Method: Platen size is width x depth in inches, converted from metric where the manufacturer's home-market page publishes cm (rounded to 1 decimal). Max temperature converted to whole-number Fahrenheit where the manufacturer publishes Celsius only. Pressure type is free text describing the actual adjustment mechanism (manual rotary knob, digital pressure-bar-graph, auto-sensing pneumatic, mechanical toggle, etc.) because heat presses use fundamentally different pressure systems across price tiers; null where the mechanism could not be confirmed from an accessible source. Timer range in seconds is the manufacturer's published countdown-timer range (most digital presses use 0-999s); null where only a qualitative description ('multiple settings') was published. Wattage in watts at the press's standard US/home-market voltage. Weight in lbs (press unit alone, not shipping weight, where the source distinguishes the two), converted from kg where needed and rounded to 1 decimal. auto_open=true only for presses that release/open mechanically or pneumatically without the operator manually swinging or lifting the head (Cricut Autopress, HTVRONT Auto Heat Press, HPN Signature PRO Auto-Open); manual swing-away and clamshell designs are false. multi_angle=true only for combo presses whose head locks at multiple rotational positions to serve mugs/caps/plates in addition to flat apparel, per manufacturer marketing (e.g. Slendor's 360-degree swing-away 5-in-1); dedicated flat apparel presses are false. Two 2026 catalog realities forced corrections to the seed list: Cricut has stopped selling new EasyPress 3 units, replacing the line with the EasyPress SE (same 9x9in/12x10in platens, same 400F ceiling) -- EasyPress 3 is now clearance/refurbished-only, so the current EasyPress SE SKUs are profiled instead of the discontinued seed name. Likewise Cricut's original single-size Autopress (15x12in) is itself now a $299 clearance item (down from $999), superseded by the Cricut AutoPress 2 (15x15in) -- but AutoPress 2 was only found live on Cricut's EU storefront at research time (no US product page/price), so the original Autopress is profiled since it has a confirmed, accessible US price and spec sheet. Several manufacturer/retailer domains (heatpressnation.com, htvront.com, hixcorp.com, manuals.plus, archive.org) returned persistent HTTP 429/403 bot-blocking on every direct fetch attempt during this research session; where that occurred, specs were instead sourced from independently-fetched secondary pages (review sites, retailer aggregators, or brand-adjacent search-index copies of the same manufacturer listing) and this is disclosed per product in 'provenance'. VEVOR's US storefront (vevor.com) geo-redirected to its EU storefront (vevor.fr) on every attempt regardless of the specific URL requested, so VEVOR's price is reported as the EUR figure actually observed rather than an estimated USD conversion (priceUsd is null for that entry, per the never-fabricate rule). Any spec not confirmed by an accessible source is left null rather than inferred from category norms.
