Ironing Boards Reviews

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!

How many years have I looked for a replacement cover...perhaps seven, which is when I purchased my Brabantia ironing board and moved to a new state. After trying many covers "out there" all to no avail and none that fit I gave up and was continually fighting with my old cover to keep it barely on the board. One day after I turned over the ironing board to put it away I spied the magic words with the name and measurements and instantly did a search on the web. Voila! Amazon.com held the answer--a replacement finally!
Pad and cover arrived promptly and I am now one happy iron-er!
Thank you Amazon.

I bought this when I bought my Rowenta DX-8800 iron. It's nice and wide, and quite sturdy. I'm not crazy about the rack where the iron can rest, but that's a minor issue.

This was exactly what I was looking for! This ironing board is very well made and has a few extra nice features. The rack below stores clothes waiting to be ironed and the hanger piece allows me to hang recently ironed items. I'm no longer hanging shirts over the doorway... :) All in all I am very happy with this ironing board and it is worth the extra money.

I must admit that I'm an occasional ironer, having long ago embraced a wash-and-wear lifestyle and wardrobe. There are, however, articles of clothing which simply demand to be ironed. There is also from time to time that load of laundry that has stayed in the dryer for several days because everyone in the house is too busy or too lazy to attend to it until it has wrinkled beyond the dryer's poor ability to address. So I iron when it's absolutely necessary, and never more often.

But even an occasional ironer needs the proper tools - both to do an acceptably good job and to reduce the seemingly inevitable dread. Every time I pulled out my old ironing board, it screamed "I AM SO CHEAP." It was the kind of lightweight, poorly designed and constructed thing that typifies our throw-away society. It was short (and I am not), and it made my back hurt every time I ironed for nearly twenty years. Somewhere along the way I had bought a good iron - it was time for a good board.

A hundred bucks may seem like a lot for an ironing board. It did to me, anyway. Spend the money. This thing is worth it. It's solid - not at all tippy as mentioned in another post. The height adjustment has positive detents to give you that confident, "yes, it's going to hold" feeling when you set it up. There's a stand for your iron that appears to be perfectly proportioned for Rowenta's high-end steamer. There's a handy fold-away rack so you can hang your freshly ironed shirts and trousers. It also has a wire shelf underneath that I haven't figured out how or if I'll use, but it isn't in the way, and perhaps it'll come in handy for some people. The muslin cover isn't anything fancy, but it's well secured and, like the rest of this piece, refreshingly and admirably functional. The best part is its height: It adjusts from 25" to 39" ... a full four inches higher than my old board and most others I've found. If you're over six feet tall and you're ever going to lift an iron, do yourself a favor. I'm 6'5", and it's at the perfect height (arms extended, palms flat) for me at its vertical limit.

To sum it up, life's too short - get a good ironing board ... and this one's as good as it gets.

I have peace of mind now that I place my hot iron on the iron rest after I finish ironing. It is also out of my way while I'm arranging garments onto the ironing board. It keeps me from accidently bumping the hot iron. I would buy it again.

very stable, very wide, takes special ironing board cover... an additional expense. Also, must take new larger storage area into consideration, will not fit where standard board fits. Otherwise, it's great!

This board is wider making it more convenient for pressing while sewing and quilting. The iron holder is very conveniently placed and it is to easy to park the iron without it falling on the floor. I am happy with this purchase!
