Review on πŸ”₯ Janome Artistic Elna EP100 Heat Press by Gelin Battle

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great press for ironing or decorating clothes

I am so afraid of ironing that I rarely use the ironing board and either prefer wrinkled clothes or avoid them altogether. I wanted to get rid of the ironing routine, so (after months of deliberation) I took a chance and decided to spend a lot of money on this device. I wanted to buy the Steamfast SF-623BK Medium Fabric Steam Press but its small size is too restrictive and will make me iron a single garment for a long time. This Elna heat press (referred to as the Janome on Revain) has an ironing surface that is about 3/4 the size of a full size ironing board and it works great. There is space on the back of the device to allow clothing to be pulled forward when pressed. I love it. At the highest level (cotton) the device heats up in about 10 minutes. Once heated it is easy to use and my clothes come out as if they have been ironed with a cleaner. The accompanying DVD is a silent presentation (with the same background music) demonstrating how to iron various garments, patches or crystals and how to operate the appliance. I would have preferred a spoken demo without music, but that's enough. There is also an instruction manual, a soft ironing board for ironing in hard-to-reach areas such as sleeve cuffs or in the shoulder area and a spray bottle. The atomizer is used to spray clothes (especially cotton) with water before ironing to generate the right amount of steam. The device snaps into place for carrying, but is a bit heavy to carry. Overall I am happy with my purchase, although I consider it very expensive. I look forward to using it for years to come, and may even use it to add patches or crystals to some of my clothing.
