Honestly I have not used the machine yet as I just received it. I must leave this review to show that the screwdriver came broken, mug plates are scratched deeply as if they had been used before. I have read other reviews and I realize that I am not the only one with this problem. The suction cups that came with the machine are not easy to screw in because they feel too tight. There are other little nicks on the machine but nothing major. I hope the machine works when I turn it on. Bought it because it swings away which is safer. I guess I will just have to buy a seperate hat press. The company needs to do more quality testing before they send out their product. Will update on how it works, once I decide to use it as I am using my older press that came in great condition and has worked perfectly. Also need a more detailed manual. Thank God for Youtube!
