The Cricut EasyPress truly is a mini press measuring only 7.8 x 6.3 x 3.6 inches. It’s a pocket-sized heat press that is designed to help you get precise and premium results for iron-on projects. The compact design allows you to take on extra-small projects, including decals for shoes, baby and children’s clothing, stuffed toys and more. It’s got a ceramic-coated plate that heats up to 293°F, giving you edge-to-edge heat for the best and most consistent results. The plate also has a safety auto-off feature that kicks in after 10 minutes of inactivity.

Cricut’s press has three different heat settings, so you can adjust the temperature based on the project materials you’re crafting with, ensuring that your finished product doesn’t peel off. It also works with the major brands of iron-on (HTV), infusible ink and sublimation products. And if you’re sewing or quilting, it’s a handy little tool to get seams to lay totally flat.

The Cricut mini press is a trusted and well-loved heat press machine, with a 4.8 out of 5-star rating on Amazon and more than 30,800 five-star reviews. One customer says, “I did a lot of research before I finally caved in and bought the EasyPress. It is amazing. It feels right in my hand, heats up relatively quickly and nicely presses small pieces of crafting or quilting fabric.” So, if you’ve been looking for a heat press for your crafts, this tiny but mighty one is definitely a top choice.

Given the ultra-compact size of the Cricut mini press, you’ll get the versatility of being able to work on both large and small projects that a larger press just can’t create with precision. Given that the mini press is such a great value, getting almost 30% off on it for Presidents Day is a deal too good to pass up. So grab it now while it’s still on sale.
