I believe it has been stated that there are far more unsatisfied with the Chinese presses than are satisfied.
I would rather call them junk and have someone not buy one than sing their accolades ( in the minority) and have someone get a bad one. | |  | |  | |
Chinese presses in general, sure, there are plenty of folks dissatisfied with them. This one actually has a brand name attached to it, albeit, not a brand name like Hix, Stahls, etc. Seiki is the maker of this press, both Sunie.com and blankshirts.com carry them, support them and have stated in emails to me that the vast majority of the problems they've encountered were rectified almost immediately.
To say you'd rather call them junk than to sing their accolades because you've read enough about OTHER presses to bias your opinion, is to say back in the 70's and 80's, "I've heard enough bad about Toyota and Honda cars to not endorse them, I don't want to be the person to sing their accolades and have YOU get a bad one". I know plenty of people who swear by a brand and on that reccommendation, I've gotten the same brand only to have a terrible experience with it myself.
Why not simply say that YOU wouldn't suggest one because YOU wouldn't buy one. I've had good experiences with mine, another member here has had good experiences with his, that's 2 positives that I can give you for this sub $300 press.
If you're on a tight budget, need a good size press, this is a safe gamble. The company will ship you parts or a replacement if you happen to get a dud. Sunie.com actually tests each press before shipping it to try to ensure you won't experience a press that's DOA.
