I would have to say that amazon gave me a good deal and immediate delivery.

Unfortunatly i had to return this item . I havent been satisfied because the heating element heats up on the top rather than where it has to heat up. After ironing I could still see a lot of creases. They dont mention about the base being a wood plank either.
I have used a Simplicity machine earlier and hence i know the quality of steam press but this machine is a waste of time and money. I would rather buy a normal iron to this or pay extra and buy a better one. But this is just my opinion.

This was an impulse purchase for me and I was worried I'd have buyers remorse. As it turned out I am extremely thrilled with this press. For my needs it is perfect. I just zipped through a huge laundry basket of cloth napkins and dish towels that would have taken me about 5 times longer to iron. The day the iron arrived I ironed a huge load of t-shirts and other items that would have taken me a week to get through.

It is compact and well made. Because it doesn't emit steam it is very useful for various craft projects like embossing on velvet. The spray bottle that was included is handy when steam is needed.

Review Update:

I found the same item at the same price with FREE shipping at(...)Amazon site:
(...)
That is a savings of around $19.00 in shipping charges.

Although this other site indicates it is a steam press, I do not believe it is. It comes with a spray bottle and a travel iron just like this offer.

I received the press today. Considering the low price, I found the press very useful. The time it takes to reach temperature is just a few minutes, it's super easy to use, and it doesn't take up a huge amount of room on my sewing table. I pressed denim shorts, ribbons, and even a very wrinkled t-shirt successfully. The press is small so I can easily move it out of the way when I need more space. I am happy with it!

I considered buying it based on Consumer Reports recommendation. I had also read the reviews here. Reviews were all good so I went ahead and bought it! We are very happy with our purchase. We have had it now for over a year and it has worked flawlessly. It is quite powerful and for our small family it is the right size.

The instructional DVD that came with it was very helpful. It saved us from reading any bulky manuals -- I wish all appliance makers would do it. It may seem a bit expensive but that extra money is worth the super quite operation and a motor that works without a sweat. I strongly recommend it to others.

Bought this mainly for preparing baby food. But have used it for sooooo many other things. Easy to use. Easy to clean, and easy to reassemble. Would recommend this product to anyone who's looking for a quality food processor.

We've had this processor in the house for just about a month. The item paid for itself the first time I used it, due to being a huge time-saver for my normally busy schedule (it enables me to try new recipes I normally wouldn't have time to mess with). I've used it to chop & puree for several soups (Mulligatawny, White Bean, Gazpacho, etc.). The shredding disk shredded a whole block of Manchego for Balsamic Portabello/Onion/Cheese Omeletes in about a second. It shredded potatoes just as fast for a crust to a Carmelized Onion/Fennel Pie (of which I used the slicing blade for the onions & fennel). I find the slicing blade to be a lifesaver for items I want to keep "on-hand" for salads, sautees, etc. (like onions/bell peppers). This is my first food processor, and I wondered about the learning curve--to which I found none. It is really easy to put together, as well as take apart & clean. I'm also amazed at how quiet this thing operates. We had cheap mini-chopper for chopping onions, and while the noise never bothered me, compared to this processor, it was obnoxious. I'm sure I could actually run this thing next to sleeping humans without waking them! Thank you Cuisinart--I'm impressed!

I tried to replace a large Oster Blender jar. I purchased the product from Goodman's. The jar was smaller than advertised and the bottom to the jar did not fit properly and leaked all over. What made things worse was the fact that goodman's customer service was horrible. They had a poor response time, no customer relations skills, refused to deal with the problem, and I ended up throwing out the blender and going to a department store to buy a new one. The whole total event ended up costing me $67.

Love the style but it is top-heavy and falls over very easily.
