Anyone use a steam press for ironing?

RustyFlange

I emailed my partner at work and suggested that I had one of these to make my life easier .... he has now gone and done a search and came across my post on this thread ooops ! lol ... he seems to be cheking out prices etc though and has told me I have to sell things on ebay to raise the money ..... Maybe I should sell all of his xbox games so I can have a press

With us finally getting some nice weather I was able to get loads of washing out on the line and then I plonked it all on the sofa and there was loads but I managed to press it all in less than an hour where it would normally have taken about two hours - and the finish was much more professional!

I got outbid on one of the singer ones last night, have several more on the watch list though

Ah ha... I knew you couldnt resist!

Just bide your time and you'll get one at a good price. You must keep us updated, i'm dying to know how you get on! :T

I'm confused now...not that it takes much lol........I'm looking at buying one on ebay...is it the steam press or the steam (almost steam cleaner) thing people have been having difficulty with? I'm looking at steam presses but I don't want anything that will burn me easily, as chances are I'll be ironing when the children are around...

Anyone still use these, seen a fast press one and am thinking of getting it.

We have a steam generator atm and am wondering would this be a better good for it.

QVC have got a steam press as their today's special vale, which I'm going to buy thanks to this thread! The beauty of QVC is that you have a 30 day money-back guarantee, which gives me a month to iron everything in the house and decide if it's a keeper.

Turning up radiators? How extravagant!

I am still using mine - have had it for at least 4 years now. I still have an iron somewhere for emergencies but I havent seen it for a while.

ETA Erics Mum - the QVC one looks like a good deal to me.
