Miele Original B 990 Rotary Iron with Wide Heater Plate, 120 V

So, I was thinking to myself, "Are you insane? Two G's for ironed sheets? Do you know how many times you could have the laundry do that for you?". Well, it turns out that the answer to that question is "Not so many". The local Martinizing will gladly launder and press a queen sized flat sheet and four pillow cases for $56.74. And you know what? For $56.74 they do an OK (not great) job. Tablecloths are similar but they charge by the square inch. One of my tablecloths would have cost $80.00. Napkins are $6.00. This isn't even the French style laundry in town who presses everything with a hand iron and charges $12.00 per shirt. I bought this machine from Amazon and I am very pleased with how fast and easy it is to press things, especially flat things like sheets, pillow cases, table cloths, and napkins. In fact, I can press the flat sheet and the pillow cases in less than 15 minutes. So, at $56.74 for 15 minutes work, that's like hiring a psychiatrist to press your sheets for you (who we might better use as a psychotherapist instead of having him/her iron our sheets if you're like me and want the perfect bed! Ha!). But, after only 40 weeks of ironing my own sheets, I figure that the rest of the years are gravy. If you are thinking about purchasing this machine go ahead and call around to find out how much it would cost you to have somebody do the job for you. When you pick yourself up off the floor, don't hesitate to work with this vendor.PS - two more things for consideration. First, I didn't have a problem with my khaki pants. In a few minutes I can do a weeks' worth of work clothes. Second, and this may sound a little eccentric, at $56.74 somebody is getting rich off of ironing sheets, but I figure it's not the people sweating their guts out to make it happen. I'd rather not participate in that.

The worst product I have ever purchased. Broke within 30 days. Have had the run around from Amazon and Miele ever since. I have spent there last five months trying to get this returned, exchanged or repaired with no luck. Technicians have been to my home four times trying to fix this but have not succeeded. It's a worthless piece of junk. I'm out over $2,000.00. You would think Amazon would care enough to make a customer happy. I should have just returned it during the return window but I tried to get it repaired instead. Amazon won't budge!

We have summer guest cabins: I have at least 15 pillowcases to iron a week, and I've got some 100% cotton sheets I never use because they need ironing to look good. This Miele Rotary Iron is easy to operate, and I feel very special while I'm using it. Yes, it makes me feel like I'm rich. It does an excellent job, exactly what I wanted. You have to pre-dampen the laundry, but I was doing that anyway: spray with water, roll up and put in a plastic bag for a bit so the dampness evens out. It was much wider than I expected because I didn't read the specs before ordering, I just knew I wanted one. I thought it'd be about 18 - 20 inches wide, but it's 38 inches wide (folds down to 20 inches for storage). This width is wonderful because that's what makes it a serious piece of equipment, not some little Suzy Homemaker replica of what I really needed. Because of the size I'm going to have to find a special spot for it. I'll probably fold up my ironing board and put the Miele where it is now; I never iron clothes, just all those pillowcases, so don't need the ironing board. Because it weighs 82 pounds, they take the shipping very seriously. It came double-boxed with foam surrounding the inner box and a wood pallet under it, inside the outer box. It's delivered by a freight company, not package delivery or the post office. Shipping was free on this order. You might think you have something better to do with 2000 bucks, but if you love the feel of crisp, ironed sheets, this is totally worth it. And don't forget a nicely ironed tablecloth for those family holiday dinners.

We use it to iron sheets, pillow cases, napkins, etc. at our Alaska Heritage House B&B in Fairbanks, AK. We iron these items to match the customs of the day in our restored home on the National Historic Registry (Mary Lee Davis House). The iron is ten times faster than hand ironing and at least twice as fast as a table top steamer iron. We had an old Bendix mangle that broke and can't be fixed. The old Bendix allowed the operator to pause the rotary wheel to set a fold, and the new Miele does not. To set a crease, the item needs to be run through twice. Overall, this is a hugh labor saver for us and was worth the extra shipping cost to get it to AK.

El producto es muy bueno pero tiene una pata dañada y pesa mucho para return y nadie resuelve todo en Amazon se convierte en mensajes para aquí y para allá yo aconsejo que nadie compre en Amazon nada que pese mucho
