love it!

The Easy Press came on time and packaging was great. I love using it and made shirts for my kids school events and halloween as well as labeled my son's bag.

Definite improvement from original model

I've had the original Cricut Easy Press for about six months, and love it. This one is so much more heat stable and just super easy to use. It comes in a lightweight canvas bag that's perfect for doing a test on right out of the box! I like that since with the prior model, I had to find a scrap to use the test piece on. I'm also so happy with the gorgeous Cricut glitter vinyl the sample is made from (in a cute Cricut logo for the drawstring bag), so will be giving that a second chance, since I didn't have a lot of success using Cricut HTV (Heat Transfer Vinyl) in the past. Note: If you don't already have a Cricut EasyPress Mat, go out and get one right now! I can literally use the EasyPress right on my craft table (an IKEA desktop) with this. Any sturdy surface will do, and because the Easypress sits on a heatproof base and the Easypress Mat keeps your surface from getting hot, your desk is safe. If you love working with HTV and do not have room for a heat press, this is your answer. Actually, even if you DO have room, this little machine is such a breeze to use, even someone with arthritis can use it. Lift, set it on the materials, press a little, boom, done! Ok, so my first run with the test. There's the regular manual, which is super easy to follow, and there's an even easier Quick Start guide. If you're not already familiar with the EasyPress, maybe read over the manual first, but this Quickstart guide will really step you through it. It's not fully clear in a couple places, so I'll add the missing info. Ok, so set the Press into the base, plug in and turn on. Set the heat as stated, set the timer as stated. But then in the quick start guide, they don't explain how the timer works. It says to set the timer to 30 seconds, then has you press the canvas bag for 5 seconds to preheat the drawstring bag before placing the HTV. Since you already set the timer for 30 seconds, at this point you might be thinking, "Now what?!" You normally press the button with the Cricut logo to start the timer going, so I just skipped that and counted to 5 in my head to preheat the canvas. So in step 4, you place the HTV, and when you set the press on the HTV, hit the cricut logo button and it starts the 30 second countdown. Set the EasyPress back in the base, flip the drawstring bag over as Step 5 shows, then reset your timer to 15 seconds, and repeat the steps. The rest of the instructions are fine - they just left out how to start the timer, and setting the 30 seconds before the 5 second pre-heat. Ok, so I also have to point out how beautiful the bright pink is! I loved the teal one, but this is super pretty! I love the design of the machine. It's easy to hold, doesn't take a lot of pressure to use, and makes HTV work so incredibly easy! If you're hesitant to do HTV work, seriously, so was I, until the original EasyPress. Since Cricut introduced this, I've not stopped Vinyling ALL the things! You will not regret this! I also fully recommend the 9x9 for 90% of your projects. if you do a lot of baby Tshirts and bibs, the smaller one is a good idea, and if you do a lot of XXL shirts, go for the bigger one. I don't do either, so just the mid-sized one is fine for me.

Great Iron for Bling Decals

I purchased this to press plastic bling decals on t-shirts for Christmas and I chose this because of the specific heat settings I could get. The timer is an added bonus and I came to rely on it very quickly. I chose this size iron because I do not mind moving it around from spot to spot for larger items but figured the larger iron would not work well for smaller items. This size worked out perfectly. This is a very quality product and I highly recommend it to anyone who is not ready or have the space for a large press but wants the same professional results. I also purchased the pressing pad that goes with it and some Teflon sheets. To get the temperature settings right for the bling decals, I did some research online and found a blog that talked about it. I could then use the exact temperature settings and timer to pressed the decals on to the T shirts and not worry about melting or having any other problems.

Beyond THRILLED!!!

I have been wanting to purchase a heat press for quite some time. I read and study reviews before making a purchase decision. The big and bulky heat presses seem nice, but I lack the space currently. When I learned that the EasyPress 2 now has higher heat temperatures, I read all of the reviews and decided that this would best fit my needs. I purchased the largest one available. I LOVE that it is portable and was able to take it on vacation with me and craft with my grown daughter. She's about 8 months pregnant and wanted to make cute things for the baby's room. This EasyPress came in handy and I could not be more pleased with it! I suspect that I will get plenty of use out of it. #happy

You’re missing out! At least until you have one of these.

This is just WONDERFUL. I looooooove this EP2 so much! I have the 9x9, good size for me even when doing shirts I never regret that I didn’t get the bigger one. Love the base that it comes with and how easy it is to use. I was ecstatic that it provided me with the first little project and the bag is great for the easy press. Other than having the maker, never been so happy with a product.

A must have for iron-on crafters

For anyone who does a good bit of iron-on, this is a very convenient gadget to have that makes the process extremely easy. The square surface makes it easier to do most designs, though larger ones will need a second pressing (or the larger EasyPress). The temperature and timer take some of the guesswork out, but shame on Cricut for not including a chart, which they have on their website. Cricut recommends you purchase their EasyPress mat to use on your surface area. I use a basic ironing pad I bought at JOANN which gives me more surface area for less money. However, I do recommend Cricut's iron-on protective sheet as that makes certain projects much easier to finish. Overall, while you can achieve the same results with a regular iron, the EasyPress makes the job, well, easy, especially if you use Cricut's temperature/timer chart, and it is worth the investment if you do a lot of iron-on projects.

Wonderful product

I got the 12x12 press and it made applying large decals to t-shirts an effortless job. Amazing quality.

I have unleashed a IOV Monster in my wife.

This was a Christmas gift for my wife.......She love it but I have become the unknowing victim of Iron on Vinyl. Every piece of fabric is now covered in this stuff, everything my kids ware now has their name and decorations. I have hidden all my favorite hoodies and T-shirts from my wife. You have been warned, works great but be sure your ready for the consequences of buying this product.

Perfect reliable press on each garment!

I bought the Cricut EasyPress2 for it's portability. I wanted to be able to press when I travel. I got so much more than I expected. I love the test bag and htv that came with it. This was awesome for trying it out without chancing ruining one of my own items. It heats up so much faster than my traditional heat press. It is also MUCH quieter than my traditional heat press. This will be awesome for late night projects. I pressed the onesies above at 305 degrees in 15 second intervals. I pressed each one twice and did not use a teflon sheet. The EP2 delivered a great press on each piece. It is super easy to use. Just press the temp button (then the + or - symbol) to adjust the temperature and the timer button to adjust the time. It features a warning sound if you leave it turned on. After the warning sounds, it will shut itself off. I am going to use this from now on for my quick or small projects. If you do not have a heat press, this is so much better than using an iron. If you do not have a heat press and you are buying this as your only heat press, I recommend getting the larger one. This size will not cover an adult shirt in one press. Also go ahead and order the heat resistant mat. You will need something lay your garments on before you press.

Great investment

I'm excited! I have been using the iron for a while now. Very easy to use, came well package, easy instructions, set my temp and timer and place over image and waited my 10 sec..the vinyl was set very well to the fabric...
