Practice, practice, practice

Certainly looked a lot easier to use in the video compared with the reality of using it yourself. You need to master the techniques for all the various garments and just practice, practice, practice. Probably worth five stars when I master it.

Need to practice

Love the results, just need to remember to use just one hand as it's so easy to press the steam buttons accidentally. Had a steam iron for years best and quickest way to iron anything, thanks.

Steam press

Like: Easy to use cuts down on ironing time. Dislike: quite heavy

By mrs anne-marie hamill on 13-Oct-2016


Recommended

Excellent press for my purposes, with normal iron style adjustment. I find it easy to use with good sized water reservoir and not too bulky or heavy.

The best!

This is simply the best item i have ever purchased. Easy to use and quick and i cannot now imagine being without one now.

Cut down ironing time.

It has cut the ironing time. The only thing I would have changed is the size as this size does not quite fit the full width of the polo shirts.

You need a strong back for this one

I bought his item last year mainly because I have a problem with my back and cannot stand for too long. It takes some getting used to and how best to feed clothes into it such as trousers and fiddly things like blouses. My main problem is the weight. It weighs 15kg and is quite difficult for me to manage on my own. Would be perfect if you had a utility room where it could be left on the work surface all the time. I did have some problems with it when it wouldn't heat up. I spoke to the distributor and they tried to advise me on the phone and having tried all their suggestions without success, they arranged to collect and return ASAP. They did this very quickly, but I have no idea what was wrong with it as I didn't hear from them again.

Thoroughly recommended.

A real time saver and a neat product. Thoroughly recommended.

Great!

Great job so much easier than using an ordinary iron. Doesn"t seem like work. Takes a few minutes to heat up and quite heavy too lift but apart from that great.

A press for everyone

This is an excellent product. It is robust yet very attractive. It is simple to operate and does everything what one might want of a press. Locate at work bench height and it is comfortable to operate.

By J. Smed on 07-Mar-2015


easy to use

Does what it says on the tin, easy to use, fantastic results

By Stephen Skwarnecki on 13-Jan-2015


Greatly reduces ironing time

This has proved a great benefit during the b&b season, reducing my ironing time. Wish it was a bit wider, but it has been easy to get to know and use.

By Helen Stephenson on 12-Jan-2015


Works a treat

Nice iron takes a while to get how to use it but once you do it's great

By Mr. J. Pacey on 02-Nov-2014


Would buy this again / recommend to a friend

I haven't had this long but it compares very favourably with my previous machine. Good, sturdy quality. Works perfectly so far.

By Yvonne Attridge-Hall on 15-Oct-2014


Handy

This is a very handy little machine. My only complaint, it takes a lot of practice to get it right, but I suppose that's to be expected! If it could be simplified I'd give it the fifth star.

By Ronald Maxwell on 14-Oct-2014


excellent

Fantastic would not be without it now, Delivery was quick, it came the next day, cannot fault anything, would recommend to others no problem.

By Christine Davies on 06-Oct-2014


Great purchase

Really effective, dramatically reduces ironing time and makes a lovely job. I still iron shirts with the traditional iron and board but otherwise everything goes through the fast press. I have superkingsize bedding which has been a major pain to iron, with the fast press its done in under a minute.

By Caroline MacDonald on 21-Jul-2014


My new hobby - IRONING!

How I wish I had bought this years ago - ironing has become easier and even fun. Items like bed linen - fitted sheets, pillowcases and even king-size duvet covers receive a thorough ironing and look so much better than with an ordinary steam iron. The only problem I have is the weight but overall this apparatus is well worth the money.

By C. A. Picken on 14-Jul-2014


Love it!

I hate ironing. In fact I hate it that much for every six things I iron I have a glass of wine. After 24 things I don't care what it looks like. Action had to be taken. First of all. Delivery fantastic. Emailed a week in advance and said I was only home the following Tuesday. They replied within 2 hours guaranteeing delivery on that day and they were right it arrived while I was home. Secondly instructions are readable and understandable. Set it up tonight and in 15 minutes I ironed 12 pillowcases, four sheets and 2 duvet covers. Am well impressed. Bad points I only managed one glass of wine.

FAST PRESS STEAM IRON

I spent a long time going through all the reviews for iron presses to try to find the "right one for me". I even spoke to the distributor about some things not mentioned in the product information. They recommended this model as they thought it would be best since I do quite a lot of ironing (more than average apparently). Found out that most Iron presses come from China - this one is German and is what sold it to me as the after sales service is apparently so much better than the others. A point worth mentioning. I am still getting used to using it - it does take time to work out the best way to move the items about especially things with curved edges like sleeves etc. Double size and bigger Sheets and duvet covers are quite tricky as you have to feed them to the back of the machine and pull them towards you as you press. The DVD and instructions recommend that "4 layers" are the maximum for best results, so with sheets & duvets you can either fold into four or two whichever suits best but you will need to turn it round or over to do the other edge. Any creases in the material will be pressed in, so it pays to spend a bit of time folding properly. The item is quite heavy (14kg net wt.) which is a bit of a problem for me as I have a bad back which is the main reason for getting an iron press, so that I wouldn't have to stand for too long. I can now sit down to iron which is a real bonus. Great for ironing T-shirts, tops, skirts, even jeans, but you definitely need the steam for those. The steam only works on the maximum heat settings, but you can always spray the item with water first - it comes with a spray. They recommend you use distilled water or bottled water (especially in hard water areas) but you can also used boiled, cooled water from the kettle. Filling is a bit tricky - they supply a funnel which is supposed to stop overflow when filling, but it didn't work for me. You just have to be careful not to overfill, but as there is no water level indicator, it is difficult to judge. There is no stand for this model - you need a sturdy table or worktop. Also supplied are a spare cover and foam. Overall, I am quite pleased with the item and I think that once I am more used to using it, I would not be without it.

Ironing is a breeze

This was quite a bit more expensive than the press I have used for the last 8 years. Having read the reviews I decided to buy it as it addressed some of the short comings of the cheaper press that needed replacing. This is certainly a lot better quality both in the buils and operation. The stream is very efficient and I have noticed clothes are less likely to wrinkle with this machine and there is more room at the hinge side for bulky items such as sheets.

What a turn up for the books!!!

My wife bought this product so I can't say first hand much about it but all I can say is that she is a much happier person now,with a lot more time on her hands to attend to my urgent needs! (like cooking cakes etc). Goes round muttering about how she wished she'd bought this thing ages ago. She had reservations of course, particularly when I unpacked it. It was smaller than both of us had imagined but after looking at it for a couple of days she decided to fill her up! and try her out! Well after a morning's ironing she packed it up and was finished. Big smile on her beautiful face. Worth the money ten times over! Tatian's husband

Much faster than an Iron

This is a very speedy press. Follow the instructions and spray the items damp, they come out great. Obviously heavier to carry than an Iron, once in place you don't have to worry about the moving cable as attached to the moving Iron because once in place and heated the items are completed (particularly large items) much quicker. The Press Arm is balanced so people with weak arms are not at a disadvantage.

By Pauls on 12-Jun-2013


Wished she had one earlier

My wife was finding ironing time consuming and standing for so long was affecting her health. Easy to operate and relatively light.

Easy Ironing again!

For several years, we had a Domena press, with which we were very happy. When it finally went to the great laundry in the sky, we needed a replacement. The first one we tried was a disaster. A very narrow throat (no sheets!) and a small opening angle (very badly burned hands). So we sent that back and bought this. It's quite expensive, but after the burning we were prepared to spend more. So glad we did. This is, if anything, even easier than the Domena to use and produces better results. Plenty of room for sheets at the back and not a burned finger in sight. Warning :- don't over-fill the water chamber - unless you want a facial sauna - as the steam becomes a bit violent. However, once it calms down, the ironing is a breeze. You can have steam or no steam, there is a water/spray bottle provided and two pads for sleeves etc. There's also a special funnel for filling and spare rubbers for the water chamber, should they be needed. The soleplate is an ideal size for shirts and you can do a huge area of a sheet in one go. There's a DVD of how to iron for those who have never used one before because it takes a different technique than an iron (as we found out in the interregnum!). Don't think about the cost, think about the benefits! Highly recommended.
