Our verdict

A compact two piece heat press system for vinyl transfers on shirts, bags and small curved items like hats and shoes. The pressing area is small, so full adult shirt fronts may need more than one press.

Overview

Not a clamshell shop press, the Silhouette Cloche is a lift and press unit with a heated plate, paired with the Cloche Petite stamp shaped mini iron for curved spots. A thermal fuse guards against overheating.

Crafters get a main press for flat transfers and a mini press for sleeves, hats and shoes in one kit. The pressing area is modest and the press force is light, which limits it to thin transfers and smaller designs.

Who it's for

Hobby crafters who decorate apparel, bags and caps at a table will use both the main press and the mini iron. Businesses running large print sizes need a bigger clamshell press.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Mini press reaches curved areas
  • Compact for a craft table
  • Adjustable temperature range
  • Silicone mat and cables included
Cons
  • Small pressing area
  • Light press force
  • Thin items only
  • Wattage not listed

Performance notes

Transfer quality depends on reaching the right temperature and holding even pressure across the plate, and the light press force suits thin vinyl more than heavy transfers. The mini iron trades area for reach, working seams and curves the main plate cannot touch.
