this is a helpful post and maybe somebody who has experience with these equipment could give their thoughts on this. anyone?
Yes, we were told that is the reason they are called English version is because that is the more common type of press sold in the US.I am not familiar with the adjustment on the 'standard' press so I cannot give you an opinion. Most all manual machines have a similar adjustment position as the 'English' version.
The English version is normally call a "Over The Center" pressure adjustment and allows the platen to float or give slightly (up and down, top to bottom) when pressing uneven or something not perfectly flat.Yes, we were told that is the reason they are called English version is because that is the more common type of press sold in the US.
From the picture, maybe someone can make a sound guess on the structural merits of both design. That would be helpful to people faced with these 2 choices.
in my personal opinion, there is no difference in durability, ease of use, etc if both are made with the same quality standards..the only difference will be the extent of application..as to english version you can press on thicker materials..aside from that i cant think of any difference at all..For those who are more familiar with heat presses, the construction not withstanding and focusing only on the location of the knob and why it is designed that away, is there really difference in durability, ease of use, etc?
What you posted is not only called "English version" but also "high pressure"(Because of the handle and the press arm). Here, it retails for about $260-280, is about the same price as a standard high pressure with the knob at the rear.here i come from China,usually the english version is little expensive to standard,
for example, a standard machine 38*38cm can be as cheap as 150$,so the english version is 195$, CE passed,and 2 year guarantee.
like pic shows
I was the one who said that actually because I have seen one with a detached head, of course the only fix they have done with the detached head was to weld it. Thus who knows how it can actually be detached again in the long run....????"some" say that the top heating platen wobbles and by its very design is not as sturdy as the standard one. Of course US made heat presses and maybe your CE passed heat presses have very durable parts. But the english version sold here at more or less the same price range as its standard version counterpart, proved to be less durable (some claimed). This is making it confusing for some interested buyers.

Can you PM me the specs and cost of the unit and the shipping cost?
Unfortunately though, the problem with your 2 year warranty would be how to exercise that warranty here. The shipping back to China (and return shipping) will render the warranty useless unless you have a distributor here or unless you will shoulder the shipping (which then will be impractical on your part).
PS. One thing I just noticed. The 2 presses you posted both have the knobs at the rear.
