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

The new HTVront Auto Tumbler Press is is an automated cylindrical heat press that claims to work with a variety of tumblers, mugs, and cups made from stainless steel, ceramic, and glass. This Auto Tumbler Press reminds me of the Cricut Mug Press, but with a much longer chamber so you can press a broader range of things -- you can go up to 9 inches long and from 2.9 inches in diameter to just about 3.35 inches, and from 10 oz. to 30 oz. containers. Unlike the Cricut Mug Press, however, it does not automatically calculate the temperature and time for you -- so it's not as automated, but it does claims to be able to apply the right amount of pressure based on the diameter of your project. In this video, I unbox and set it up LIVE so we can see how easy it is to set up and then playtest it with some stainless steel tumblers, ceramic mugs, and glass cans.
Range: 210-390°F and 1-600 seconds
Size: 13x13x6.3
Weight: 9.5 lb.
Quick Start:
1. Power On
2. Set the proper time and temperature -- default is 210°F and 20 seconds.
3. Insert your project with the design and butcher paper on it.
4. Press Start.
Times and Temperatures:
Stainless Steel Tumbler - 380°F at 120-240s
Ceramic Tumbler - 380°F at 360-480s (this was too high for my test)
Glass Tumbler - 380°F at 240-360s
Safety - The Auto Tumbler Press shuts down after 15 minutes of inactivity.

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

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

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.
So many fun projects!

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
❤ 👋 👋 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.
Omg what a great heat press I’m adding this to my Wishlist
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
The designs are so cute!

I got mine weeks ago, for now I don't have much problem with it, it's convenient for me.
I got this tumbler press and I absolutely LOVE it!! Only downer is the large cricut sublimation mugs are a snug fit.
Thank you so much. Wonderful review. Very, very informative.
Even though the bunny is burnt thats a really cool color for it ! And the 3d looks great
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

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!❤🎉😊😊
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. ❤
I loved this video. Want to learn more about doing sublimation tumblers and glass cans
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 😂
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.
I just received mine. You make it seem so much easier.

Great video the tumbler are so very pretty! Thank you for this teaachimg video, your a great teacher thank you for teaching us! as always!! Hugs Liz x
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
I just used mine for the first time & it worked GREAT

Thanks for this review I appreciate you.
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!
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.
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.
Beautiful designs
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 .
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?
Just ordered mine and my printer. Excited to get started.

I am having the same problem, over cooking and ghosting in the ends! Let us know if you figure out correct temps thanks!
Love that no flipping required ❤
Yes I have seen it but haven't seen anyone try it out. I would love to save for it.
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.
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.
So awesome
Jennifer, if you put a 15 oz mug with bottom first it will fit.
I cant seem to find how to coat a regular glass , could you direct me where to look, thankyou
thanks so much for this tutorial I am new to sublimating - (I did get your paper book) 🥰 can you buy sub designs that are ready to go? I don't have sub printer. Also, do you have an update on these temps you recommend for this heat press. I just purchased you download book as well and don't see them. 🤔

Sublimation needs a poly coating to work.
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
the glass is beautiful also
I just got your book and the HTV. I love it. Where can I get the sublimation prints you used? I love them.

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
4 ай бұрын
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.

I love the simplicity of the Cricut mug press but it depends on what you want to make.
I think it saves temps for up to 2 or 3 items I was told, but not sure😊
Can you use parchment paper instead of butcher paper
I have been interested in this. I heard that it causes ghosting. I wanted 24:38 to get one but was cautious so thank you so much for doing this video.❤ 25:03
