Yet again...Another 24 hours of ironing!

 

[merryone]

I think I've tried every ironing solution in the book. Steam press, handheld garment steamer, garment steamer on a stand, steam iron, dry irons, steam generator irons, cordless irons and have never found anything amazing! Actually stopped ironing all together after the last disappointment - an iron so light, I may as well have used a flipflop! However, as my work uniform always looked scruffy without ironing...I Reluctantly bought a new one. I plumped for the cheapest steam iron I could get my hands on and paid £12.99 for a Swan one. I'm being very careful to keep to the instructions, iron things that don't need steam or a lot of heat first, then whack it up high for the more difficult stuff. I'm using filtered water and actually use the self cleaning function - So far so good and I can honestly say I've had far better results with this one than ones that I've spent a fortune on.
The steam generators I've tried have been too bulky to store as I live in a small place, too large to rest on the ironing board, and awkward to use when placed on a nearby work surface...so not gonna be tempted. I should imagine it'll still be well over £100 when it's the tsv. My iron does a fair old bit of ironing on a full tank..so no need for this one. I've also found in my small place that a generator creates a very humid atomosphere as well and I end up having to wipe down all the condensation afterward. Might think differently if I had a lovely big utility room!

I’ve had steam generators since then first came on the market, some more successful than others and I have spent over £500 on some - I know, I know, but I had a lot of ironing of sharp suits for both of us and I hated it so Mr L insisted on trying to ease my load.

My current one is a Phillips which doesnt have any settings at all and it really does work, it doesn’t stick or burn although you can’t turn it up as it decides which temperature it needs to be.

Now that Mr L is retired and I semi I don’t do nearly as much ironing as I did so if this goes belly up it will be a basic steam iron.

There is no doubt that they are a PITB to store and place where you are ironing as they don’t sit on a board.

We have had a few Steam Generator irons too, I would not go back to ordinary irons. We have just bought a new Phillips one, that sounds similar to yours.

Grovesy I’ve had this present one for several years and haven’t had any spotting which is the biggest problem with irons in general as there is nothing more disheartening than washing and ironing something only to find near the end those rusty residue go all over it.

If I had one piece of advice to anyone not used to a SG I would say look at how the internal part is cleaned as you need to be sure there is no the calcium build up and some models don’t take this into consideration.

Thank you the spitting has been a problem with our current one, and very frequently need cleaning. My first was a Domena and I had to buy anti calc cartridges which you put into the water tank, and worked very well.

I didn’t rate Tefal who were the first nearly 20 years ago, my first one packed up after a couple of months and the second wasn’t much better.

It think the worst ironing solution I tried has got to be the steam press...It weighed an absolute ton, I had to put it on my dining table to be able to use it...The water tank was tiny and awkward to get in and out, in fact all ironing was awkward 'cause fabric used to get caught up round the back and was getting creased as soon as it got ironed, I managed to burn myself on it..total disaster. So I donated it to charity. I then tried a handheld garment steamer which held about a thimble full of water..which despite holding so little, did nothing other than produce a wisp of steam and sprayed water all over my clean clothes. Tried a larger model on a stand with more oomph...only it was back breaking work and sprayed water everywhere. If the cheapo I've got lets me down..hopefully it won't...I'll try one of those "one temperature does all ones" and if that fails...I'll go back to no ironing and will have to put up with a creased work uniform!

Like you Merryone, I've had all manor of devices. For me the best I ever had was a Karcher steam device with cleaner attachment, purchased from QVC of course, it was an excellent steam cleaning device too. So many on these very forums talked about how good they were and they were! Perfect for a set of 3 kids going through school uniforms and hubbys daily shirts, such a bind, Now I too have a cheap steam and it suits for what I need it for. Yes I had a press on too and returned it --so many burns and wires were exposed in the lid if I remember right, as in inbetween plate and housing, sure it was a fault, QVC again.

I’ve always thought that those steam press ones only do flat items and therefore really on,y good for care homes, B&B etc. where the majority of items are bed clothes and towels

Yes absolutely useless in a non-commercial environment, unless you happen to live in a place with a large utility room with space to put the thing a proper stand to put it on so the ironed bits can hang down freely and not get bunched up on the table behind and get creased back up again.
In my ignorance I didn't think of this I thought that a shirt would be as simple as ..put it on the board, put sleeve in, press down - done and repeat for the other bits so in about 5 quick presses..ready to go. Trousers - one maybe two presses per side. Firstly the ironing surface was too narrow to accommodate an entire shirt back, so as you press the first bit, move onto the next bit and watch the first bit go back to square one - It was soul destroying.
My other thought was it would be literally a one transaction job...no more getting the ironing board out of the cupboard, getting the iron, putting the board up...This was worse get the press from under the bed..so bend down drag it out, pick it up (breaking your back in the process) putting it on the table, then finding the cable doesn't reach the plug point so grabbing an extension cable..then having the choice of only one room in which to use it...the one with the big table in it..One of the worse things I ever bought!

When I met Mr V he had a lady who came in to do his cleaning and his ironing and she insisted he got her a generator iron. When I moved in I hated the ****** thing and stuck to my ever faithful ancient steam iron and still use it to this day.
Mind you once the machine in the video below is affordable and widely available then I reckon I could retire my ancient steam iron to the laundry in the sky AKA local tip. I would love an EFFIE like the video below especially as Mr V wears a freshly ironed shirt every day of the week.

I've got a Philips one I bought from IW and I got a "free" ironing board with it. Think it was £99 but might have been a bit more. I love it. Can't stand ironing but this constant steam things breezes through the bedding and Mr CC even does all his own shirt. If I didn't already have a SG iron I would be very interested in this.

Wow! I could go for an Effie too Vienna...especially if it changes the bedding and put out the bins too. Mr Akimbo would be redundant!
