I got my HTVRont press yesterday and I love it! I pressed my 1st sublimation shirt and love how smooth the tray pull ut and the auto press feature! I love the 4 modes and that it saves space! I didn't at first like the idea not much space in between but honestly it's not needed.. Mines arrived in about month after finalizing my info.. Still have my other in a pinch if pressure will ever be an issue on any particular project..
My HTVRONT arrived a few days ago and used it today, I pressed a t-shirt using Subli-Ink HTV and it came out beautiful, my only issue is that I will love for the pullout drawer to come out more, is uncomfortable placing a garment to press. But, I do love the 4 preset modes and the auto pressure is very convenient.
Ordered the Htvront today, I’ve got a Fancierstudio but it’s hard on my old lady shoulders/arms. I do mostly children/baby size shirts/onesies so I’m thinking the Htvront will be easier. Thanks for the video
I have a lot of toys in my sewing room, and the Cricut Autopress is my second favorite investment. It’s well built and works great. No regrets on my purchase.
I can not thank you enough for making this informative video! Was thinking about purchasing the HTVront, after watching your honest video have decided it’s not for me! Have never been interested in the over priced cricuit! This was my first time watching & immediately subscribed! Can hardly wait to watch y’all’s other videos! Also, wanted to thank you for sharing the pictures of your babies! Just wanted to come through the screen and hug them! I totally agree with you, you are their mama!
If they were the same price, I would choose cricut. Now since they are not the same price I would choose neither. I know that's not an option 😜. I don't like the slide and the thin spacing between the drawer and heat plate with the htvront, and cricut is out of their mind with the auto press price.
New to your channel, like the videos if just starting out with sublimation, and trying to convert a printer to sublimation, with printer would you recommend
I just ordered my wife the HTVRont with the BF speacial.. but after seeing some negatives, should I cancel and get the Circut Auto Press? Cost is not an issue... just want a good press we wont be upgrading in a year. For HTV and Dye Sublimation on shirts, and other stuff
Hi! Thank you for such an honest review !! I was very interested in getting the HTVRont because of the affordable price and I seen some good reviews But Im interested in one that offers a larger variety. ~What heat press would you recommend to make shirts & sweatshirts??
This was my first time watching you ladies…I subscribed immediately! You are wonderful, I enjoyed the entire video. Thanks for the info and the laughs!
My first time watching you.. happened across your review of this video because I’m new to all of this and looking at possibly purchasing an auto HeatPress
Also on HSN there is this disclaimer with the Cricut heat press; Good to Know This product will not function until activated using a PC/Mac computer with USB port and internet connection. During activation, the control pod is first connected via USB cable to a standard USB (Type A) port on your computer. If using a Mac computer, you will need a USB adapter. Why would a heat press need internet activation?
Hey, First time watching your video. Awesome! Video section 26:08, you mention “The New Fun Heat Transfer Vinyl” can you please provide the link for it. Thank you.
Omg I love you guys 🥰 my first time watching and I hare that I didn't catch this live. Definitely love your honesty. I actually just ordered the HTVRONT and can't wait to receive it although I'm not looking fwd to the limited space 😩. I've got a lot to think about and quickly 😅. Thank you for this. Can't wait to watch the rest of your videos. PSssst. YOUR family is beautiful God bless ❤️
Oh my goodness, I’m so glad I found you today. Cute name. I’ve missed you. I was looking for reviews on the HTVRont and found this channel. I definitely subscribed so I’ll look forward to more of your videos.
I have everything Cricut. I'm a cricut fan, however $1,000 is way too expensive for heatpress. I'm getting this heatpress unless cricut lower their price. This is Cricut first auto heatpress. Why would they make it so expensive?
I agree . Circuit fan way from the beginning. $1000.00 is WAY WAY too much. The average person cannot afford that nor wants to get in debt for that. I just ordered the HTV one.
This is the first time I am here. Rachel, I automatically recognized your voice! I wondered where you went to! I got a Autopress recently, and I kickstarted this one awhile back. I do like my auto press because it pops open when it's done and I don't have to worry about it burning, but I kinda wish I had bought something a little cheaper, but I do love it. lol I kinda wish I hadn't kickstarted the HTVRont one. It looked great in the informational videos, but it looked better in their videos and now that people are getting it, I am seeing things that I really don't like. It looked like the section was bigger between the two plates. I saw that it's harder to push the shirts up under the edge of the top. I do like the fact that it's 15x15, but I am unsure now. Maybe I will change my mind once I get it. I don't know.
I have the Auto Press by Cricut and love it. I had a problem with my Mug Press and their customer service was fabulous. They sent me a new one and I received it in 4 days. My space is small and I can stand it up under my sewing table.
Got mine on the kickstarter for $139 plus $62 shipping. I did not pay for expedited shipping but am still one of the first to receive it. I guess because I'm in Md and it shipped from NJ. I got the mint and it is beautiful! Waiting to use it.
Since I already have a heat press and after watching several of the reviews on it, I cancelled my pledge for the HTVRONT press and decided to use that $ to put toward a laser cutter. Thinking about the XTool. 🤔
I wish I had been able to cancel my pledge before they took it out. Sadly, I didn't see one of these reviews before they took it out. I am now stuck with purchasing it now. Maybe I will sell it on Ebay. lol
@@khowler i feel the same way and i pledge for 2 machines. Im not in a rush tonosy the shipping since my machines are being delayed because of the added product bundle
@@dezireableone I also ordered the bundle but haven't received an email saying it will be delayed. I paid for the shipping just under a week ago ($72.40 to California). I hope this machine lives up to our expectations!
@@lynndaykin8600 It wasnt in a seperate email, it was at the very end of the last update they sent. After all the new i formation they said oh one last thing bundles with materials packages added will be delayed because they are producing the sublimation paper so those backers will have their machines delayed. I messaged them asking to refund my materials pack but have yet to receive a response, and im im no hurry to pay the shipping invoice his I wont likely receive anything from them till late October/November
Hey there! Loved this video, lots of honest opinions and super informative. Just thought I’d let you know, I have a sg1000 and it does have a 13x19 bypass tray you can purchase!
It is on sale right now for $599.00. The Cricut auto press. I ordered it but now I think I will return it when it gets here. I do have arthritis in my hands and worry about pulling on the handle on a regular press. The auto is what sold me on it.
What concerns me about the cricut is the controller plugs in and out. I worry that it will drop to the floor or damage plug unplugging it in/out of the machine.
It isn't that easy to pull out to be honest. I have accidently yanked on the cords and it didn't come out all the way. I have dropped the controller box onto the carpet, it was just fine.
Canceled my kickstarter. I got in at the beginning for the lowest price but decided I’m not loving it and might regret it once I got it. My easy presses work just fine.
I really wish you guys would do comparisons on a regular taped video; and not LIVE…they are super hard to follow and you guys get so many interruptions.
I love Cricut but they really feel like the Apple of the crafting world. The Autopress was on sale over the holiday for $750 but I still didn’t get it. Maybe closer to the end of 2023 the price will come down. 🤔
You guys are like two sisters...lmao But, on the topic of these two product. To be honest, the Cricut is just too expensive for what it is considering it isn't any better than the HTVRont.
@@dyanmichelle4526 I know! Couldn’t believe it 😁! I ordered the sale price from HSN and it’s arriving today🤗. Yeah, HSN also has it for $799 with 5 payments of $159 -NOT BAD👍. HSN has a bundle model for $994.95, but decided not to get it. It was best just to buy the Cricut Auto Press @ $799.00. 😎

This is the first time I've seen a comparison video of these two products, and it's doing a great job!
Found y'all looking for reviews on the HTVRONT. Love y'alls dynamic had to subscribe to the channel. Thanks for both reviews.
Oh my! Thank you so much for subscribing, it means so much! We appreciate your support!

But, I do love the 4 preset modes and the auto pressure is very convenient.
Question...have you done a comparison yet with the Cricut auto press and the new htvront2?
I have a cricut auto press and I love it!! I have successfully did 2 inch wood…..worked amazing!
My wife just gifted me the HTVRONT as an early Christmas gift and I'm in love with it!
Ordered the Htvront today, I’ve got a Fancierstudio but it’s hard on my old lady shoulders/arms. I do mostly children/baby size shirts/onesies so I’m thinking the Htvront will be easier. Thanks for the video
I ordered mine. I have a traditional heat press. But like the ease of use of the HTVRONT press. The Cricut press was outside of my budget
I have a lot of toys in my sewing room, and the Cricut Autopress is my second favorite investment. It’s well built and works great. No regrets on my purchase.
Well we are delighted that you have no regrets in your purchase!

I have an unrelated question. Where did you get the paint brush holder on your shelf lol
This is my first time watching one of your lives (on replay) and I absolutely love your dynamic and mix of crafting and life chats❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I can’t find the link to the power wash video. Please share pleeeaze it sound brilliant 😊
If they were the same price, I would choose cricut. Now since they are not the same price I would choose neither. I know that's not an option 😜. I don't like the slide and the thin spacing between the drawer and heat plate with the htvront, and cricut is out of their mind with the auto press price.
I found this super helpful. Thank you. Is there a Heat press machine that’s affordable that can be used on t-shirt and hats?
Can you actually use an extension cord for the HTVRont heat press or am I not wrong ?
Where can I find y’all’s video regarding the recommendation of presses?
We have lots of videos about different types of heat presses :) th-cam.com/users/OakLambsearch?query=heat%20presses
once again thank you for your honesty! I do not have any presses yet, and will stick with a 5 in 1 or 8 in 1

No! We do not like the Cricut AutoPress to be honest... If you want a good heat press, this is what we recommend! amzn.to/3ATekmc
This one have very bad reviews 😮💨

I am not even in the market for one of these and yet I am watching the whole video lol
I stumbled upon this video and watched the full thing and absolutely loved your video. It was fun
Would you recommend an auto press over a manual heat press?

It's believe it's to update the software on the control pod.

What temperature does the HTVRont goes up to?
I believe its 410 degrees

Does the HTV have an auto presser setting like the Cricut AutoPress auto sets the pressure?

We agree, $1,000 is WAY too much. It's out of the price range of most of us for sure...
They’re down to $720 with an access membership!!
@@kathyneveu1708 still too expensive. Sorry. $200-$300 is the most I'm willing to pay.

Hey there! Loved this video, lots of honest opinions and super informative. Just thought I’d let you know, I have a sg1000 and it does have a 13x19 bypass tray you can purchase!

What is your favorite clamshell press?
I watched another HTVRont review and they added a pillow which did better with helping the pressure.
That's great!
Where did they put the pillow?
This is my first time watching one of your live
Hi dear, which press do you prefer? cricut or htvront?
I use a thicker firmer mat and it works great.
What concerns me about the cricut is the controller plugs in and out. I worry that it will drop to the floor or damage plug unplugging it in/out of the machine.

I just cancelled mine as well for the same reason.
How did you cancel your order? I am trying to and the only thing I can find is to email support. Thank you!
thank u for this I didn't regret pledging htvront. if output almost identical with Cricut expensive one feels like I did the right decision.
Thanks for a great review.
Glad it was helpful!
This is the press I got. I have had a stroke and this is easy for me. I researched a long tom...
Do you have a shorter video on this subject?
What about sweatshirts In the htvron
Unfortunately there's no room to properly heat a sweatshirt. It CAN be done, but it's not very pretty haha
@@OakAndLamb would you recommend the cricut auto press over the HTV then based on this? $ is not a factor
first time here...comparing heat presses is what brought me here

Good afternoon. Your children are absolutely adorable.
Hi, glad to be here!
Warm banana pudding is childhood on a spoon. It’s like custard you cook custard

It's my first time here I just bought this
I bought the HTVRONT.
I’m from Australia 🇦🇺 the Cricut heat press is $1648 here and the htvront is only $410. Who can afford the Cricut for casual crafting 💁
Even if we can afford it, i think it's to much🤷🏻♀️

It’s back on sale
