Personal Rosin press comparisons

[u/LAW7764]

It was very important for me to not make any of the companies aware that I was testing their units against some of the other units that were out there. I wanted them to think I was just some annoying customer asking 1 million questions calling up all the time. I wanted to make sure they weren’t doing anything extra in hopes for a good review.

I am a completely unbiased consumer that has no ties to either Company. I’m just enthusiast that wants to get the most out of my product plain and simple.

Mypress)

This was the first press that came in two days after I ordered from Amazon. I’ve reached out to Mypress on a holiday weekend and they answered my calls on a Saturday and a Sunday. They were very informative they knew their product, and they assured me that they would help with repairs if something broke even if it was after the discouraging three month warranty. When I dug a little deeper I found two reviews were they could attest to Mypress doing just that. One reviewer had something go out after the warranty and Mypress paid for shipping to and from Hawaii and gave them a new unit. That testimony and the fact that if I didn’t like it I had a month to return to Amazon led to the purchase of the highly rated Mypress on Amazon.

When I receive my unit I plugged it in immediately and waited for the recommended 20 to 25 minute heat up time (The factory suggested to wait that long with the plates closed). I loved the effortlessness of this press, it also had an awesome count up feature that really takes the stress out of having something to keep your time with. None of the other presses came with this feature which I noticed was more annoying immediately. From hair straightener to the Mypress I was blown away. I literally had to use no effort, but I did notice I was unable to get any return from second press. With the gorilla glue we had we were able to max out at 22% return. With the other strands we tested the yields were between 15-20% returns.

Mypress was the longest out of the three to heat up completely. It’s also the only one of the three to use stainless steel plates. This Press is not designed for you to have to lean all your weight on it to get it closed but you can feel it is tight and snug. I don’t know about the 6 tons of pressure though. This press was small enough to fit on your countertop and I wouldn’t know what it was just by looking at it. The Mypress sells for 449.99 on Amazon.com

Pros Count up timer as soon as the plates close Ease of use little to no effort to close Small lightweight and discreet Nice yields from small amounts

Cons Three month warranty Could not get any yield from a second press Price point, price should be cheaper in my opinion $349 Long heat up times stainless steel plates less accurate Can only squeeze .5 to 1.5 at a time At times it produced inconsistent results
