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.

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.

Steam Press Fine but....

Steam press works well, gives a nice result. The adjustable stand however is rubbish, lasted all of 30 seconds before gears packed up, did email company, have received no replay.

Exceptionally quick service. Thank you. I will be ordering again.

Fast delivery. Excellent service.Friendly Staff.

Arrived quickly, ( Next Day) Was not the machine I thought it was going to be? I had read online this machine identical to Jaguar 596. Its not. It looks sleek and has all the bells and whistles that is advertised for it. But it was not for me. I liked my friends Jaguar 596 and I explained & exchanged it painlessly.The 404 is really a Fristar& Rossman machine. But not the one I wanted. All in all I am very pleased with the service I get from this company.
