Etcokei Microwave Flower Press Kit - 4 Layer Quick Flower Pressing Tool, Great for Resin Arts, Scrapbooking, Nail Craft & DIY Arts - Adults & Kids

Great product, love the way it works!

I took a dried flower craft class at a local farm last spring and the instructor used these. I immediately ordered one for myself and used it a couple of times a week through the end of autumn. It will not warp and provides beautiful results if you follow all but the heating instructions. In class, we heated one side for one minute, let it rest for a minute, flipped the unit over and heated for a second minute then rest 1 min, then flipped it again and heated it for a third minute. We let it cool for a couple of minutes before removing the leaves and flowers. I will say that this does not work with any plant materials thicker than about 1/4". I tried to dry a couple of zinnias and some black-eyed-susans and they were too thick in the center, but I did tons of leaves and queen anne's lace and flowers like daisies and petunias and cosmos, etc. All that being said, I doubt I'd be as happy with the results if I had tried to use it on my own and without the benefit of the instructor's experience, so I hope this info helps someone. It's definitely not a replacement for the more traditional methods of drying flowers, but it can produce some cute results quickly for projects like decoupage or pressed-glass ornaments, etc.

I recently purchased a flower press from Etcokei, and I couldn't be happier with both the product and the customer service. The flower press itself is fantastic—sturdy, well-designed, and perfect for preserving my favorite blooms.What really stood out to me, though, was the exceptional customer service. When I encountered an issue with my initial order, the team was incredibly responsive and helpful. They quickly replaced the item and kept me informed throughout the entire process. Their communication was top-notch, and they made sure I was completely satisfied with my purchase.I highly recommend them for their quality products and outstanding customer service. It's clear they truly care about their customers and go above and beyond to ensure a positive experience

This press works GREAT! I've never used anything other than a pressure and time press. This is fast, easy and gets GREAT results! If you like to dry pressed flowers, you will not be disappointed!

It gets the job done…. With that being said, the plastic pieces on the outside have warped with just a few uses.

My husband passed and I didn’t want to throw away all of the funeral flowers. I purchased this with a plan to make an art piece with the dried flowers. It took days of drying the flowers on and off to complete the job, but it kept my mind busy and focused on a goal. It was easy to use with great results. The kitchen had an odd vegetable smell while using the product. I highly recommend.

My daughters and I have a garden and this is another way we can extend the garden into the house. It's very easy to use but it can be very stinky- sometimes a little burnt smelling while in the microwave. But the pressed flowers look beautiful when they come out and we have been using the pressed flowers for little art projects- book makers, cards and collages. This is a quick and fast way to get pressed flowers but I am thinking of getting a manual press because I would love to phase out our microwave. I have to do the work of it so that the flowers come out nicely. I wish it was a little more kid friendly to use.

Very please with this. Flowers are beautiful. Make sure you follow the directions carefully or you will burn the flowers.
