HTVront Auto Tumbler Press Review - Unboxing, Setup, & Playtest of a Tumbler, Mug, and Glass Can!

[@debbienagy2674]

You are the sweetest person ever! I absolutely love watching your videos. You are the source I will go to first, because your methods are tried and true; and your opinions are honest and unbiased. I love that you don't have paid sponsorships when evaluating products. I have found the most success with your videos. Thank you for all you do!

[@cdstark116]

I have this auto tumbler press and have found putting the ends back in for 10-20 seconds each helps with getting a better image on the ends.

[@johnbarton6648]

I just purchased thee HTVRont Auto Press and was able to successfully sublimate a 15oz Mug (was a tight fit) using the Michael's Brand. Also used the Michaels Brand 12oz Mug without any fitting issues. The Cricut mugs are probably just too wide to use. Yes, Michaels make 10oz mugs to answer one of your user's questions.

[@ThisIsMeTinnaMarie]

Thank you

[@amandagreen9050]

Same here mines fit 15oz from Amazon great❤

[@reneedickerson4489]

❤ 👋 👋 I just love the way Jennifer, Team, and everyone on the Channel help us to figure out what we did wrong and how to fux the problem. Also we get to see a lot of new and exciting things.

[@ericka1632]

for those just seeing this video and purchasing the htvront press, you can press and hold down the button to adjust. you just gotta press it and hold it down for longer than Jennifer did

[@conniejohnson6539]

Im a newbie here I just want to say thank you for your kindness and knowledge of all this.

[@JenniferMaker]

Thanks so much!

[@divinepathwaystarot]

I’m glad that I watched this video. The 15 ounce mug problem is a dealbreaker for me. I almost wished I had purchased that one instead of the mug/Tumblr press that I had purchased. Now I am glad I got the one that I did. However, I was inspired to play. So I was playing along with you, and I’m making some mugs tonight.

[@JenniferMaker]

Have fun!

[@bethanyhawkins9686]

So helpful, thank you. I was considering this but since 15oz mugs don't fit, your testing saved me!

[@vickywray7285]

Thank you for this review. I have been contemplating purchasing one. I have the Cricut mug press so I am not worried about mugs. I have never tried to sublimate anything other than Cricut mugs in my mug press because I had heard people who tried tumblers or even other brands of mugs than Cricut brand had issues with the mug presses no longer working. Really appreciate all your tutorials and find them very informative.

[@loiseubank7749]

I have this press and just made my very first tumbler. I held the buttons down for temp and time and it changes by 5 second increments. It turned out great!

[@JenniferMaker]

That's awesome!🥰

[@traciehansen744]

Jennifer, you are the best teacher, I just wanted to say a very BIG Thankyou for your videos, I am new to cricut and watch one of your video's everytime I am trying something new. Thanks again. 💜

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so welcome🥰

[@vickiecooley9060]

Great video. I don’t have a tumbler or mug press. I normally don’t watch anything about them. I really enjoyed watching. Thanks, Jennifer!

[@tammybailey5272]

Jennifer, if you put a 15 oz mug with bottom first it will fit.

[@1ladybowhunter]

I just got my HTVRont today and so happy to see this. I had really good luck with a tumbler and 12 oz. mug. The description on Amazon does state up to 15 oz. mug. Measurements of mugs are on the Cricut box. I love your videos. Thank You

[@julierobinson3381]

I've just got this machine - I love your design. I watched your tutorial before my first use, so THANKYOU Jennifer. I can't wait to get started with this machine on my Glass Tumbler 💖

[@JenniferMaker]

Have fun!

[@billietanney3556]

I just got one, made 11 tumblers and 8 11oz mugs, the mugs were a tight fit (not cricut) but it is a workhorse, and went strong through the entire process

[@JenniferMaker]

That's great to hear!🥰

[@twodevilsonegod]

Hi, Jennifer and team! The tumbler looks fantastic! I really wouldn't have noticed the 'white spot' if you hadn't pointed them out. I love the design. Thank you for showing us the press.

[@NessysPlace]

Even though the bunny is burnt thats a really cool color for it ! And the 3d looks great

[@pamelagreene9417]

Thanks for this video! I really learned a lot and found myself smiling while watching because you have such a sweet demeanor. 😊

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you so much!

[@UnKnown-jp1bv]

Agreed!

[@marialewis5428]

So helpful to see how the different tumblers come out, and to see the process! Thank you!

[@michelefrost734]

I have - and love - the HTVRont regular autopress, this seems very similar. FWIW, the cooking guidelines in the regular press manual are worse than useless... I learned to just ignore them and use manufacturer recommendations. Or my Jennifer Maker Sublimation Cookbook of course 😂

[@jimmycopen4346]

I used a 15 OZ hog mug it fit tightly.. i had a issue near the handle and not enough time used 360 sec will increases time on next cup I also checked a 30 oz hog glitter and it fit . I haven't tried it yet .

[@juliebooth58]

I did not have this when you were live. You are showing me everything I wanted to make now that I have received mine. Thank you and Craig for all your help.

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so welcome!

[@alidadebruyn36]

Didn’t realise you had the sublimation cookbook out. Just ordered mine off Amazon. Thanks Jennifer. Although I’ve been sublimating for over 10 years like you say we can always learn something new 😁

[@JenniferMaker]

Thanks so much!

[@Emily_enjoy_crafting]

I bought the tumbler heat press a few days ago and find it amazing! love it

[@margarethunt7188]

it is nice to see you demonstrate and review these products

[@CathyWalker-r5s]

I purchased that press. I was very disappointed in my results. I did return it for a replacement. I'll see if that helps. I, too, was not happy with the rims of my tumblers. I also had a difficult time determining time and temperature. Fingers crossed for the replacement. Thanks for your help.

[@ritaurbina8281]

I never researched it before I bought it and I am sad the 15 oz mug doesn’t fit so I still have to pull out my mug press. And my buttons do work by holding down yours might be defective

[@y2ksbabygirl08]

I got this tumbler press and I absolutely LOVE it!! Only downer is the large cricut sublimation mugs are a snug fit.

[@saritaboe4539]

I am glad you did this, I was looking to purchase this one. Too bad it doesn’t fit the 15oz. I use that size most often.

[@asimpson9295]

I recently purchased the HTV tumbler press and I haven't opened it and I didn't know it would do a 15oz mug. Great video

[@yvonnealvizo]

Awesome review, thank you, Jennifer!🤩👏🏽👏🏽 I think it did well on the large tumbler, but I wish the seam of the press was a tighter fit with no visible gap. I really hope Cricut makes a tumbler size heat press now that they are starting to come out in the market. Maybe you should write to Cricut and let them know about your review and suggestions for a future tumbler press.🤷🏻‍♀️🙏🏽🙌🏽 Blessings.🕊🎄🥰🙋🏻‍♀️💜tfs

[@dpro7445]

I have this tumbler. I do not cover my items with freezer or parchment paper. I think that may have been the culprit with the cup. But I still love all of it!

[@JenniferMaker]

Thanks for watching! ❤️

[@Schmeela]

Be careful your freezer paper isn't coated. Use parchment or butchers paper 😊

[@cindigiannantoni6255]

Hi, thank you so much for this video, which I watched earlier. I did want to add a few comments on what someone had asked about using the Cricut mug press to do tumblers. I ordered the PYD silicone inserts, and tried making my 20oz tumblers using them. I used the thickest one. I have to say they turned out beautifully. I did have to rotate, and then do the other half. After a run or two the timer stopped working but the heat worked fine, so I just used a timer. I was very very happy with the results. As I don't intend to do many, I did not have to invest in the PYD press which I had in my shopping cart. But if I want to do glass tumblers or cans, I guess I will have to invest in one of these. Too bad about the 15 oz mug, and I wonder about the 30 oz tumbler fitting since the larger mug did not fit.

[@CraftwithAnn525]

I got mine weeks ago, for now I don't have much problem with it, it's convenient for me.

[@Thebetterkeepsgettingbetter]

Ty...I wasnt sure about this product but your vid convinced me my conv. oven and cricut press are perfect. Too many iffy variables and size issues and the temp gage was the same problem i had with their big press. It never made it to 400. Timed out. Refund Ill stick with mine. Ty so much bc i was curious after my press snafu with them. ❤

[@lyndahollins2881]

I am in Australia and love that you also include Celsius, but I use F for most of my machines

Awesome video. Cant wait to try more projects

So many fun projects!

[@christinazimmerman6901]

The designs are so cute!

[@gbrown646]

I love that you take your time and go step by step. Thanks!!❤

[@JenniferMaker]

My pleasure!

[@lyndahollins2881]

I just purchased the bundle for myself for my Birthday on the 2nd, can't wait for it to arrive.

[@JenniferMaker]

Yay, Happy Birthday!

[@Schmeela]

Thanks for this Jennifer and Greg. Love the designs. I scored a used tumbler press (pyd life) with 14 frosted subli glass cans for $160 cdn (115 us) not too long ago. Haven't used yet. Figured I'd use infusible ink but when i saw the great price on Epson printer from Amazon prime days ET2800 and everything I'll need, i splurged. I've been reading & watching as much as i can about subli before sitting down and going for it. I'm glad i bought the press i did. This seems to be another way for them to sell more equipment. I didn't want a press for this and a press for that. I want it to do tumblers, glass cans and large mugs. I dislike 11 or 12oz mugs (with a passion lol), so this press would be a solid no even tho it's pretty convenient. Thanks for doing these videos for us. You are a wonderful teacher.❤️

[@JenniferMaker]

Thanks for being here🥰

[@reneedickerson4489]

Ooo, what cute gloves you have. Love the designs.

[@CraftedKeepsakesofTexas]

Thank you so much for doing this video. This is the press I have been considering. It was enlightening to find that it can't do a oz mug. BUMMER! I sure wish it could go just a bit bigger.

[@catcreat]

Thanks Jennifer, I think I will stick with my oven.

[@gloriamorales-jy3db]

Hi Jennifer, thank you for introducing and testing out the new Htv press tumbler. I learned a lot. Loved how the glass can colors came out so bright. Have the same design and my colors are not that bright. Can’t wait to try your suggestions. God bless

[@JenniferMaker]

I'm so glad!

[@brendaslade1902]

Thabk you for this honest video! I have to say tgat after watching, I think I am leaning toward an oven. Seems like that allows greater flexibility for about the same cost.

[@JenniferMaker]

I'm glad you found it helpful!❤️

[@georgiefutch4512]

I loved this video. Want to learn more about doing sublimation tumblers and glass cans

[@christinekastens150]

Very excited to see this project tonight ❤

[@deea8655]

My cricut malfunctioned and I ordered this product. I love that I don't have to turn it for tumblers!

[@JenniferMaker]

Enjoy it!

[@beverlyleibold3980]

Yes I have seen it but haven't seen anyone try it out. I would love to save for it.

[@jillmcgovern4514]

I just used mine for the first time & it worked GREAT

[@JenniferMaker]

Yay!!!

[@debravanorden5612]

I like the way it does all three. I have the mug press and a.15oz mug is tight. This would work better. Beautiful design!

[@princessteetoys1635]

I think it looks really smart I think it's a lovely colour it seems to have some auto features that seem quite clever ultimately, though I think I would give that one a miss simply because of some of the difficulties with it.

[@trevors7905]

Wonderful demo! I'm not sure it would be worth it to have a specific machine just for a tumbler. Also a big concern would be the mechanics involved with the press closing and opening - that is just waiting to fail after so many uses. Manual closing or oven would be best.

[@Thebetterkeepsgettingbetter]

Just love the way you guys "team up". Hubs and I do the same. ❤ it makes it so fun...really enjoy your vids and especially team ups!❤🎉😊😊

[@MissP-qy2cu]

Omg what a great heat press I’m adding this to my Wishlist

[@videosrfunfunfun]

I love your designs! I am very disappointed in the HTVront Auto Tumbler Press though. I like the bigger mugs and they will not fit. The time/temp setting seems too variable for me. I think the Cricut Mug Press is much better and I expect that Cricut will come out with other models as time goes on. This press also seems to be very expensive for what it is. It seems like a sublimation over would be much more versitile for a beginner. Love all you videos as always! Thank You.

[@creatingeyecandy]

It seems the top and bottom are often an issue. I looked up a 300z straight tumbler and they seem to be just over 3 inches so I’m skeptical. My PYD manual one is much more flexible since you can change the insert easily. Thank you so much for your effort.

[@monuette47]

Awesome video. Cant wait to try more projects

[@karenmorton9548]

I didn’t rotate mine and I believe they can do up to 20 oz.

[@elisacampos9532]

I have one myself and my tumblers and cups are over cooking....I'm trying to figure out the right temperature and time. Can't wait for the update.

[@crystalpool-pv5gx]

I am having the same problem, over cooking and ghosting in the ends! Let us know if you figure out correct temps thanks!

[@DreamBig2240]

The rabbit mug looks like it’s been antiqued so if you don’t compare it to the tumbler, it looks fine. But since it can’t sublimate larger mugs, it’s a no for me.

[@Bobbie223]

Love that no flipping required ❤

[@nextlevelmin1943]

Just ordered mine and my printer. Excited to get started.

[@JenniferMaker]

Yay!

[@kimberlygranger5205]

I just got this as a gift from my kids for my birthday, I’m excited, but so sad that the 15 oz Cricut mugs don’t fit!!

[@juliebooth58]

I just received mine. You make it seem so much easier.

[@JenniferMaker]

Hope you like it!

[@deborahabayomi6863]

Hi Jennifer, thanks for the brilliant lesson. Just a quick question, how long do you let the mug sits/ cool for after “cooking” before unwrapping it please. thanks

[@JenniferMaker]

I wait until it is cool or just warm to the touch. When it is hot it is still in the sublimation process. Maybe 5 to 10 minutes. Sometimes longer when I walk away from it to do something else.

[@deborahabayomi6863]

Thank you so much for your response, appreciate it 😊

[@Snuglesdeb]

I think it saves temps for up to 2 or 3 items I was told, but not sure😊

[@lyndahollins2881]

I purchased a glass coffee mug for sublimation, it was the frosted one like the glass can you used in the Cricut mug press, but the 2nd time I used it I put a spoon of sugar in, stirred it and a hole popped out, I mean a chunk of the glass just popped out and coffee poured all over me and the floor, so you have to be careful.

[@JenniferMaker]

OH NO!

[@amandacrenshaw5182]

I just ordered my tumbler press. Like I needed it? NO!! LOL! I have never had anything come out wrong using your cookbook. I love it. Can you tell me where to find the update to the sublimation cookbook?

[@JenniferMaker]

You can just redownload the link in your email that was sent to you to get the latest update. So make sure to save the email! If you need the link again send an email to [e-mail] for help with that.

Thank you so much! This video helped so much on deciding on the purchase of this press. Few questions. Do you have a video on your use of the PYD Tumbler Press? How did you do your personalized seam on the tumble? Love your videos and Thank You for your wonderful videos!!

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you! You can request that here. This tutorial has a seam. jennifermaker.com/how-to-sublimate-tapered-tumblers/

[@jimmycopen4346]

My 20 oz came out perfect with 380 temps 1:21:21 240 sec no rotation

[@JenniferMaker]

Awesome!

[@jennylowe4486]

I don't understand how people do their tumblrs for so long. I only do mind for forty five seconds and rotate once and they come out fine

[@TheArrowPointsUp]

I just ordered this press and I’m excited and I’m even more excited about the gloves even though I have some more is better lol

[@JenniferMaker]

Lol! Enjoy! 😃

[@susanrowland413]

I use mine all the time my standard is 380 for 90 then I rotate and do another 90 tumblers come out perfect everytime. This was trial and error to find the perfect setting for me.

[@JenniferMaker]

Sublimation is trial and error! 😊 ❤️

[@karlaglover9693]

I always learn so much

[@cathyscott2136]

It holds two mugs also

[@robsmithejr.6077]

on the coffee mug where you said it cooked too long, remember that the mug was as snug as a bug in a rug before you added the design and butcher paper so that might be why it overcooked. Just something I noticed.

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you. Good to know!

[@kcw4714]

Looks pretty great! Between cricket press or htvront which do you like better please? I think you answered my question already now that I’m watching the end of the video! Thank you

[@JenniferMaker]

I love the simplicity of the Cricut mug press but it depends on what you want to make.

[@mlistander]

You can hold the button to go up in time.

[@reneejohnson6434]

Just watched this - as I just bought one of those tumbler presses - I wonder if using a shrink wrap would have helped the edges be tighter?

I have the same one and work perfet after I play whit the temp. And time

[@SophiCarson-u1n]

I really enjoy your videos they are very informative. where was it that you got the sublimation print from for the tumbler? it looks amazing!

[@JenniferMaker]

All of our projects are in the library. I believe you are referring to this project. jennifermaker.com/sublimation-beer-can-glass/

[@laurasizemore3168]

I would be afraid to put in water as items cooled too quickly could warp or crack. My ceramic coated pans have instructions to not heat or cool too quickly to avoid cracking. Metal pans that have been on high will also warp if put in a sink of cool water.. Just a thought.

[@JenniferMaker]

Thanks for the tip 😊🌻

Can you use parchment paper instead of butcher paper
