One of the ways you might do those things and enjoy yourself without spending too much money is with a heat press! And today, we’ll review another brand name.
Information About F2C Brand
F2C brand is owned by a Chinese business conglomerate. F2C doesn’t have its own online or physical store. They work with many 3rd party sites, most famous among them are Amazon, eBay, and Alibaba. They’ve been partnered with Amazon since 2014., selling pet products, office furniture, and home improvement items. In the US, they have two shipment centers, in Delaware and in California. They pride themselves on their customer support and fast shipping.
F2C Heat Presses
F2C doesn’t have many different models of heat presses. Their most sought-after products are the “Pro-series” heat presses. F2C heat presses are simple to use and generic-looking, black with orange heating surfaces. They also have several combo models available, which are likely to be their best selling items. They tend to offer a 1-year warranty for their heat presses. In this F2C review, we’ll be focusing on the pro models.
Best 3 F2C Pro Heat Presses
F2C Pro 5-In-1 Combo Heat Press
Machine Specifications
The dimensions of this F2C pro heat press are 15″x15″x17″, but the height is adjustable so it is not only 17″. It can be shortened to 13.5″ if you think it is too big. Since it is a 5-in-1 heat press, it comes with many parts like 12″x15″ heat platen, one mug press (11oz), one hat press (6″x3″) and 5″ and 6″ plate presses. You can use it at home or in the office because it needs 110V plus for 1,000 Watt power. The temperature range it not insanely high, the max temperature is 250°C
Machine Features
This model opens to the sides, which makes it a swing-away heat press. That is better for beginners because it is easier to use than clamshell types. The pressure is controlled on a side-mounted knob and it disperses on a 4/5″ thick heating board. It is also possible to adjust the temperature unit to be Fahrenheit or Celsius. The display and the buttons are somewhat small but still functional and well-placed. The F2C Pro 5-in-1 heat press manual is also part of the package.
- Lighter and less bulky than presses of similar quality
- Swing-away feature
- Low-brightness, small screen
Other F2C Pro Combo Heat Press Versions
F2C Pro 6-In-1 Combo Heat Press
This F2C pro heat press is the same machine as the F2C 5-in-1 heat press above. They have the same power output and are made of the same materials. The only difference is that this appliance comes with an extra mug press attachment. Along with the 3-3.5” diameter mug press that the former press had, the F2C 6-in-1 heat press has a 2-3” diameter or 10 oz mug press attachment. The sizes of all the other parts are the same. With any purchase of this appliance, you get an F2C Pro 6-in-1 combo heat press manual.
F2C Pro 15×15” Heat Press
Machine Specifications
This F2C heat press weighs 23.5 kg and a printing area of 15×15”. It requires a standard 110 Volt plug and has an energy output of 1200 Watts. It has a temperature range of 0 to 200 Celsius and a timer that can measure up to 999 seconds. It’s made of welded solid steel and scratch-resistant. The F2C 15×15” heat press has an integrated electric control system for easy maintenance and a dual electrical system that increases safety.
Machine Features
This appliance opens in a clamshell manner, which makes it suitable for smaller spaces. It doesn’t come with any extra attachments so you can only print on thin, level surfaces such as fabrics and jigsaw puzzles. The F2C 15×15” heat press has a thick aluminum heating plate which guarantees heating uniformity across the surface. The non-stick silicone pad that covers the heating element can handle temperatures up to 250 Celsius.
Digital Features
The F2C 15×15” heat press offers an intelligent time and temperature control panel with a memory function. That means this F2C heat press will remember your preferred settings, saving you time and energy in the process. It also has an automatic countdown and an alarm function, but it doesn’t automatically open, so you still need to be nearby while printing. The LCD display is relatively small and placed awkwardly above the clamshell heating element, so it is possible you won’t be able to see it from all angles. The buttons are small but brightly colored.
- Space-saving
- Easy to use
- Low versatility
- Clamshell model
F2C Heat Press Parts And Accessories
F2C heat presses have generic parts that can be found in almost any online store. You can start your search on Amazon as it is most likely to have everything. Before you do this, make sure you’ve measured all the parts and know exactly which size you need. Most F2C heat presses come with some accessories, such as heat-resistant tape and Teflon sheets, but these are one-time use items and you will have to purchase more of them, also while minding the size.
F2C Heat Press Manual
Every F2C appliance comes with an instructional manual in the box. F2C pro heat press manual is not, as of yet, available online. If you contact customer support, they might send you an extra copy, but this will probably take a while so just make sure you don’t lose your F2C heat press manual. If you speak Chinese, F2C has instructional YouTube videos available to show you how to use some of their appliances. Even if you don’t speak Chinese you might be able to understand some of what’s going on, but we can’t deny it wouldn’t be easier if they had put some subtitles in.
Conclusion – Are F2C Heat Presses Good Enough?
I’d recommend the F2C Pro 5-in-1 combo heat press and the F2C Pro 6-in-1 combo heat press to any beginner and possibly some seasoned users with shallower pockets. The F2C 15×15” pro heat press is less worth it as it has a worse price vs usefulness ratio.
