hockeygirl 30 Posted January 19, 2014 I'm looking to buy another heatpress. Had the Sunie forever and it served us well. Anyhoo, looking at the auto-open clam, either Hix or Hotronix. Any opinions on either or if one is better than the other? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted January 19, 2014 Im a hotronix person but wouldn't hesitate on a deal on a hix . . . watch craigslist with searchtempest for a great used one in your area as they are cast iron solid performers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr300s 1,272 Posted January 20, 2014 Agree with Scott I have both and don't think you can go wrong with either one ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BannerJohn 1,324 Posted January 20, 2014 One more thing....I managed to lose the fuse holder....and HIX support was EXCELLENT they not only identified the part but actually HAD IT. Shipped it 'next day' and I had it the next day. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hockeygirl 30 Posted January 22, 2014 Looks like I'm getting the Hotronix. Talked to my rep today and he can get me a lightly used demo for almost $500 less than the Hix. Thanks all for your advice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
