Decent starter product for what has turned into a relaxing hobby for me. The metal bends quite easily but is still functional. I enjoy finding ways to improve the process to make better briquettes (I recommend part-blending a portion of the mix to help it stick together). The briquettes take days to dry, but I should have a decent supply in time for firepit season.

It arrived in good condition but after making 3 logs the press became very warped and the third log didn't seem to be compressed enough. It didn't come with any instructions, so I just soaked some torn up cardboard and paper in water overnight to make the pulp. Also when you are done compressing your log you have to flip the contraption upside down in order to get the water to drain, so don't even plan on mounting it to anything. It is also a lot smaller than I expected-that picture of it sitting next to a stack of newspaper is deceiving. I can't imagine why anyone would give this more than I one star review.

I wouldn’t call it heavy duty. The main frame is quite strong but the long arms to apply pressure for squeezing out the excess water are quite flimsy by comparison. It’s good value for the price but I may order another more expensive model from a different source to try an alternative. Then I’ll be able to give a more considered review. Certainly worth what I paid.

Built well but if you put a lot of pressure on it will distort and bend but easily straightened,make good size bricks and easy to use

Very easy to use. I just fill my kitchen sink with water, add the paper, 15 mins later put it into the machine which I stand on the draining board. Move 2 simple leavers and you have a brick. Leave it somewhere to dry and job done
