Broken cap press- time to buy something new

[Rockers]

Got my eyes firmly set on the GEO Knight DC16AP incl. the cap attachment.

Looks like a good deal for an air operated heat press and other manufacturers presses are more expensive.
If someone has experience with this particular model please speak now or forever hold your peace.

They are a great company, with very reliable products and support. I have an older Hotronix that I like a lot, but you can't really go wrong with Geo. Knight.

We have the DK7T( dedicated cap press without a bunch of extra features and LOVE it.  I wouldn't hesitate to buy another Geo Knight

I have a Stahls Hotronix Air Fusion that's such a piece of garbage I would feel terrible if I sold it to anyone else.  The only reason we keep it is because you can thread the garments on.

I have both, the Knight is the DK7.
My wife does most of the caps and she prefers the Hotronix.
Much easier to close and has a automatic lift up.
I’ve had my Hotronix for years, the Knight is fairly new.

My Hotronix is one of the older black ones, and yes, it lifts and closes very easily, works great for most of the hats we've encountered, and we use for sleeve transfers as well. Found it on eBay for $250.00

Have two Knight presses, one 16 x 20 swinger and a hat press

The quality is great the support is the best. Never owned any other brand but it is hard to see how another brand could come close.
My only complaint on then hat press is the handle should go straight out or pitch up instead of down like it does otherwise they are tops.
Picture below.
