Yes. I do believe that warranties are not transferable from one owner to the next with Hix products. (Check with
Hix Corp directly to confirm.) As well, given that it is 10 years old, all of the non-heating element warranties have expired.
I almost purchased a used heat press last year. After realizing that I'm not one for taking apart electronics that I'm not familiar with to add/replace old parts, I did not want to clean any grime from years of someone else using the press and I do not like being without some type of warranty on a product I expect to earn me income, I decided to buy new. Call me picky but it's my money!
This is not to say that some used presses are not great presses. I just made a choice that used was not for me.
And as of yesterday, I assembled a new matching stand for my press and bolted the press with help. This was a big deal for me, as the table I had it on was not very sturdy and thus, did not give piece of mind I needed to make sure my press was secure.
My press is a Hix Swingman 20D purchased (new) from one TSF vendor and my stand is the Hix Swingman Stand, purchased from a different TSF vendor.
If you are able to put forth approx another $300, you can get a new Hix 15x15 press, you would have a choice of a
clamshell or
swinger, and it would include full warranties.
