yourself:

How many shirts wiil I be pressing a week ?

There is a big difference between pressing 10 or 1000 shirts a week.

Some presses the parts are better made to endure more volume, others are made for less use.

The Mighty press that I use is really, really designed well. This thing is heavy duty. Built strong. It is 15 x 15 and I paid a little over $600 and it included shipping. I got it from Coastal Business. I don't see the advantage of paying 1000 for a press that is only 1 inch larger. Lou You can see it in action on my video.
