Nori Press Travel Steam Iron - Handheld Iron With Optional Steam Feature - No Ironing Board Required - Easy to Use w/ 6 Fabric Settings - Removes Wrinkles - White

I didn’t expect to love a clothing iron, but this iron seriously impressed me. It’s lightweight and actually aesthetically pleasing so I don’t mind leaving it out which is not something I ever thought I’d say about an iron haha. It’s perfect for someone like me who wants wrinkle-free clothes without the hassle of setting up an ironing board.It heats up fast and makes wrinkles disappear in seconds. I’ve used it on everything from dresses to button-downs, and it always leaves my clothes looking crisp and fresh. I especially love that you can use it vertically, so I can do quick touch-ups while something’s hanging without dragging out a steamer or ironing board.It’s also amazing for travel. It barely takes up any room and works way better than those hotel irons. Honestly, it just makes the whole process of getting ready feel quicker and easier.

I recently purchased this handheld iron, and I have to say, I’m impressed by its performance. The compact design makes it incredibly convenient to store and travel with, which is perfect for those who are always on the go. Despite its size, the steam output is powerful and effective, easily smoothing out wrinkles on both light fabrics and heavier materials like cotton.The heat-up time is fast, and the temperature settings are straightforward to adjust, offering great control for different fabrics.One of the standout features is its lightweight build, which makes ironing for long periods much easier on the wrists. However, the water tank could be slightly larger, as it requires frequent refilling for longer ironing sessions.Overall, for anyone who needs a portable, efficient, and reliable handheld iron, I highly recommend this model. It delivers great results without taking up much space or time.

Okay I’m not one to usually carry extra nick-nacky tools around or on me when traveling. I am so obsessed with this tool. I hate ironing but I also hate wrinkling clothes and this tool is so amazing. I love the brand and ease of using it. Such great quality and literally like a flat iron but for your clothes. I love the steam option and I use it on my fine linen clothes and it works great. So easy to use and truly works!

The media could not be loaded. I saw a video for this product by happenstance while perusing Amazon - my favorite pastime - and was intrigued. I watched the product video and then called Jake, who does his own ironing because he truly finds ironing relaxing. But sometimes he’s in a hurry or doesn’t want to bother with getting out the ironing board.We watched the other videos, and each and everyone seemed to handle this steamer perfectly. Plus all the reviews were great.But still, I waited a few weeks before finally caving in and ordering it. It came today and we were so excited - don’t know about offspring Jake, but I was wondering if I was being inhabited by the spirit of a 1950s housewife, I was so excited.Jake is traveling in two days for training, so he is getting his clothes ready and he got his shirts out, because what a perfect item to begin with.That’s when I began to realize that my short-term, long-distance relationship with this steamer-iron was infatuation, not true love. This was my first time at being taken in by emotions over a web-based relationship.Meeting in person took away all the glamour and mystery.My first clue was that the very first instruction is “Start by laying your garments on a flat surface - it’s easier for maneuvering. And the product page states SAVE SPACE NO IRONING BOARD REQUIRED. And NO CLUNKY IRONING BOARD REQUIRED.There’s a problem though. I can’t use my table, because that’s where we eat; end tables are too small. And the floor is too low - not to mention hard on the knees.A flat surface, a flat surface, hmmmmm - I KNOW! An ironing board! But - I’m not supposed to have to use one. And besides, all the videos, save for one, show the person ironing while the garment is hanging up.Okay, that’s what we’ll do. We have one of those portable racks for drying clothes in the sunshine or in the house. If you use one, make sure you put a carpet down first as the steamer will spit on your floor.The rest of the instructions, and I use that term very loosely, and really worthless. Very cute written copy, but it’s cute at the expense of information.So we drag it out and we get started.Now watch the video.It’s dangerous. To use the buttons and keep re-filling it with water and to keep turning it - the fingers get way too close to the plates for safety and comfort.It’s just way too much trouble and doesn’t really do a good job.Those videos we watched? Don’t know what those people are doing that we couldn’t figure out how to do, but I feel cheated.Towards the end I used my 5-year-old $20 steamer to show that it does a far superior job to this Much easier to use as well.Returning this.And it’s back to the old drawing board. Er, ironing board.NOT recommended.Oh - and speaking of cute - NORI - IRON - palindrome….

Upon first impression, the Nori Press basically looks like a giant hair straightener but sleeker. I can see this being a good space saver in small apartments or maybe if you live alone. After taking it out of the box, there is a good weight to the press and I found it heavy after using it for a while, especially if you use one hand while using this. This may not be good for large ironing batches as the water tank holds very little water. The cord is thick but does have good flexibility and the color matches the product as a whole.I found the instructions to be a little sparse and not beginner-friendly for someone who doesn't iron a lot. I think it would be good to have some tips on what is the best way to iron certain fabrics, etc etc. One caveat to watch out for is that the tong design may cause wrinkles since it only covers so much area when using it and you have to reach over to the other side of the shirt.

Wait…if you have a washer/dryer combo machine and your clothes always come out wrinkled…BUY THIS NOW. I waited until I used several times before leaving this review. Like a massive hair straightener but for clothes. I don’t have time to steam and press everyday, this has been quick, efficient, and part of my daily routine while getting ready for work!Product feels well made and super durable. I don’t typically invest into items like this but I’m seeing now why it’s so worth it. I also just traveled with it!Fits in my luggage easily and everyone I traveled with ended up passing it around to use it as well. Grab it if you’re considering, seriously. So good.
