Cricut EasyPress Mini Review

Is the Cricut Mini still as good as ever in 2020?

The Cricut EasyPress Mini device is ideal for a huge range of applications. It’s a compact size and this means that it is great for some of the smaller or more challenging heat-related projects. Of course, it’s super simple to use and it’s great if you are printing onto things like bags, small t-shirts and even baby grows. The Cricut heat press is really easy to use and you can customise unusual projects as well. If you want to find out more about the press, then this Cricut review should help you with anything you need to know.

Compact Size

The compact size of the Cricut heat press makes quick work of unusual projects. This can include stuffed animals, hats, shoes and more. It also comes with a ceramic heat plate which gives you an edge-to-edge level of heat. With a total of 3 heat settings for easy iron-on, it’s safe to say that you won’t have a problem at all in making sure that all of your projects go off without a hitch.  With a lightweight structure and various options to choose from, this heat press is essential if you are always making your own clothing items or if you have a passion for arts and crafts. The EasyPress is able to apply just the right amount of heat to make your project run smoothly and it’s also got numerous benefits too. If you want to find out more about the pros and cons of using this product then simply take a look below.

Pros

The pros of using this product include the home-friendly design and the pro-level of performance you get. The Cricut heat press is able to deliver a fast and easy transfer that is professional in terms of quality too. You will be able to press everything from baby bodysuits to banners and jerseys.

Another thing that you need to know is that the heat plate design is very advanced. It’s got a ceramic-coated service and the unique heating elements are able to create an even edge-to-edge transfer on a professional level. You can control the temperature, which goes up to 205°C and this is ideal if you are not sure if you want a high level of heat. 

Cons

There are a few cons to using this device. With a heat press, you can press a button and then pull the lever. When you use the EasyPress, you need to make sure that you apply pressure. Another thing that you need to know is that this device does not remember temperature settings but there is a super simple guide out there on what temperature settings you can use. This includes for traditional, glitter, foil or anything else of the sort. Of course, these cons are easily workable and there are ways around them, but it would be a better product if the manufacturer was able to provide a solution to the heat settings not being remembered, or anything else of the sort.

Of course, there really are so many other options when it comes to pressing, but the Cricut does stand out as being one of the top choices out there.

Conclusion

More people are fans of the Cricut than those who aren’t, and it’s easy to see why. In a world of heat and rosin presses that, quite frankly, are quite dated and clunky, the Cricut really holds its own and offers a fresh alternative to the standard press.

The fact that it is to compact makes it absolutely perfect for people wanting to try out pressing at home, and with a tool that is literally made for safety and for users who are stuck for space.

Not only do many on the FreeFreeHand team own the Cricut Mini, but we’ve been singing the brand’s praises for years (and will continue to do so assuming they do not tinker with their current winning formula).

All in all, it’s an incredible mini press that has the capacity to certainly perform to limited and standard use. Naturally, if you’re running a large scale printing operation this won’t be one for you… but if you’re looking to start a t shirt printing business from home or just want a press to print your business logo on some merchandise, then the Cricut Mini is certainly up there with the best of presses.
