9 (23 cm) Max Microwave Flower Press Kit for Pressing Flowers and Making Pressed Flowers

I had a class project that required the pressing of lawn weeds. It took several weeks for the weeds to dry in a traditional flower press. Using my traditional flower press, somehow the weeds were moldy not dry, by the time I got back from vacation. The project (to have 10 weeds dry pressed) was due that Monday! So, i technically had a week to do this. What an emergency! I ordered the Microfleur thinking this would not work, but I had to try. I got the next day delivery. I got an A on my project :) Take duplicates of what you want to press and try it out. I did all lawn weeds and the only ones that did not meet my expectations were Purslane. Perhaps its because of the succulent like leaves which i recommend pressing the old fashion way until you become a master at this. I am not disappointed in this product. I am sure i will need it in the future.

I bought this to preserve flowers from my sons funeral. Until I watched a few YouTube videos I never knew this product existed. Ive always dried them the old fashioned way of squishing them in a book and waiting and waiting and waiting. This allowed me to dry flowers in under 30 minutes. I then put them in silicone molds filled with epoxy so I have an item I can cherish forever

This is my second press. Not because the first one broke... because I love it so much! It drys out the flowers and leaves so quickly and the flowers retain their colors!!! Now I can do double the amount of flowers. Just remember to spray down the linen sheets before each use. It keeps the wool pads moist and it keeps the flowers from burning. This is a great investment if you want pressed flowers in minutes instead of weeks with the traditional flower press. For the cons, (which isn’t really bad) the wool pads kind of have a funky odor when microwaving the flowers. Not the worst smell I’ve ever smelled though. Also, you have to wipe your microwave out after you press the flowers in there so you don’t get residue from the flower/herbs/ leaves on your food. Other than that, that’s really a great product.

I hated the idea of paying for dried flowers. I also didn’t have the patience to try drying them myself-until I found this little thing. I followed the directions and only dried like flowers in a single batch. It is incredibly easy to use. It does take a different number of cycles based on the thickness of the flowers. I checked them after each 30sec cycle. Once you do it the first time you sorta figure out what to look for as to whether the flowers are sufficiently dried. I purchased the big 9” one and it turned easily in my microwave. Of course now I’m looking for different flowers to dry. Oh the color of the flowers do not fade. That was really exciting.

What I didn’t like is opening and closing the microwave over and over again to check whether it was done. What I did like was the good quality of the flowers when they were done.

Very sturdy, suitable for multiple uses. Best thing I’ve used for pressing flowers so far.

Easy to use, always always use in 30 second increments only. It gets really hot in just that small amount of time, so adult supervision should be used for children. I would be afraid of anything more than 30 seconds because it could burn you or the materials in the microwave. Used appropriately, it made very pretty pressed leaves and violets for me, happy with my purchase :)

I absolutely love this thing! So glad I went ahead and got the 9inch instead of the smaller one. I am able to press just about any type of flower you can think of, even roses are a piece of cake! I’ve been buying bouquets during every trip to the supermarket because I love trying the different kinds of flowers. My diy ideas and crafts have been taken to a whole new level. The flowers retain vibrant colors and the end results are beautiful as long as you follow the directions. I’m kicking myself for not buying this sooner. I honestly hesitated because of the price, but now that I’ve made the commitment I’m realizing it’s worth so much more! Highly recommend!

I’ve been pressing flowers for over 50 years now and this is the greatest invention ever for this craft – if used correctly, the flowers dry so much faster, & therefore the color stays so much more intense! My daughter found the 5” one at a yard sale & got me hooked on it, so I really wanted the larger size, but just couldn’t bring myself to pay that much money. I finally broke down and got it, and I am very happy with it!

It works- you have to microwave it a couple times and figure out what works but the smell it gives off is fowl. I had to literally open the windows because it smelled so bad. I guess that’s what happens when you microwave flowers and the misrule out of them but I’m disappointed no one mentioned this to me before!!!
