Looking for Ironing Shortcuts: Anyone Tried a Trouser Press or Automatic Iron?

I need some advice about an automatic iron. My DH usually wears a formal shirt and trousers for work, and he's very particular about ironing them every day before wearing. He typically does the ironing himself, but I help out when I can, depending how busy I am . I'm curious if anyone has experience using a trouser press. I've seen them in some homes and they seem quite cumbersome. I’m wondering if anyone has found a good trouser press, any automatic iron, or some hack that could help reduce our stress and make life a bit easier.

A proper steam like seamstresses and boutiques use might be an option.
I always iron clothes before putting them away too, it makes life easier and the wardrobe looks tidier.

Thanks for your reply! I’m not too keen on spending more on these services and was hoping for a shortcut. I do wish I could be as organised as you! 😊

Sorry, my post wasn't clear, I meant buy a proper steamer.

It's easy for me to be organised, I live alone. I doubt I would be if I was doing laundry for a family.
