Stressed-out homemakers can take a break and leave the iron in the closet. A product from Siemens called “Dressman” will at least take over the chore of ironing shirts. An Emnid survey confirms something we already know from personal experience: Ironing is one of the household chores that people hate the most. It also eats into precious free time, for even experienced ironers need about eight minutes to press a shirt. This new ironing assistant promises to deliver perfectly ironed shirts in no time.
The Dressman has easy to use push button and rotary displays, 12 programmable options for ironing wet shirts made of silk, rayon, cotton, linen and all other non-stretch fabrics, 1 ‘cool’ program for airing and freshening garments like coats and jackets and 2 ‘warm’ air programs for drying damp jackets and ironing them if required.
Inflatable dressman body is made out of parachute silk material for durability and the silk material can be machine washed at 40ºC. It is fully adjustable for all sizes of shirts and blouses, long and short sleeves (mens shirt collar sizes 14-20, blouse sizes 10-24). Also, an audible signal indicates end of program, comes with retractable top frame for easy storage, casing with handle and wheels for easy storage and transport and cord storage compartment with 3m flex length
In Germany, Siemens sold about 4.000 units within a few months. Now the company starts to market the device in other countries. The equipment looks like the upper body of the mannequins you see in store windows. A freshly washed shirt is simply pulled over the device, and any wrinkles are smoothed out. Twelve fully automatic programs for various types of shirts and materials take care of the rest: The shell made of balloon silk literally inflates itself with hot air and gets the shirts into shape. And the process is easy on the shirts because it uses low temperatures. Broken buttons and unsightly stains will also become things of the past, and additional functions can dry wet jackets or air out sports coats. Up to now, such automatic ironing systems have been available only for professional cleaners and laundries. These use high pressure and are hard on the material as a result. They are also big and expensive. The dressman, which costs about €1,466 - $1,880 - £1,000, is not exactly inexpensive, but it works very economically. The operating costs amount to only five cents per shirt. By comparison, it costs about €2 at the cleaners — not including the cost of getting there. Available at
