Done, DD's pleated school skirts are evil with my crappy cheapy iron, I dread ironing them!

Done

Iron? What is this thing you speak of?

Oooh, pick me please!!

Done. I cannot understand how a family of 4 can make so much washing / ironing. DS starting school has only added to the problem. I need a decent iron - I go through them at a startling rate and yet to find one up to the task!

Oooh this would be fab - discovered that someone has dropped my current iron and it is now gushing dirty brown water everywhere - when it deigns to turn on at all!
I know one shouldn't speak ill of the departed but it wasn't up to much in the first place! Steam very temperamental and spray clogged up long ago! I would love a steam generator iron then I could iron everything in sight - would love to have ironed sheets and duvet covers... (well I can dream)

Everything is falling apart around me! Dishwasher conked out in the summer, tumble dryer creaking, washing machine squealing ... Just glad I didn't order any replacements from Comet! Phew!

Done.

Done. I would love this, absolutely love it!

I have added my name, so fingers crossed !!

Ok. I want to do this, however, I don't actually iron.
DH is in charge of ironing in the HairyKnee household.
Is it ok if I put my name down and he can use it and give me feedback to put on MN?
It'll be just up his street - he always drags me to look at the techiest looking irons whenever we jo out shopping.

Done....oo-er we can't all qualify!!

I was hoping that with all the MN-ers who vow they "never iron" I'd be in with a chance.

Hey-ho good luck all!

I have a 15mo little boy... I NEED THIS! Especially the rate at which he goes through stuff!!

WiseKneeHair - yep put your name down but put that it's your DH in the "pick me" box!

Thanks Ann.
I didn't put his name down, I just answered it as if I were him.
I'm quite good at answering for him, I've had 20 years experience.

Oh.Done!!!I would love to try this iron! I iron everything,even socks! It's crazy I know but I like how soft and lovely clothes and bedding, towels are after ironing
My iron doesn't steam enough(looks like it will be dead very soon):)
That's why would love to try this perfect iron with one setting for all clothes, who is faster than other irons! I love ironing and ironed clothes but I hate to spend more time than this is necessary!

Done! Pleeeeeeeeease pick me, I'm crap and need to get better at ironing so we don't look like the Family Scruff all the time.

Done.

I neeeeeed to test this one, I will bribe as neccesary I hate ironing sooo much!

Did you get mine? the screen didnt load properly when i sent it.

Please pick me, i have a rubbish cheap iron, would love to make the job easier and a bit quicker!

I'll be lucky to get this given I'm still mid-another test, but my iron's 30+ years old, won't steam any more and I've just had to remember how to use it when DS went to school. Argh! School trousers and little tiny shirts!

So far I'm doing better at ironing me than the clothes - the second burn since Sept has only just healed... because I'm having to use a damp muslin thanks to lack of steam. And I put my hand under it... Klutz. And I burned a pair of trousers when I tried without the cloth. I even posted on here about having to get someone to do it for me in desperation! So I'd love simple iron that even a completely useless half-asleep idiot I can use.

done. i'd love to try this.DH loves ironing and I always blame the iron for my poor attempts. I'd love to say "see, told you so!" :)

Done. How are you selecting? Is it names out of a hat?

Done

omg! I do hope I get picked for this. I have tried to give up ironing but just can't bring myself to wear unironed clothes or even put the children in them. I even iron socks and pants, my ocd just won't let me put them away unless they are neatly pressed! But I truly HATE ironing so a fancy iron would make my day!

Please please me I hate ironing and am pretty bad at it!
