Steam Iron Press Models For Home Use
A steam iron press can save you a great deal of time ironing wrinkly clothes. The greatest benefit is the size of the ironing area: the largest presses have an area 34" by 11". This is quite large when compared to the average handheld iron's smaller 6" x 4" dimensions. That's seven times the ironing area, making for quicker work.
It may be a surprise that a steam iron press looks like your typical ironing board, though it has a lid and handle on the top. This is your ironing surface, and the press acts is your iron. These can be found at every dry cleaner's, and now they are available for your home. Typically a dry cleaner needs to press hundreds of clothing items a day, so this type of iron is necessary. Using this type of press saves enormous amounts of time, as you can fit one whole pant leg on the press at once, then just close the lid. Instantly ironed clothes.
Different manufacturers offer varying safety features, but all models come standard with a basic shut-off after a certain amount of time. This works even if the lid is left idle while opened or closed. Another safety feature to look for would be a locking lid to keep children from getting their little hands in the press.
If you don't want steam, you can get an iron press that is electrically powered as well. This kind of press uses extremely hot heating pads as opposed to steam. However, some models do come with a steam spray function, which is a necessity if your press is just an electronic heat pad.
Pricing can range from around $100 to well over $300. This depends on the size of the unit, as well as whether it comes with a stand, and the type of heating pad it utilizes.
Some of these presses are easy alternatives to your old traditional iron, while other units may only be good enough to do shirts and other easy-to-iron items. Overall, the best benefit to a steam iron press is that it will save you time, not make your ironing that much easier.
Anyone who has to head to the dry cleaners each week and have their clothes professionally pressed for $3-8 a piece, the press quickly pays for itself after a few months. Money might not be as free-flowing these days, so the initial costs might seem high, but it costs much more to go to the dry cleaner's each week.
