(More customer reviews)Worth every penny! DH and I both wear business professional to work each day. At $3.25 per pair of pants, my dry cleaning bill was at least $45 - $50 a week doing both pants and shirts. It was getting ridiculous! So I splurged for this Singer steam press and it has worked out perfectly. I only do the pants (shirts are $1.25 each and it's worth it to me to drop those at the cleaners bc they are a pain and I simply don't have the time).
I near-dry the pants and then let them hang overnight. Then I steam press them, half a leg at a time, from the hem to the highest point the presser can go, only doing from the center seam out to the crease. So each pant gets 4 presses. I don't bother with the tops of the pants or the pleats. They look fine coming straight from the dryer. But if they need it, I'll use a traditional iron for that. It took some practice, but I've got it down to less than 1 minute per pair without rushing. They come out perfect and I'm saving a ton of money. We wear 10 pairs of pants each week. So each week I'm saving over $32.00 on my cleaning bill. In about 2 months, I was already ahead.
My only beef was that the steamer would leave little wet spots on the pants (that dried and no problem). But I discovered that was operator-error. I was steaming for 2-3 seconds and you really only need 1 second. And don't try to use this for shirts. You'll spend more time fixing the little creases than if you just used a regular iron. But for my purposes, this thing is a dream!

Give garments that "fresh from the cleaners" finish with this electronic steam press. Almost 14 times larger than a conventional iron, the unit's 24-by-9-inch pressing area reduces pressing time by as much as 50 percent, delivering a professional-looking press to large fabric surfaces such as table linens and draperies. Using just fingertip force to lower the handle, the appliance exerts 100 pounds of pressure for easily removing stubborn wrinkles or pressing several layers at a time. Choose between no steam or electronically pumped variable steam. With no steam, the unit can operate as a dry press when working with delicate fabrics; its electronically pumped variable steam delivers a true burst of steam from steam openings that cover the entire pressing area, ensuring the total area receives the benefits of steam.
"Power" and "temperature-ready" indicators take the guess work out of knowing the press temperature. Select from nylon, silk, wool, cotton, or linen settings--the press will remain at a consistent temperature to protect fabrics. If the handle gets left in the down position, an alarm will sound after 10 seconds as a reminder to lift the handle to ensure that fabrics are not exposed to the heating plate too long. For peace of mind, the unit's automatic shut-off turns off the power if its handle remains in the up or down position for too long. Ample space at the back of the pressing board comes in handy for holding large items as they are being pressed. The portable press comes with a lockable handle for storing in a vertical position, and it weighs only 22 pounds for simple transport. Accessories include a measuring cup, spray bottle, pressing cushion, washable pad cover, and an instruction book. The electronic steam press measures approximately 13 by 24 by 12 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
