Ours holds drinks or a radio. We occasionally use it for sleeve prints. It's a single color, single station, so it almost takes up no space.

We have a 6/4 manual and we use it all the time for that matter we have a job set up on it now to keep from pulling screens off the auto, so nope I never toss my manual even if we had a very large shop with 4 or more auto's I'd keep a few manual presses around.

You fell into the gimmicky sales tactics of using it to replace a flash, and inline heat transfers on a press. Both don't work well 100% of the time, for transfers you have to build up your pallets so much it doesn't make sense. To replace as a flash your pallets need to be hot, have a quick flashing under base. But when used in tandem with a flash then you get the best benefit and ease of use. I get not having enough room but I bet that's like 10% or less of your orders you wouldn't have room for it.
I personally think if they had a removable stand to make it easier to move they may get used more, they are such a PITA to move that that's why I personally think they become dust collectors since people are lazy and have one time issues with ink sticking and go nope, doesn't work.
It's a really good tool though if used properly, it does "make your prints better" and works much better than a hot head in my opinion.
