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.

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 used this to press my friend’s wedding bouquet so I could frame it. It was super easy to use and much faster than conventional drying. Works perfectly! I could have gotten a size bigger as I had monstera leaves that I needed to do, but it was the perfect size for all of the flowers.

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

The flowers & leaves pressed are being used for crafts made by ladies between the age of 79 & 91.They love being able to chose which plants to use the same day as their day of crafts.Flowers retain most of their color & only have a small amount of shrinkage, making their designs absolutely beautiful. Thank you.

The product had easy-to-follow directions and tips, and the results were fine, but after trying it and another method side by side with the same specimens, I found I got much better color retention and faster results just using paper towels, a glass pie plate, and the defrost setting on the microwave. If I had done some research and just tried the direct method first, I would have saved some money. Plus, after just a couple of rounds of use, the plastic plates were beginning to warp. The pads and cloth sheets did not scorch at all - so that's a plus, but it's still not something I will be using again

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.

I was a bit skeptical at first, but this flower press works very well! The original colors of the flowers stay and the leaves stay bright green. I was able to dry the flowers from a memorial service and give a framed arrangement to everyone in the family. (I bought the brass & glass pressed flower hanging frames from Amazon--no, this isn't an advertisement!.) In the past, I had dried flowers in a traditional flower press which took weeks and the colors didn't remain. I would wholeheartedly recommend this Ectokei Large Flower Press.

I waited over a year to purchase this. Makes it so much easier to dry some flowers easier. The time varies alot according to how delicate the flower is. Some work, some don't but that's OK. It's not the products fault it's just some flowers are not dry able this way.

Easy to use.... as long as you follow the instructions! Err on the side of caution and do lots of short blasts in the mirowave, checking in between, to avoid burnt flowers!
