Must purchase.

Where to begin so I purchased a 16 x 20 press after doing my research I knew this was the press for me! However after receiving the press it was not working. After phone calls I finally was able to get into with their customer service manager. After our conversation he didn't make any excuses and tried to deflect anything took full responsibility and made it right which is very rare nowadays! They went from never having my business again to earning it the right way! Thank you and PS the press is a amazing press for the price!
