    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.

    Just received the flower press today and used it right away. DO NOT USE IT WITH DRY SHEETS! I used it twice on pansies, 30 seconds each time, the third time is was lightening storm in my microwave! Make sure you lightly spray the wool sheets with a spray bottle between dryings. Ive dried about 2 dozen flowers now and they all turned out great.

    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

    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.

    It takes a lot of practice. Start with leaves first. Then move to flowers that are not “juicy” - i.e. rose petals, etc. Remember, the people you see using it on YouTube are showing a) their best example and b) they’ve been using it awhile. Your place will smell. Given how expensive the product is and how limited (not for “juicy flowers like sunflower heads), I don’t recommend.

    I love this product so much! What would take weeks only takes a few minutes. Even though it’s more expensive, it’s American made and you can do as many flowers as you like in a day. Other products are capped due to limited space and/or dry times. I bought the largest size and some extra pads. No regrets!

    Greater than one week

    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.

    I purchased this item purely for lack of alternative. My husband and I got married last weekend in a very small civil ceremony (thanks COVID), and the one thing we wanted to do well was saving the bouquet. We found someone on Etsy who could press it into art if we overnighted the flowers while they were fresh. Well, while the florist timed our flowers perfectly for the ceremony, by the next morning when I was going to ship them they were already starting to look tired; when I found out the overnight shipping was going to cost $120, I decided to just order a flower press and do my best. This was the only one amazon had for “delivery by 8am tomorrow.” I hadn’t pressed flowers since elementary school and was skeptical of a microwave method, but decided to give it a chance. I think that, for my skill level (aka, zero skill), this was an exceptional outcome. I was working primarily with very thick flowers (mostly roses, I think some marigold? Etc) and in a traditional press, I think they would have been lost to moisture before being fully pressed. Because the microwave dries the flowers out, there’s no opportunity for moisture damage. I assume you could burn the flowers, but I didn’t have any of mine burn. And, because it works in a matter of minutes, my slightly-wilting flowers actually came out as well as I would have expected for fresh flowers. I’m eager to try this with some fresher flowers and see how that goes, but in the meantime, I’ve attached some pictures. Remember that I have zero experience before this project, so things like folded petals are my own doing. A few quick tips: 1) The instructions encourage you to prep the panels before the first use (spray some water, microwave briefly); the way it’s worded it sounds like it means the first time you use it, but I did it before each day (I pressed across two days due to time constraints). I wonder if this is why I didn’t experience any burning. It only adds 30 seconds to the process, and I suspect it’s what they meant to recommend. 2) I found I could tell whether flowers were dry based on whether there was any moisture on the plastic panels when I opened them. I started with 20 seconds, opened, wiped down panels, let steam out, re-sealed, another 20 seconds, repeat. Eventually I worked down to 10 second bursts as things got close. When the flowers were dry, the panels would no longer have visible moisture when I opened them to wipe. I was repeatedly surprised when moisture kept coming out even though I thought they were done (or close to done)! 3) if you’re dealing with roses or similar, I personally found it best to deconstruct the flower. I did some large petals on their own, to go behind the flower once I arranged it; or I pulled out the center of the rose and pressed that alone on its side, or pressed the outer layers by themselves. I found that most of the thick flowers that I tried to press whole wouldn’t fall flat well, but deconstructed flowers looked whole once finished. This sort of advice is probably already out there if you’re familiar with flower pressing, but I thought I’d mention just in case!

    In the week after my wedding, I wasn’t ready to throw out my bouquet and also had no idea what to do with it. Found this press & starting microwaving the flowers in batches. Love how this turned out. Color maintained and sturdy enough to pin in a shadow box. Pricey, but worth it.

The Microfleur Microwave Flower Press presses flowers. Fast. Leaving you with beautiful, bold colors, and unlimited creative possibilities.

The Max 9" (23 cm) Microfleur microwave flower press is Microfleur"s most wanted press with 81 square inches of pressing space. Flowers, foliage and plants are quickly pressed between two cotton liners, two thick wool pads and two vented platens, all of which are held together by 4 clips. Pressing is done in very short intervals spaced with short resting periods. Flowers can be used the same day and color retention is exceptional, compared with traditional pressing methods. The pressed flowers can then be used for greeting cards, scrapbooking, wedding and other invitations, menus, bookmarks or applied to candles and soap, art and decoupage projects.

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.
