Aboofx Microwave Flower Press Review & Comparison With Microfleur - Which Is Better ?!? 

Thank you so much. I just bought the Aboofx and found your video while looking for visuals on using it. You were awesome helping me out sooo thank you

Thank you for your interest in our products and for sharing your experiences~

I've got the child version, different brand. It worked great. Then I got a new microwave, same spec, more efficient, and it burned a hole thru the cotton. It too is square with tiny holes. This one is obviously better, the larger holes will make the difference. Thank you fot sharing this, it's very helpful! Mx

I just got one of them and I need to learn something about it. You were a great help

This is a very informative video, Nina. You appear to have given both presses a fair go and then you shared the results along with your experiences of using them. I sometimes microwave flowers and do it between two regular plain white everyday dinner plates with greaseproof paper padded with kitchen towel (to absorb the moisture) above and below. I've found that that works well too. Many thanks.

This is very cool tfs Nina, your flowers came out lovely...Kia Kaha...

Thank you ! This is video is so welcome to me! I was pressing my flowers the other day and wondering if anyone was going to do a video on flower pressing! Now I want to see if anyone will be incorporating dried flowers in an cards or journals! ❤️

Thank you! Very helpful video!

Great comparison video Nina, you got stunning results with your flowers. I look forward to seeing more put in your journals. Take care of yourself in the heat and hopefully it will cool off soon.💕

Thanks so much, Nina! Very informative. I think I’ll give it a try. I live in the southern US where summers are HOT and HUMID. Humid does not mean rain, though! We’ve finally had some decent rain and our lawns and gardens are looking happier, at least for now.

Thanks Nina. I did order and use the aboofx wooden press and it seems to work just great. This one gives more immediate results which is really nice for impatient people like me.

I was hesitant about this idea, but I think your flowers turned out beautifully!

I’ve had the larger microfluer for years and never had a problem with it. It does rotate in my microwave and I use it in short bursts too. I’ll continue to use it but the new one you have does seem like a better option if anyone is shopping for one now. Thanks for all the info!

I like the first one you did; the ones with the belts that you had to let sit for 3 or 4 days.

Hi Nina 😁 I saw this on amazon & was wondering how well it worked…. So happy to see this review/tutorial!

I ordered the wooden press you reviewed an very happy with it.Microwave looks quick but like the fact on wooden one that I put all my flowers in it an left it for a week an they turned out beautiful. Thanks for both reviews.

Perfect timing. I have been thinking of getting a microwave flower press for some time. Have now left a subtle hint to my son should he want to get me anything for my upcoming birthday. Just found your channel so I’m enjoying catching up with past videos. Keep up the good work. X

Thank you Nina, what a great video. I found your comparison very interesting. I've never seen daisies that big, they're so pretty. I love your tutorials they're always very inspiring. Have a great weekend (I think the weather is going to be a bit cooler? It always goes downhill when the children break up from school doesn't unfortunately). Take care, Val. xx

Seems like a great flower press. 🌼

What a great video! Thank you. I’ve never heard of a microwave flower press before. All your videos are so informative 👏👏👏

I had rigged my own system. Things were going ok but then there was some small flamage and I was turned off from that for awhile now. Definitely keep an eye out-while it was working it was great for some but not all flowers. Just my experience! Edit: The smell also became…biological is the only word I can think of. Thank you so much for reviewing this.

Thanks so much for this review. I had no idea this was even available and I’m eager to give this a try!

Wow Miss Nina Thanks for this video! I had NO CONFIDENCE that you were going to get smashing dried flowers from a microwave and you showed exactly how to get STUNNING results from the Aboofx microwave flower press! Take the Microfluer one and use the outer side of the two plastic sides for a mark maker on your gel press! ❤️

Thank you so much Nina, I really really enjoyed listening to you and watching you press those flowers. I have the Microfleur press, and I’ve got to agree, one it takes longer and there is the danger of burning the pads etc..I certainly like the look of the Aboo press, and might invest in one. You did a brilliant review of this, no one could have been more honest than you are. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

Thank you SO MUCH for such a detailed, informative vid! I ordered one straight away. Got the 6” from Amazon: only $19.99 USD. Can’t wait to start pressing & nuking! 👍🏼

Thank you Nina great video and lots of good advice. Your tags came out looking lovely, just love lavender. Keep hydrating!!!! Have a great weekend

This was a wonderful review. Your tags are stunning. TFS. 🙏💌. Try to stay cool and hydrated!

Thankyou so much for your review so helpful I am so enjoying my wild flower container to paint press and more the microflower press a bit out of my pocket range. But if I see a secondhand one or family gift me one lol I am well prepared and informed ❤ Thankyou excellent video xxhappy crafting (ps pouring with rain in Cheshire tonight 😅)❤😻

Thank you for doing this❣️🇺🇸 I think I will give it a go❣️ I live in North Texas USA and we are in a crippling heatwave ,days of 105 to 111. No rain. Sounds like your part of the world is much the same❤️❤️

I didn’t even know a microwave flower press existed!! Amazing results! xx

Brilliant review, really helpful, many thanks 😊 👍

I absolutely love my Microfleur and have had no problems with it at all. You do want to use short bursts as well. I think it may need to rotate and just didn't fit in your microwave well. The Microfleur would fit more flowers at a time as it has more room than the aboofx. I do find it interesting that parts of the aboofx manual is word for word with the Microfleur, for example, the priming instructions.

Hello nina, like in the UK we felt like the flowers in the microwave the last two days. It was really, really hot. People are so inventive, always looking for new ways to do things. It worked well, anyway one of the presses. Since I have no microwave, I will stick to drying in books. Sometimes I open a book and flowers fall out, very vety dry( ha ha)forgotten flowers...More romantic, but the microwave very effective. Love and hugs lenaxxx

If I had the Microfluer I would buy or borrow a drill attachment for drilling holes (they come in various sizes) and drill larger holes in the plastic. Even a drill bit could be used to enlarge the holes with a little sanding to smooth the edges.

Wow they look ready good. Amazing what can do now. I t look like I be asking for one thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the comparison!

Wow you was lucky by the looks of your old one! 😮‍💨💜🧚‍♀️

Great review. Thanks so much.

Thanks for the review. So helpful.

Thank you so very much for this very specific and informative review! It has helped me immensely. I appreciate you showing a demonstration of how beautifully you used the flowers as well. May I ask if the flowers discolor over time at all? Especially if you notice white flowers? I wasn’t sure if over time they would turn brown. If someone has asked this same question already and it’s been answered, forgive me for not seeing it yet. Thank you in advice for the reply.🙏🏻🙂

Thanks for this. Lovely flowers. Your white ones aren’t cow parsley, they are yarrow, achillea milleflora. Very powerful medicine. If it’s in your garden, you must treasure it. 😊

Helpful review. Thanks!

I think this adult would def need supervision 🙈😂.I wish they would get the other one you reviewed back in stock! X

Hello I loved this video. I've got a bridesmaid bouquet and I want to press and frame some of the flowers so I have one of these on the way as we speak thanks to your video. Can't wait to do them. Can I ask for the link of them stickers you got please I love them!!

Hello Nina, what a treat to find your channel, I love it. I have a question about the rest times between the microwave bursts. Do you take the press out of the microwave and open it, or just let it sit on the counter, and for how long do you let it rest before the next burst?

Lovely flowers dry flowers.

Thank you for this review. On your tags are you going to seal them with the deli paper?

I really love your videos. Would you be able to put a link to the little flower vases from Amazon in as I don’t know what to search for to find them?

I bought a microwave oven from my local thrift shop for $25 dedicated solely to pressing flowers. I had dried some leaves in my regular kitchen microwave and then warmed tea afterward and my tea was bitter! So I thought I’d get a second hand one that I keep on my work bench in the garage.

Beautiful tags. How do you store your dried flowers?

looks cool. Do the colors stay or fade away in time?

If you burn the pad can you still use it? Is there a way to salvage the pad? I have a quarter size burn mark in the center of each pad.

Were the microwave bursts on full power? X

Do you still use your wooden press?

Woops a daisy! Yes it is😂

I ordered this press and just received this message from them, thought you might be interested. "Aboofx Microwave Flower Press the Operation Manual： We re-tested the heating time of the microwave flower press kit, 15 seconds may be a better choice. Due to the difference in the power of the microwave, reducing heating time can avoid the temperature too high to burn the plants, lining cloth, and the wool felt pad. Note: Lightly moistening the wool pad can be suggested, and you need to control the amount of water, a little will be OK. After putting it in the microwave oven, adjust the power level to the minimum position. After heating for 15 seconds, touch the pressure plate with your hand. If it is not hot, increase the power level to continue heating for 15 seconds and then check; If it is not very hot, continue to increase the power level to gear and heat for 15 seconds; until you touch the pressure plate and feel hot, keep this power level; Use this power to heat for 15 seconds, take out the plants and wait for them to cool before putting them in a microwave oven to heat them, and repeat until the plants are dry. If you have any other questions, please contact us. Thanks Angela Aboofx Customer Service Team"
