    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!!!

    The Microfleur is great! I got the larger size, as I had a lot of wildflowers to dry to include in resin products. I was able to dry hundreds of flowers and leaves in just a few hours, rather than waiting weeks for them to dry with traditional pressing methods. Additionally, color preservation was better than with flowers pressed under a book. Some flowers do take a surprising number of rounds to dry, because they are full of water. Keep with it and make sure the flowers are fully dry, though. It is worth it in the long run, as the flowers wont rot or change color, ruining your project.

    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.

    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 :)

    Ive been pressing flowers for years and have tried so many techniques including using tiles in the microwave. So flowers turned out and most didnt. Most lost their color during the process. Ive been wanting to try this Microfleur for months but it was just to costly. I finally gave in and got the 9x9 and am so happy that I did. If you follow the instructions (and watch some YouTube videos) its very easy. These flowers were from my morning walk and my first time using the Microfleur. I cant believe how vibrant the colors are. Hoping they dont fade too quickly. I have so many projects where I use pressed flowers and Ive even purchased some before. But now that I can quickly & easily press my own, theres no stopping me!

    This is the first craft project and I didn’t know any that I literally could take out of the box and use perfectly and easily. The flowers in the colors this season were so vibrant and beautiful I was looking for the best way to preserve the color and I found this. I watched a video on YouTube and the woman use this press it looks easy and when this press arrive it was So simple and the flowers came out so beautiful. One thing I really enjoyed about those is that you can move the flowers during the drying process and that makes him even prettier I can’t wait to start using these flowers and other projects.

    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 bought this microwave flower press because a lot of the flowers I was pressing using the old fashioned phone book method, than having to wait two weeks, wasn’t working well. My flowers would always turn brown. This one mentioned keeping the most amount of color in the pressed flower so I bought it. Well yes it does keep the color in flowers but they make it seem like it goes in the microwave for 20 secs and than 10 more and voilà you have a pressed flower!! Not so much.. after the 2 time intervals I had to keep doing ten sec intervals, opening the whole thing up and letting it cool down before starting more time. When it was all said and done it was a good 25 minutes before I had really good totally pressed dried flowers. It says The more you practice with it the better you’ll get but I’ve used it a couple times now and have yet Ben evil to press a bigger flower successfully. I’ve tried a couple diff flower types but they look NOTHING like the flowers in there videos. So if your wondering if you should get this or not I would say yes ONLY IF you have lots of time to play around with the perfect timing settings for your microwave and lots of flowers to “practice” with first

    This press is amazing! So simple to use right out of the box. In less than 2 minutes we had beautifully pressed and dried flowers! Be sure to read through the directions and follow the advice on preparing the press. The directions recommend applying a small amount of water to the felt pads BEFORE using the first time. I used a mist water bottle and a VERY LIGHT spritz! Don’t add more than that it will damage your first flowers. Short bursts (20-30secs) in the microwave worked perfectly. I made sure to follow the directions of opening the press and letting the flowers “rest” in between bursts. This allows you to see the progress and not over cook or burn your flowers. Be prepared to practice a few times so. We have had so much fun with this! Really preserves the color of the flowers too - we did pansies.

The Max 9" (23 cm) Microfleur microwave flower press is Microfleur"s most wanted press with 81 square inches of pressing space.

Quality construction and design offers great results

Clips very firmly compress the press and plant materials to prevent puckering of flowers and leaves while drying.

Holes in the platens allow for steam to escape and to allow flowers to press with the best possible uniformity.

The liners are washable and the pads will last for hundreds of cycles.

Step 1 - Load the Press

Load fresh flowers into the press, being carefully they don"t touch or they may stick together. For thicker flowers, it is helpful to thin or remove parts that will not be seen once flattened. Pressing takes practice. It is recommended to start with thinner flowers, such as pansies or violas.

Step 2 - Microwave

Do an initial burst in the microwave, following the instruction booklet. Drying times are dependent on the wattage of the microwave and the moisture content of each flower. Drying is done in multiple short bursts, instead of one long burst.

Step 3 - Check the Flowers

Wipe moisture off platens (plastic plates) and carefully open the press to check/touch your flowers, feeling all over. If they are sticky, then they need another burst. Repeat as necessary, letting your press cool if it is getting too hot. If the flowers have a papery feel, but not crispy, then they are dried.
