great press really saves me hours a week standing by ironing board

saves me hours a week standing by ironing board

My iron gave me a pay rise

I can't comment on the stand yet as it hasn't arrived yet. I was told right at the start that the stands were out of stock but would follow a week later. The press is so amazing. I am disabled and ironing the 120 meters of material I use every 6 months took me 6 weeks. This time is part of my 'cost of sales' and effects my profit margins. This evening I ironed 20 meters of fabric in 30 minutes. You can fold it behind the board (where the hinge is) but I personally find it easier to fold my fabric in half along the long side, then in half (long side ) again and iron from left to right. It has literally saved my life. The 'cost of sales' has dropped dramatically so I have better profit margins immediately. It's like I bought this and it gave me a pay rise. In fact it's already paid for itself. Heats up fast, is really easy to use and really good at its job. I love it!

Great service!

We had great service with our order, from the dispatching to delivery we were kept informed about the delivery. It was a 5 star service, and I'm very happy with the ironing press so far.

The joys of ironing (not a chore anymore)

My wife suffers from chronic arthritis and finds using her steam iron and ironing board an uncomfortable chore. Since using her new Speedypress Ultra XL Steam Ironing Press plus sturdy Stand, now in it's pride of place conveniently set up permanently in place in the corner of spare bedroom, she finds it a joy to use.

Big helper in small size

Very nice and helpful thing. Ironing now takes up to 10 times less time.

Ultra XL ironing press

Best value for money I've had in a while. Excellent performance!

First time for me owning and using a press. Water compartment is rather small, it's going to take more practice to comfortable do king size bedding. The small free pad could do with being longer. But saying all that it's seems to do the job.

Time saver

If you have arthritis, this ironing press is brilliant. If you're short on time, it's brilliant. If you've never ironed before, it's brilliant. Everything about this press is ease of use so I would recommend to anyone thinking about getting an ironing press to purchase this one.

Pretty good but could be better

I bought this at my wife was convinced it would be great. As I'm a sucker or a new toy I agreed to go along. First the good points: The size is fine, though I wouldn't like to go any smaller and a bit bigger would be nicer. If you tend to leave your ironing board up then this actually takes up less space. It gets rid of creases and is indeed faster than a normal iron. How much faster will depend on the state of your clothes. If they've been scrunched in a ball for a few week then you're going to spend a lot of time trying to flatten it out before you can pull down the lid. It does have a steam function though the pressure and heat mean that it isn't really necessary, at least for anything I've ironed. It takes very little effort or concentration to use so its much easier to watch TV etc than when using a normal iron. The less good points: Slippy clothes tend to slide off and are difficult to hold in place when bring the lid down. It doesn't hold a steady temperature. For example on cotton setting, it heats up to about 200 degrees, but when you use it it drops to to less than 170. The temperature drops even more quickly when you use the steam. It's hot to use. You have a very large metal plate heated to 200 degrees pumping out heat. That may be fine in winter but in some it's going to be unpleasant. The top plate only opens to about 45 degrees so when you are smoothing out a garment, your knuckles are only a few cm away from the hot plate. There's not a lot space at the back in front of the hinge so ironing large items can be tricky. I'm 6ft tall and find the stand a bit low. I might be able to adjust the height but haven't tried yet. If you sew, you can't press open seams on it so budget another 10-15 pounds on a basic dry iron. Despite the problems, I'm glad to have it though next time I might try a larger commercial model.

Halves my ironing time

This is a great machine, easy instructions, you can sit down to iron, fast to get through a large pile of ironing!

Excellent

Bought the large model and it is excellent, heats up quickly and really gets the job done fast. The large model let's me put a good crease in to pants as well. Highly recommended, glad I didn't go with a cheaper unit.

Great machine, great customer service

This is a fantastic board. You do need to purchase the stand. But, the combination stand and board are unbeatable and a must have if you do any ironing at all. Quick to set up, quick to heat and operate, and quick to break down and put away. I was missing the bolts with the stand and informed the seller. He was in constant contact with me to ensure I received the bolts and followed up with me personally to check to see if I was happy with the product. One cannot ask for better customer service. The best thing I like, wow, what a great, sharp crease on my trousers.

Ironing? No problem

Delivered as promised. Easy to commission. A pleasure to use. Impressive results. The reviews were correct and fair for once!

By GM FIELD on 17-Sep-2018

Very good

So far the press has proved very good. I am pressing lots of large bedsheets once you have worked out the best way to fold them you can fly through them.
