Heard of the Sunie brand here before but no personal experience with them. There will also be several great discussions regarding eBay, China Heat Presses and/vs US made Heat Presses. I read through a lot of threads and learned a lot.

Anyway, if you're looking for your first Heat Press, you can start here:

You can search "Sunie" or "eBay Press" and a lot of threads will probably come up.

Hi

IN my research i have found that you get what you pay for, Though this may seem like a great deal and you are getting a lot for your money I think you will find you would have endless problems with this type of heat press.
These cheaper presses are known for uneven temp across the platen and can result in poor quality finishing.
You may save money on your purchase but lose more and more money on wasted transfers, vinyl, garments etc.

This is just my opinion and there are some people on here that state to have used cheaper china made heat presses for years with no trouble but i think youll find the majority would say Dont skimp on the heat press!

Hope you find the right one for you and have years of happy pressing

All the best

Goodnana, I think you will find that the vast majority of those that actually purchased a heat press made in China are satisfied with their purchase. However, if the budget allows, let's support the US manufacturers.
