Greater than one weekReally enjoy using this, I dry flowers a lot so I do wish the bigger size was bigger but then I dont know if it would fit in the microwave. Easy to use, instructions straightforward. Note: you cant use too thick of material or else the clamps will not secure onto the square. You also just have to do some trial and error with your personal microwave and find out what flowers need certain drying times. I would 100% buy again, love using this tool for drying flowers!

> 3 dayI bought this to preserve flowers from my sons funeral. Until I watched a few YouTube videos I never knew this product existed. Ive always dried them the old fashioned way of squishing them in a book and waiting and waiting and waiting. This allowed me to dry flowers in under 30 minutes. I then put them in silicone molds filled with epoxy so I have an item I can cherish forever

> 3 dayThe Microfleur works really well, but there is definitely a learning curve to this product. I worked mostly with wet, petal-heavy flowers like roses, ranunculus, and peonies from my bridal bouquet. If youre working with these flowers, and you want to dry them face up, I recommend stripping some petals off the backs of the flower heads. Theyll dry flatter and wont get gummy. The instructions say to only heat the flowers for 20 seconds once, but with roses, ranunculus, and peonies, I recommend a few rounds of 20 seconds before doing 10-second bursts. I didnt have problems with the pads or cotton burning since the flowers had so much moisture. I also recommend opening the device and wiping down the moisture on the inside of the panels after each 10- or 20-second burst. I used eyelash tweezers to move the dried flowers. It takes patience, but its well worth it!

> 3 dayThis is my second press. Not because the first one broke... because I love it so much! It drys out the flowers and leaves so quickly and the flowers retain their colors!!! Now I can do double the amount of flowers. Just remember to spray down the linen sheets before each use. It keeps the wool pads moist and it keeps the flowers from burning. This is a great investment if you want pressed flowers in minutes instead of weeks with the traditional flower press. For the cons, (which isn’t really bad) the wool pads kind of have a funky odor when microwaving the flowers. Not the worst smell I’ve ever smelled though. Also, you have to wipe your microwave out after you press the flowers in there so you don’t get residue from the flower/herbs/ leaves on your food. Other than that, that’s really a great product.

> 3 dayIt is very very easy to use. In addition to reading some of the helpful reviews, I watched some videos on YouTube by ArtsyMadWoman. Her videos are helpful and entertaining. This press has been a lot of fun and has produced some stunning results. A+++

> 3 dayI dried my first flowers and they turned out so pretty that I framed them. They dried in about 10 seconds. It is easy to over dry them so follow instructions and go a few seconds at a time.

Greater than one weekIt works- you have to microwave it a couple times and figure out what works but the smell it gives off is fowl. I had to literally open the windows because it smelled so bad. I guess that’s what happens when you microwave flowers and the misrule out of them but I’m disappointed no one mentioned this to me before!!!

> 3 dayI was totally surprised at how easy this was to use and how the colors of the flowers stayed true to the freshly picked blooms.
