Clothes Ironing Machine – The Future Of Ironing

I think nobody would disagree if we said that ironing is time-consuming. Not only that, it requires lots of patience and effort. You need to stand in front of the ironing board and do repetitive movements to smooth out wrinkles which is tiring and, of course, boring. Sometimes, the results are also less than perfect which is frustrating after all the time spent.

Now, there is a chance that all of these complaints will be a thing of the past. A clothes ironing machine called effie is being developed which intends to make ironing as easy as a click of a button.

How Does The effie Clothes Ironing Machine Work?

Unlike the automatic ironer which is already available on the market for quite some time, the effie is much more sophisticated. It is a rectangular-like box that can be wheeled from one spot to another so that you can store it away after ironing.

You just need to hang your clothes onto a rail which can accommodate up to 12 different items of clothing at a time including trousers, skirts, and bedding. The special hangers are adjustable to fit all sizes including kids clothes. You can also use the machine to dry loose pieces of clothing such as socks and underwear. There is a removable water tank in which you need to fill with water. You can even add in a scent if you wish.

Then press Start and the clothes will be moved inside the machine to start the ironing process one by one. It takes approximately 3 minutes to get a shirt ironed. Once it is done, just collect the shirt from the rail. Your cell phone can even alert you when the ironing is finished.

Where Can You Buy The effie?

At the time of writing, the effie has not been released for sale and the patent is still pending. You can go to the effie website to find out the latest details. As it is not ready for public release yet, the selling price of effie is still unknown at this stage. Neither do we know where we will be able to buy it once it is launched commercially.

Can An Automatic Ironing Machine Replace Traditional Ironing?

In my opinion, it is just a matter of time before the traditional steam iron gets phased out and replaced by something that is much simpler to use. As it is, there is a strong demand for alternatives as people try to avoid ironing as much as possible. The bottom line is people hate ironing which creates opportunities for manufacturers to fill this demand with products that can take away the pain of doing this chore. Wrinkle release sprays is one such example of ironing alternatives that people will readily buy.

However, the problem of current alternatives to a steam iron is that they are far from perfect. They don’t give satisfactory results to many users that many have no choice but to go back to traditional ironing. So, an automatic shirt ironing machine would definitely be welcomed if it can produce perfectly pressed clothes or, at least, give the same results as the best steam irons.

At the end of the day, whether the effie or any other clothes ironing machine will take off in a big way will depend on its ironing results, long-term performance, and cost. If it can be made affordable for the mass market with results that can match the best Rowenta irons, it may well be the first choice for consumers.
