Wow! You did an amazing job with showing us ALL the intricacies of both presses...I really appreciate you doing this! Thanx SO much! 🥰

Hi Corinne! Thank you so very much for your complete transparency, I truly appreciate your honest review and I look forward to learning more from your reviews/posts. Many blessings to you & yours! Latisha

This video deserves a sub… I take my hat off to you for going that extra mile and paying for the presses, making, editing and posting the video. It has all the information I need to allow me to purchase a mug press. Thank you 🙏

Which Press did you get?

Awesome review. You really covered all the bases in a clear and up front way, which I really appreciate. I'm looking forward to seeing what other things you do with the presses going forward. I would love to see if they can do tumblers and stuff.

Thank you for this honest review! You definitely want to use a piece of copy paper around your mugs before pressing when using sublimation ink or it will transfer to the press.

Thank you so much for this very nonbiased review. I was at Michael's yesterday and I saw it but I wanted to see people's thoughts and how it works. This video has given me lots of information about the product and the one from Amazon. I will probably be getting the Amazon one since I like making designs. Again thank you so much

Thank you. I appreciate your taking time to compare several variables. You evaluated fairly. Very helpful.

I really enjoyed this video... thank you for taking the time to do a decent comparison for us

Looking at buying a Cricut and mug press at the moment and I found this to be a balanced critique of the products presented. Many thanks and well done - Subscribed.

Thanks very much for your detailed description of both machines and types of mugs. Very appreciative of your time!

First time i watch your tutorials! Excellent 💪🏼💪🏼thank you for taking the time to help us decide. Cricut machine is beautiful but that is all!

Absolutely fantastic comparison!!! I love that you didn't get to practice before sharing everything with us. All the other videos I've seen were obviously sponsored by Cricut because they had the presses before they were for sale. So they had time to practice before their videos. I love your honesty and comments on both presses. I almost got one today, got up to the register and because of a price issue, walked out without anything. Thank you again for the true and honest comparison. I sincerely appreciate it. ❣❣❣❣❣

Good review. At this time, I am not planning on getting any mug press. We have so many mugs in our house already but I think the colors and being able to put your own ideas on the mugs are wonderful and may have been interested a few years ago. Thanks for investing in the tutorial. Really good review. One comment, others have been saying to put uncoated paper around the mug to prevent the discoloration to the cricut mug press.

Corrie, thank you for giving review that's not influenced by companies or agents.

Your reviews are fresh and honest. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this information! I’ve had my mug presser for almost 7 months now and couldn’t figure it out. My dye sublimation sheets wasn’t transferring on the mug and I gave up. I just went to Jo Ann and bought the Cricut mug and it work!! I’m so excited!!

Sounds like you were not using mugs made for sublimation. Unless the cricut mugs are on sale I wouldn’t buy them. They are pricey. I recommend 143vinyl for mugs you can use code CORINNE to save on them as well

Thank you so much for this review. I just got the Bettersub press and I tried an off brand infusible ink. The infusible ink had a different temp than the press suggested, so my first mug was a fail, but I'll try again using the correct temp for the sheets. I am waiting for my sublimation printer to arrive so we'll see how it goes!!! Again, thank you so much for this video review. It's really helpful!!!

I love your honesty! Thank you for doing this! Also, I have seen other videos where the tape over the design could prevent the color from being a vibrant. I noticed some color was left on the paper in the same spot as the tape. Hope that helps. I'll definitely subscribe. Looking forward to more videos! 🖤

Thank you so much for the unbiased review and for the comparison that you carried out. I looked at the mug press when it was announced, hubbs and I discussed it and he decided a 5 in 1 was a better option, especially here in Australia, as the cricut mug press does not go on sale here until around November and looking around the $300-$400 Aud mark. The 5 in one cost us $224 aud. Thank you for your honesty :D and have subscribed to your channel. Oh and you have made me more confident to try the mug press I have now. :D

Hello Connie thanks for the honest review on them both I'm trying to figure out witch one I want this was very helpful 🤩

i have the same mug press from Amazon. I have been doing 400f for 3 mins for Infusible Ink and by the manual for sublimation.

You did a great, super comprehensive comparison for the products, thank you so much for doing this! Reviews like this enable more confident purchasing.

Great video. I found a cricut mug press new for $100 on Facebook. And it looks way more convenient to own and use. Also I think the warranty and customer support will be way better with cricut, I hope. But dealing with Amazon sellers... They aren't so great most of the time.

Thanks for sharing. I have a heat press machine that came with 3 additional attachments for mugs and bottles. I was going to purchase the cricut one to go with my Maker, but thank you for saving me the time and money

Love the "hush calm your self " to the cricut machine lol!!! Ty for the review :)

Great video, it's hard to find this comparison, but I came to the same conclusion you did for sublimation and went with the Bettersub Mug press. Thanks for the great detail and comparisons.

Thank you; this was very helpful and thorough. Immediately subd after watching first 2 mins; you gave a very honest and helpful review

Wonderfully thorough and thoughtful review!

Thanks Corinne for taking the time (and materials) to do this video for us. It was a great video and had lots of info and a great comparison for the machines. I do think the Cricut press would be ok if the price wasn't so high! I do like the other press though. Thanks again!!!

Thank you so much for your review and openness!

VERY helpful video. Just starting my research into this craft and this video seems like a “one stop shop”. Thanks!

Thank you for your HONEST opinion. Much appreciated!

So helpful! Thank you for investing your time and money so we can all learn

A good, thorough comparison of both machines. I bought my Maker for cutting fabric for applique mainly and maybe a few other things. I was curious to see what this mug press was all about but I wont be rushing out to buy one, Cricut or from Amazon. It gets really expensive. The infusible ink sheets are eyewateringly expensive and there is no way I could ever afford a sublimation printer but it is good to see how these things work. Thankyou so much.

I brought my mug press at around Christmas sales last year and used AFFIRM which you will find in the list of outside places to charge. I paid mine off in 6 months, but you have choices. Easy way to do craft buying.

When you sublimate use parchment paper between the machine and the cup and it keeps from staining your machine. It really helps! Amazing review!

I found you today because KZread put you in my cue! Thank you so much for the awesome unbiased review of these mug press’s. I think it’s butcher or parchment paper that you need to put around your cups would stop your sublimation ink from staining the inside of your Cricut Mug press. Thank you so much for the information of the printer you use for your sublimation ink, as well. I think I might be interested in doing sublimation.😺

Thank you, you did an awesome job comparing

Very informative video thanks!!!!

Thank you for this comparison!

Thank you for the review!!!

Thanks for your honest review I will stay with my mug press

Also, when taping the art to the mug, would you get better results if you allowed a minimum distance from the top and bottom (say 1/8") so the artwork can be well pressed against the mug? It appears that when you tape the top and bottom edges, that process may be keeping the press from fully pressing the art to the mug. If there is a minimum gap from top and bottom, you wouldn't need to tape, and the press may press the art more evenly with no gaps. (I'm assuming, based on the little experience I have personally.) Thx for reading.

Great review, thanks!

There is a knob on the non cricut press that you should adjust for the cup you are using so it will fit easier - plus so you will apply the correct pressure.

Good review thanks

Valuable information , thanks.

thanks for the info🥰

Just FYI you can design your sublimation designs and send to multiple folks on etsy to print and ship to you. (If you do not want to invest in a sublimation printer)

I’m not sure if it is compatible Bestsub but I know for one press you can buy an attachment that makes it usable for a multitude of sized glassware. That is largely why I’ve been leaning toward the Bestsub. Thank you for your honest review it is much appreciated.

Btw, I just clicked on your link to for the Better Sub machine on Amazon. And it is currently priced at $119.99. It's out of stock right now. But the info states it will be back in stock on March 21st. This is an awesome review. I don't really have a use for this type of machine just yet. I'm still in the 'intermediate' stages of learning my Cricut Explore Air 2. 😊 But it's nice to know a little bit about both of mug machines in case I decide to get one down the road. Thank you!

I’m curious as to why you use so much tape on your mugs. We have had a TransPro Mug Press, and been doing mugs for over 6 years. All we have ever had to do is make sure paper is tight to mug, and then secure with two pieces of tape by the handle.
