Even heat across the platen matters more than the top temperature · review
A 15 × 15 inch clamshell with a self-balancing top platen and thread-through base for garments, with wattage listed differently in the bullets and table.
A self-balancing top platen spreads pressure over seams and thick items, the usual weak point of a manual clamshell.
Threading a garment over the base means you press one layer. That avoids the back of the shirt.
It says clearly that the lower board does not slide.

The bullet says 1,250 W; the table says 1,400 W.
Yes on the listing: the space under the lower platen allows it.
8.3/ 10
A good manual press for shirts, and a stronger choice than the Fancierstudio on pressure.
