AKEYDIY 5-in-1 15 × 12 in review

A swing-away press with a 15 × 12 inch platen and attachments for hats, mugs and plates. The table lists 900 W, which is modest for that size.

Versatility

One control box runs each attachment, so you can try several product types for under $150.

Swing-away

The top plate rotates aside, so you are not loading under heat.

Caution

Eighteen ratings say little. The HORGELU has a similar kit with a longer record.

Questions makers ask before buying

A 15 × 12 in shirt press, a hat press and mug and plate attachments.

Is 900 W enough?

It is the table figure. A low wattage means slower recovery between presses.

Our score

7.6/ 10

A way to sample every type of pressing. A growing business should buy separate presses.
