    I LOVEEEEEEE this flower press! It works amazing. I was able to press all different kinds of flowers! Even wild flowers I picked off the side of the road! What used to take me forever. Like WEEKS now takes me only seconds! Save so much time and is a great value for the money spent!! Highly recommend! Also suggest watching YouTube!!

    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!!!

    There is definitely a learning curve to this product. People who have issues with items burning are probably using thicker, more wet flowers - in which case I have found shorter continual bursts to work. Ive also found that certain flowers press differently at different positions on the board. Items around the perimeter, and not directly under the vent holes do better. And items in the dead center tend to take much longer so ive begun to avoid that area altogether. Highly recommend though.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    The Microfleur works really well, but there is definitely a learning curve to this product. I worked mostly with wet, petal-heavy flowers like roses, ranunculus, and peonies from my bridal bouquet. If youre working with these flowers, and you want to dry them face up, I recommend stripping some petals off the backs of the flower heads. Theyll dry flatter and wont get gummy. The instructions say to only heat the flowers for 20 seconds once, but with roses, ranunculus, and peonies, I recommend a few rounds of 20 seconds before doing 10-second bursts. I didnt have problems with the pads or cotton burning since the flowers had so much moisture. I also recommend opening the device and wiping down the moisture on the inside of the panels after each 10- or 20-second burst. I used eyelash tweezers to move the dried flowers. It takes patience, but its well worth it!

    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!

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. It is the ultimate flower press and is commonly used by oshibana and other artists, as well as by botanists.

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.
