Vacuum Table Review

I'd been contemplating one of these for a few months and finally decided last week to order one. Arrived quickly and simple to put up, was advertised as suitable for right and left handers. I am a left handed person and certainly I can operate the vacuum/iron as I would normally. However, the vacuum is obviously positioned underneath the table and it vents out the sucked through steam on to my midriff! Not a problem for right handed people as you'd be standing on the other side of the table but not great for me. It's also an extremely heavy piece of kit, very sturdy, the table does not "travel" out of it's position which is good. The vacuum itself is not as strong as I was expecting but nevertheless is still good. It's not too noisy either. I love the way this table handles bedding, gives a really good finish, as it does with t shirts, trousers etc. I am still finding it tricky to iron the yoke of a shirt on the end of the table in a traditional way, since pressing the vacuum pedal with my right foot for anything else (as I am staying in one position) requires a change to my left foot as otherwise I wouldn't be able to reach the end of the table easily. I am trying hard to relearn and undo 11 years worth of professional ironing of shirts to a new way, using the vacuum table. Overall I think it is a good addition to our equipment for our ironing service and with practice I'll get back to ironing a shirt in less than a minute and half but it will take time to learn to get the best out of the table. Would I buy it again knowing what I know now? Yes, and learn to be patient to get the hang of it ;)

Ironing Press Company is crap

I've emailed Ironing Press Company twice since they supplied this item because there's a fault with a part, and I asked them to send me a replacement. They have ignored my emails and keep sending me a review request. I held off completing this review initially because I wanted to give them a chance to rectify the fault first. As they have ignored my they can received this rocket. If they don't respond after this I'll be taking them to the Small Claims Court.

wish I had invested in this table earlier

I can't believe the difference this table has made to my ironing, you can really tell the difference on the ironing over a regular ironing board and it really saves time

Great purchase

Well made, very effective powerful vacuum and heated ironing board which gives a superb professional finish to all clothing alterations and repairs, really helpful to us the fact that the pedal works on both sides so it can be used by a left and right handed person

Highly recommend this

A real must for ironing large items, bedding, sheets and table linen, had it only a month and already noticed how it has reduced ironing time!

By Eva Huntly on 19-Mar-2017

Expensive but worth it

Beautiful results, can really see the difference, thanks

Powerful, consistent, worth the money

Both the table and iron iron are excellent so much better then any household iron and table and I would not consider another. The steam is powerful and consistent, iron is sturdy and has a nice weight whilst not being too heavy.

Fantastic purchase

Speeds up ironing considerably!

Great

Amazing results, very quick ironing. Very quick delivery despite the fact that we're based in the woods in a remote location in Ireland!!

Professional system

Heavy duty, durable machine. Being height-adjustable and made to be used both right-handed and left-handed means it's suitable for all of our staff.

I'm a convert to ironing...

Well made and sturdy. Takes a bit of time to reach full heat, and also to cool down again for storage, but it's actually fun to use, so I'm bothering to do sheets and pillow cases. I haven't used my normal iron since purchasing this - I rarely did much ironing anyway. Now I'm still on the honeymoon period of trying to anything any clothing to see how much flatter and easier to store it is. I've had it for about a month. I don't quite get the point of the metal rack though. It doesn't seem sturdy/ well supported enough to pile the completed washing on and is a bit fiddly, so I haven't bothered with it.

Delighted

This was to replace a different make. I'm so happy with it. Glad I got the 80cm one. Great for linen. The stand foit-print is quite large but it is very sturdy. No complaints. Pressing happy!

Great Quality

Great quality item at a great price. Excellent service from the Ironing Press. Very fast delivery. Will be purchasing again.

Ironing press review

Have had several presses over the years and this being the largest and most efficient so far, ease of functions and large plate for ironing makes for light work.

By Jacqueline Pryde on 10-Feb-2019

Received my items very quickly. Thanks.

By Elizabeth Walker on 09-Feb-2019

Wow! Great work so far.

So far so good, Wow! The steam surge nearly lifts you off your feet and steams up my specs. The results on the items being pressed are equally good.

By Anne Amedro on 05-Feb-2019

Wow! Great work so far.

By Anne Amedro on 05-Feb-2019

Still learning all about its features

Seems to be a very well designed and well built Overlocker. Bought it because my service engineer recommended it and because it is much easier to thread with the whole threading mechanism open. Seems to sew well but only time will tell how robust it is.

Brilliant service

Thank you for my order of the stretch sewing machine needles. The free needle threaders are great. Thank you

Can’t live without one!

Absolutely love my new press. I had two baskets completely full of ironing included three duvet sets! My old press did not have a stand and I struggled to find somewhere to use it without causing backache! So impressed I’m considering treating my daughter (she has four children and her ironing is endless). Must also mention the superb delivery - I ordered on Sunday and it arrived on Tuesday morning - couldn’t be more pleased.
