Hey Crafty Friends!  Do you love making iron on projects with your Cricut? If your household iron just isn’t cutting it anymore, I highly recommend the EasyPress!

This summer at the Mountain Make-A-Thon event (where I taught a couple classes on Design Space) Cricut announced the new EasyPress 2!  With the release of the new EasyPress 2 I figured now was a great time to let you know what the differences are, so you can choose which machine is right for you!

Both machines have a ceramic coated heat plate for even heat across the plate – which means flawless transfers with iron on! The display is easy to read, and easy to use on both machines.

EasyPress Sizes

The original easy press is 9×9.  The EasyPress2 comes in three different sizes – 6×7, 9×9, and 12×10.  Each size is great for different projects – I find the large size best for large projects because you can cover more material in one press.

Heat Time & Temperature

The EasyPresss 2 has a maximum temperature of 400 degrees F, while the original EasyPress reaches 350 degrees. The EasyPress 2 also heats up to its temperature faster – allowing you to get crafting even faster!  Not sure what temperature and time setting to use on your projects? Check the EasyPress Heat Settings Guide! I have it bookmarked so I can check ever single time.

Safety Features

The insulated safety base provides a safe place to store your EasyPress 2 when it is not in use, as well as a safe place to set it down between pressing.  After 10 minutes of inactivity the machine will auto-shutoff, so you never have to worry if you left it on unattended.

Accessories

New machine sizes means new accessories!  The EasyPress 2 has a USB port for any future firmware updates.  The pressing mats are now available in three sizes to go with each machine size.

Which EasyPress Is Best?

So, which model would I recommend? I think the EasyPress 2 is the better machine in terms of features.  That being said, if the first version were a great deal I would totally pick it up – it works great.  You will be thrilled with the results of either machine over a household iron.  So, what iron -on project are you making next?

Hey, I’m Brooke!

I am a mom to 4 boys in Calgary, Alberta.  I love learning how things are made, singing to the radio loudly, and can’t stop talking. Fueled by diet coke and chaos, I can often be found working on a project.  You can hang out here for craft ideas and tips, games and activities to do with kids, plus FREE svg files and printables.
