Cricut EasyPress Mini — Raspberry Handheld Heat Press
Product description
Designed to tackle small or irregularly shaped heat-transfer jobs, the EasyPress Mini is a compact, handheld heat press intended for detailed work like sleeves, pockets, hats, stuffed toys and appliqués. The unit features a tapered precision tip that helps you reach tight areas and align transfers accurately.
The press offers three selectable heat levels to cover common materials—heat-transfer vinyl (HTV), Infusible Ink and sublimation papers—so you can pick the temperature that suits your material and backing. The housing is lightweight for one-handed use and shaped for a comfortable grip, while the heat plate is sized to focus heat on small areas instead of large surfaces.
Included with the press is an insulated safety base that protects surfaces between uses and prevents accidental burns while the tool is hot. The device also has an automatic shutoff for added peace of mind when you step away mid-project.
This mini press works alongside major heat-transfer materials and complements larger heat presses or cutting machines when you need precision work. It’s also handy for sewing and quilting tasks such as pressing seams, flattening zippers and setting small patches. The tool meets common safety and certification standards, including UL, CSA, FCC and IEC listings, and it is also recognized by testing labs such as TUV and Intertek.

More than just for brand-name iron-ons
Great for baby garments and quilting scraps. I use it to press seams while sewing and to prep small fabric pieces from my scrap bin. Very versatile for multiple sewing tasks.

Quick and convenient for tiny jobs
Early days but it’s already proven handy for very small projects. Easy to use and store.

Handy for crafts and small personal items
Really convenient and simple to operate. The small size makes it more useful for craft projects and little household items. Heats fast and the three settings let you match materials—just be sure to pick the right temperature. Folds away easily for storage.

Warning: US-style plug included
It comes with a US plug rather than a local type, which wasn’t obvious from the product images. I ended up modifying the cable to fit my sockets; if you can’t do that or don’t have an adapter, you won’t be able to use it in some countries. Otherwise it functions well and the rubber rest protects surfaces. Reported temperature ranges: Level 1 ~125–145°C, Level 2 ~150–180°C, Level 3 higher.

Perfect for tiny projects and awkward areas
This compact press handled sleeves, pockets and other curved spots far better than my full-size press. It warms up quickly, maintains heat, and the slim tip lets me place transfers exactly where I want. Took a few tries to learn timing, but once dialed in it delivers consistent, clean results. I also appreciate the insulated stand so the hot tool doesn’t sit directly on my table. Very satisfied.

Works well with UK plug option
I purchased one with the correct regional plug. It’s a handy sewing-room tool to press seams without bringing out the ironing board. I use it on a small mat purchased separately; the three heat settings are easy to switch and it warms quickly. Took a bit to arrive but I was happy with it in the end.

A tool you don’t realize you need until you own it
I love this mini press for spot-ironing small areas without pulling out a steam iron. The cord is long and robust so I don’t worry about strain. It heats up efficiently and has auto-shutoff if I forget it. The insulated base is extremely useful. Lightweight and comfortable to handle—I’d recommend it.

Simple to operate and effective
Ideal for small jobs. It heats evenly and quickly and made applying patches to a vest effortless. Build quality matches the intended use—good value for small tasks.

Couldn’t use due to US plug
It had an American plug so I couldn’t use it at home without buying extra adapters, which was an unwelcome extra cost.

Great little heat press accessory
Nice addition to my Cricut tools. Heats up fast, the three settings are straightforward, and it performs reliably. Would recommend.

Arrived unsealed — not what I expected
Cute and lightweight, but mine arrived with the box seal broken and looked like a return despite being sold as new. I’m returning it for that reason.

Power warning: 110V unit
The device is a 110V model and won’t accept 220V without a voltage converter. Keep that in mind before plugging it in.
