HOMETRONIX Electronic Steam Iron Press 63 cm 1600 Watt 38 Jet Stream

My old iron broke about a month ago, and I couldn’t decide between this press and a Vaporella. In the end, I went with this one, and I’m glad I did — it has probably halved my ironing time and is getting easier and easier to use as I get used to it. It has different settings for different types of clothes, which I thought would be confusing at first but actually makes ironing quick and straightforward once you get the hang of it. I can’t really comment on the steam function as I’ve barely used it — I tried once and ended up marking clothes (probably my error). A few tips: I’d recommend using deionised water to avoid limescale issues, and you may want a proper stand for the press, as using it on a standard ironing board feels a bit too low for comfort. Also, be very careful with hand placement as the press gets extremely hot and can burn easily. Overall, I would definitely recommend this over a standard iron for household use, especially at this price point — it makes ironing much faster and more efficient.

Probably the best thing I have ever bought. Ironing is a pleasure now instead of a chore. Even shirts can be ironed. Approach it differently by folding items before starting and you’ll be done in no time.

Very nice and work very well

This is a simple to use, decent quality item (and significantly cheaper than other brands of the same type of product). Push-button settings for the heat levels with visual readiness indicators. Audible notification when to raise the press (to avoid burning items). Only issue to be aware of (hence 4-star rating), is that the the press only opens to about (and probable just less than) 45-degrees. That means when trying lay and straighten items toward the back of the press, I keep catching my knuckles on the heated press! That said, it’s a design issue that appears to be common to similar items, so whichever brand you choose, it might be worth wearing gloves!

After having my last one for many years. This one is easy to use . For the cost it is grest

Absolutely brilliant little press. Really good for bedding.

Great value for money, the ironing time, and the ease of which it could be moved were all positives. The only downside for ourselves was the amount of cardboard used, surely one box would have been enough for protection during transit.

I am so disappointed with this ironing press. Yes, it does have a wider than average surface BUT this limits how high the top plate can rise. I am suffering from burnt knuckles from trying to push items through. It's struggle to press single sheets, and duvet covers won't fit at all. I really regret having purchased this item.!
