i found out that you can replace the built-in fuses on the presses (in my case, i called Stahl’s, the maker of the mighty press) and they sold me a replacement fuse for $18 ($27 after shipping).

as someone who thought originaly that i might need to hire an electrician to solve my heat press problems -- i just bring that up as something to check out before hiring an electrician. ;-)

Are you saying you can just change the fuse on the press to a lower amp and it will work with a normal plug?

Maybe it's different for the larger presses (mine is a 16 x 20)
