Viper Report post Posted July 5, 2006 As some of you know I have medical problems that involve my limbs aching when I use them for periods of time. One of the things I find very difficult is ironing. With 6 people in my house we seem to get an awful lot of it. We needed a new iron (the 4th one in about 6 years) and a new ironing board. When I looked at the prices of a decent iron and board I realised I could probably get a steam press for about the same price. I used to work in a well known dry cleaners so I know how to use one. It really isn't hard and something anyone can use. It even comes with a video. Anyway it arrived today and it cuts ironing time in half. It also helps with my medical problems. I would recommend one to everyone if you are thinking of buying a new iron. It cost me ?156.00 and is worth every penny. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Viper thanks for sharing this with us, please can you tell me which one you purchased,..... I have been looking for one for a while as my sister bought one a couple of years ago it was ?500 and I didn't want to spend that much on one. Did you look around at different models, you probably knew what you were looking for if you have worked in a dry cleaners many thanks S* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
