How do I choose the best embroidery machine for custom apparel production?

I was sitting at home and thinking about garment pressing machines again because my cousin was talking about energy saving models and she said clothing shops want machines that reduce electricity cost but still keep fast finishing during busy production days

I checked Alibaba while scrolling on my phone and searched energy efficient garment pressing machines commercial use comparison and I saw many options like low power steam presses vacuum ironing tables inverter heated systems and automatic finishing units some machines were designed to reduce electricity and steam usage while keeping steady pressing performance while others focused more on high speed production and I also noticed reviews saying energy saving machines help reduce cost over time but sometimes struggle during continuous operation in peak hours and I is trying to understand how clothing businesses balance electricity saving with production speed in real working conditions

Now I feel energy efficient machines are useful but I dont want to think they are always better because speed consistency finishing quality and workload also matter a lot in garment business and I think choosing machine depends on daily demand and production scale rather than just saving electricity

Do you think energy saving garment pressing machines are better for small shops or high speed machines are still more practical for daily operations ?
