I previously had a Cricut heat press but it stopped working. I wasn’t sure about the Xtool heat press but I have become a huge fan of all the products from this company! The Quality is absolutely outstanding! So I decided to give the mini press a go!!! It’s 10x better in my opinion. It heats up fast faster- gets hotter- and It comes with a digital timer/a bonus since the Cricut mini doesn’t have it. XTool mini also automatically shuts off as a safety procedure incase you leave it on too long. In all honesty- I wish I went with my instincts and just bought the whole set up instead of just the mini.
In short! DONT SECOND GUESS. It’s worth it. (I get nothing out of leaving this review - but as a fellow crafter - I want to share that the extra $10 from xtool compared to the Cricut mini is worth it. Plus xtools packaging is “on point”

I recently had the opportunity to use this heat press, and I must say it exceeded my expectations. The quality of the press itself is impressive, delivering consistent and even heat distribution for the materials I'm working with. It's incredibly convenient and adds a layer of precision to my projects.

I was using one of those sketchy presses you can get off eBay. I got notification from eBay that the press could spontaneously catch fire, and I looked around for one that met all my needs, and the xTool press has more features and ways to use it. I bought the all-in-one kit from Amazon because I had a gift card, but my laser cutter buying experience with xTool has been great, so I wouldn't hesitate to buy this from xTool. This heats up pretty quickly, and I bought the all-in-one kit that has the stand and the mini-press, so those will come in handy for knocking out shirts and anything that's a bit smaller. I am in the market for a new vinyl cutter and maybe the xTool screen printing machine, but I need to go a little at a time! xTool makes really nice products, and the packaging on them ensures you'll get everything undamaged. I've had great luck with the products I have bought.

This machine is amazing. It's got all the features you never knew you wanted!

Can't wait for all the wonderful works I will be making with this bad boy super excited
