Cricut EasyPress Mini - Raspberry

Phenomenal machine. This is our first purchase of a Cricut and really did our research on which of the 7 models would work best for our business. We chose this model due to its advanced abilities over the Cricut Joy but it’s more learner experience over the Cricut Maker 3. After a few short YouTube videos and a very basic software install we were able to print and cut new designs and logos for our company uniforms within an hour of opening the box! Absolutely love this machine and already looking at purchasing the well priced accessories and add on’s.

I love the Cricut brand. This mini heat press is so light and portable you can take it anywhere. It comes with a base to store it on when not using. This is great for small and bulky projects. You can use it as a heat press or as an iron. It has 3 settings and gets very hot so please be careful around little ones. #CRICUT #MINI HEAT PRESS #PORTABLE

I love how easy this little press is to transport. When I have a little item to heat press, it’s quite convenient. I’ve had mine for a few years now and use it often. I’ve taken it with me to work, my sister house, travel because sometimes we’re working on a group project and this is just so handy. You do have to keep a mental timer or set one up as it doesn’t have one like the regular sized presses do, but its size makes up for it. It has three temperature settings, but I always end up using the higher one.

100% satisfaction unbelievable customer service

It blew my mind to see a company that has such great customer service. I had come to terms with this new generation of customer service "if you could call it that" or lack of, but when i walked into this store i was blown away to be treated with respect and genuinely seems to care about i was in search of. I was unsure of the products name, i couldn't remember what exactly my wife had described. This is a Christmas gift. I tried to convey what she wanted but pretty much had no idea what i was talking about. This young lady had the most patient and genuine care for what i was trying to buy. Absolutely amazing that she was able to decipher my jumbled ramblings, and she helped me pick this product which i did pry to my wife what she had wanted. Boom the young lady at ... MoreIt blew my mind to see a company that has such great customer service.

Boom the young lady at the store nailed it, even chose the color she wanted. Who knew. Anyways amazing experience i had. Ive written 3 reviews in my life this is #3 so happy with this company.

Careful Considerations

I bought its for a project that I working on that had patches. I utilized the mini press heat press guide online. Unfortunately the items didn't adhere well and I had to go over them with fabric fuse. I feel as if the circuit items can be overpriced, understanding the price is not subject to other store discounts. Realistically, I could have gone with just the fabric fuse, without purchasing the press as well as the Easy Press Heating Pad (sold separately) for an additional $20.00 plus tax.

Cricut is a useless company.

Firstly, having purchased a Cricut Joy and trying to connect via Bluetooth from my Desktop, it would not. My desktop says it is paired but Joy would not accept the pairing.Hobbycraft took the useless Joy back and refunded me the cost.Then I purchased a Cricut easypress mini, plugged it into the power socket, and even with such a simply product, the button would not even light up even after pressing this button. Took it back to Hobbycraft, they plugged it in and agreed it was faulty. The then provided another sealed box, opened it and plugged it is and IT WORKED. So they gave this working one to me and retained the faulty one.I am an expert in computing and the UK Government even funded me to create a University Company to create systems to help the blind and ... MoreFirstly, having purchased a Cricut Joy and trying to connect via Bluetooth from my Desktop, it would not.

Their Cabinet Office and UK Spy Centre then used our systems since 1986-7, then supplied many councils around the UK and then 3 top UK Banks purchased out systems for their blind and partially sighted customers.for over 20 years.Cricut must be one of the worst US Companies for quality control and testing.I purchased the easypress mini to help with creating dresses to iron between the buttons and buttonholes. Now that I have a working easypress mini, this now works well.

It's my new best friend

This little guy works wonderfully on small HTV projects that are hard to work on with a regular iron or heat press. I've used it successfully with Siser htv, cricut, silhouette, jolee and june tailor. Pro tip: I use butcher block sections cut in various sizes instead of a wooden table to apply vinyl to sleeves or collars. Buy an ironing board cover, cut it into sections that fit over your blocks and staple the edges to the sides of the blocks if you like. Don't use pillow cases on a table for work surface.... The ironing board cover reflects the heat back to the project for faster application. I've tested this method with a laser thermometer when it was taking longer with the pillow case method.

Perfect for Embroidery

I bought this so that I don’t have to bust out the iron and ironing board every time I need to remove Frixion pen ink from fabrics I’m embroidering. This is the perfect size and it heats up quickly. It works great and is also useful for simply ironing the fabric I’m embroidering prior to putting it into a hoop. It’s such a time and effort saver to not have to bring out the ‘big’ iron and ironing board anymore.

Perfect for Small Projects

The Cricut EasyPress Mini is the perfect solution for any small iron-on project. It has multiple heat settings that are changed by pressing a button. I've used this product with iron-on patches, heat transfer vinyl, and printable sheets. I even use it to iron my child's small clothing when I don't feel like taking out the ironing board and full-sized iron.

absolutely awful

I have went though 2 of these in less than a year.First one i bought at Walmart lasted a whole 2 weeks before i had to call customer service.they replaced my mini press but without a warranty was their agreement. which should have been my first sign!! second one lasted about 10 uses before it done the same thing.my Chinese heat press from amazon has lasted me way longer than any Cricut could have ever thought its a rip off and waste of your money and time. not to mention all the hoops i had to jump though just to get a replacement!! worst product even and they clearly know there's an issue the customer service rep said so her self but yet here they are!!
