Singer ESP-2 Steam Press, White

Best thing I ever got. Since my mobility got worse

I watched quite a few online videos before deciding to buy. As some other reviewers state if you press the steam button when the unit is closed then this is not according to the manufacturers instructions and you may damage the machine.PositivesSmall water tank but it seems to last for ages (just make sure you boil the kettle a while before you are due to iron)Heats up quickly and ready in more or less the same time as a standard iron (or seems so to me)Easy to storeGood safety features.Water tank can be full when you store the machine.Presses very well and does reduce ironing timeYou can sit down if you wish or need while you ironNegativesHeavier than a normal iron. Don't let this put you off, but you may want to consider if you can just have it set up somewhere without lifting it.I'm only 5'6" and average build so my cloths are not very big. So you may want to consider this before you buy, it may take a while longer to work out how to iron your clothes if they are large. For example, a mens shirt in my size fits on the press pad more or less. A mens shirt with a 48" chest will not meaning you need to move it around to press it all.Price!TipsBoil the kettle to make a cuppa before you iron and then use the boiled water if you need to top up the water tank.You will burn your hand on the upper heating plate, but this will stop when you get used to it so just keep practicing.You will have to learn how to iron again, but it will get easier and quicker over time. Don't expect miracles out of the box!You ideally want to set the press up on a clean polished table, to allow you to move the clothes around easier on the press pad.

I have had a Singer press before ( for 10yrs ) & I was very pleased with it, so I thought I'd get another, though it said it was slightly shorter ( not by much ) its a good length for most items, the only reason why I have not given it 5stars are two things, 1/ I found when ironing any shirts you push the shirt to the back of the press & bring the shirt forward as you go along, the depth of the solid part of the press to the iron top is quite a bit smaller & the height from the board to the top ironing board is smaller, making me burn myself most times I iron a shirt !!! which is not good, I never burnt myself with my previous press, 2/ I sit down when ironing & find when I put my hand up to get the handle to press down my arm catches the rim of the top board ! This might sound as if I am putting it down but l am not as its irons really good, I am pleased with it, the digital display is much better, if your used to a press then your 1/2 way there, much better than an iron any day....

Steam press delivered great, delivery driver polite and helpful thank you all at AMAZON.,,WIFE USED IT TODAY FIRST TIME, SHE SAID VERY PLEASED WITH IT AND FEELS CONFIDENT, AS SHE KEEPS USING THE PRESS MORE CONFIDENT SHE GETS.. WITH THE FRESS SHES PLEASED HOW EASY IT IS. TO USE.

Wouldn’t be without it.

I bought this machine because I was fed up of taking almost 2 hours to iron a king size duvet plus fitted sheet and pillow cases on a regular ironing board, only to find when I put them on the bed that I'd missed places. So annoying! First I replaced my fitted sheets with flat sheets bought from Divine Textiles (fantastic hotel quality sheets: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B06W58W5GH/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) so they would be easy to iron.Then I bought this machine based on its reviews nd being portable to fit on a table and it is amazingly fast and easy to use. Once your bedding is washed and dried, make sure to fold it neatly ready for ironing. I put the setting on Cotton heat and it ironed out the creases perfectly on the sheet even though it was folded EIGHT times. This meant I only needed 3-4 presses to do the entire sheet! Now I want to wash and iron all my sheets every day on these hot summer nights! I know, who would've thought you could be so excited about the ironing :-)I've also done t-shirts and jeans super quick, will be trying out shirts soon. I just love this machine!! Thank you Singer!

I really enjoy using my steam press but i do find that it is difficult to press shirts and blouses nicely.

Very easy to use
