What kind of heat press did you buy? I'm thinking about buying one too, but I don't know which one I should go for!

I was really conflicted because most people in online communities will tell you to get a really good and therefore expensive one. I wasn't willing to spend 1000-3000€ on something I only use for my pasttime. I'm no professional bow maker or anything. So I hesitated. I now dod go for one of the cheap (still expensive to me, mind you) chinese models. I opted for a HobbyCut AA1-S that is 38cm x 38cm and has 2000 Watt.
I read that the ones with the metal pipe as a handle have the risk of that handel bending. That's why I went for a press with a flat metal construction.
I also thought about the size. There are a few smaller presses in that price range. They're very slightly broader than DIN A4. I liked that it wouldn't take up as much space and would be lighter. But I've also heard that cheap presses tend to nt distribute the heat evenly and I was scared that especially on the outer edges the heat wouldn't be enough. As I sometimes make T shirts and need DIN A4 size, I ordered the larger model, where I'll be able to place prints in the center and still have space around.

So yeah, that was roughly my decision process. :)
I just got the shippment notice. I'm sooo excited and hope that it'll work fine for me!

I like the bluettes one too. The red one will look great in contrast to the uni too
