i love my hot press! I've had it for a month. I've used it pretty well! I bought it with some fear due to the bad comments but since it came, it has been a great experience! It comes well packaged, it is of very good quality, the connections are firm and secure. I love the screen. about heating it fluctuates a bit, but I guess that's how it regulates the temperature! it has a sound when it reaches its temperature or estimated time. Love it!
