From The Manufacturer

Be unstoppable with your everyday iron-on essential, the Cricut EasyPress 2 – a sweet combination of a heat-press and an iron. At 9” X 9”, it is ideal for medium-sized projects like heat transferring on T-shirts, tote bags, pillows, aprons, and more, and ensures professional quality, effortless results without the rigorous guesswork and testing. With convenient temperature control of up to 400 degrees and a timer, you can customize your heat-transfer process for quick and accurate outcomes that stick even after repeated washes. Just set the temperature and timer, apply gentle pressure, and voila! You are done. The pressing machine is equipped with an insulated safety base for safety and an auto-shutoff feature that alerts you after 13 minutes of inactivity or no button push. The EasyPress 2 is lightweight, portable, and easy to store, and is compatible with most major brands of heat-transfer vinyl and all Infusible Ink products. It is the perfect complement for the Cricut smart cutting machines, including Cricut Explore, Maker and Joy machine (sold separately).

Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

The handheld design of this portable, lightweight machine is easy to use thanks to its well-distributed weight and flat wide surface, allowing the user to apply even pressure onto the transfer.
We love the Cricut EasyPress 2 — it’s a huge improvement on the original (which was already great) and makes for an amazing HTV crafting experience.
The small size of the EasyPress 2 box and light weight is just one small benefit, but it leads to what I consider the biggest benefit of the EasyPress over a heat press: it's portability and ability to be easily stored.
My favourite feature of this portable heat press is that you can set the exact temperature and time that your project requires.
Lightweight design and ease-of-use makes it perfect for smaller projects

What reviewers didn't like

Suitable for small projects only
Still not as good as the very best heat press
Doesn't include a necessary pressing mat
Pricey compared to regular irons. Still need a Cricut Easy Mat
Limited press area meaning less range in potential projects
