Default Re: New "Cheap" Heat Press Arriving Today

When I think of the quality of the imports, two questions come to mind:

1. Does it work well - even heat, no cold spots, temperature at stated level, etc.?
2. Longevity? Will the heating element, digital controls, structural components, etc. last?

I too would like to hear the answer to #1 from any who have the import presses. I suspect that the latter question will probably take a couple of years minimally to be determined. And #2 may ultimately be more important, given little or no warranty and the cost of shipping if repairs can't be handled locally.

I won't knock Chinese presses simply because they're manufactured overseas. But I would be inclined to criticize them if they aren't built for durability, or are susceptible to platen and digital problems.
