But can you imagine how much that sucker, sorry steamer, is going to cost?

If it will last as long as the Siemens Shirtmaster did....looks a great concept and pushing 4g`s @100g`s a minute, will be pretty impressive...I`m sure the sell is the Honeycombe plate!!

Philips has a similar system for 899 euros.
Oh ye, of little faith! lol

LOL!
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my Miele oven.
But they are just an appliance company, and given complaints on Garden Web these days, are suffering from some of the same quality issues all manufacturers do.
But it's just an iron and an ironing board!
Having said that I DID spend $100 on an iron that has a steam generator; it shortens the ironing time by 50% for me and my wife. But it's an iron

Actually I agree with you. I would never spend so much money on an iron and an iron board. Actually I almost never iron. I bought a Krups iron in the eighties and it is as good as new!

I have an avocado GE Iron from the early 70s and the green Teflon is still unscratched so I think I am getting my money's worth out of it. I hope I never have to replace it and at its current rate of use, I have to introduce it to the ironing board each time I drag it out of the cabinet so it just might make it to my estate sale. Fair warning though, the spray feature stopped working decades ago even though I only use demineralized water in it from one of those Wantz squeeze bottles with the little resin beads at the bottom and the twist open valve on the spout. I have not seen those replacement beads for decades either.
I would not mind having Miele man come over and help me iron. We could play with the Miele washers while he is there.

It's more than an ironing board. Watch some of the demos about how to use it for different items. It fluffs, it buffs and steams and irons. It's a one stop solution for all of your ironing needs!
Never in the world any other than
Laurastar.
While others have been trying to imitate that (Vorwerk, Miele, Siemens, Domestica), I'd never buy any other again but Laurastar. We had ours for years, it's been going on daily, this one is one of the rare instances that I DO stick to a brand. (Other than Apple, H&M, BMW, Olympia, GE, AEG, Siemens, Kenmore, Hoover, what have you - good at some instances for each of them, but never good overall, none of them).
What comes to ironing: Laurastar. (NO, I am not a seller/salesperson, no, I do not work for a trade fair promotional firm). I am simply convinced by real life. Yes, I DO have a mangle ironer, and YES I have tried the Laurastar right here and now. Sure they are not the inventor of those systems, but they were the first ones to place them into the domestic market segment.
No other in my (hopefully long) life.
Their iS-5 unit (the one we have here) is a spoil to you wallet, but a dream to live with. Not any other again! No f...in way!
Having had this machine (there may be newer units by now) I would not even turn my head on other brands, this is the one to go for me. (Not talking for everyone here, it's just me who loves it).

I wonder
If it has a feature to make Bread Dough Rise too ?
Next Year Miele will incorporate a Vacuum Cleaner into the Ironing Board will be the Upright Sweeper Part and the Iron will be the HandHeld for doing the Stairs and Hard to reach places.
It is a Beautiful , Well thoughtout Appliance. I never Iron though.

Steam "Boiler" and Vaccum Table Systems
Are take offs on what commercial laundries/dry cleaners have been using for ages.
Ironing has two functions, the heat and steam rearrange the fibers of textiles on a molecular level (much as they do with hair and so forth), and once cooled the smoothing remains more or less until the thing is either shifted/worn and or laundered again.
Because high pressure steam is essentially "dry" it accomplishes the task in one go for most fabrics including heavy hard to iron ones such as linen and thick cottons. This is opposed to the back and forth going over an area over and over with most domestic irons that emit "wet" steam. Even gravity feed irons cannot produce the same vast amounts of dry steam as boilers.
Problem is that because boiler irons produce so much steam it soon condenses in the padding of ironing boards/tables. This means not only a dripping mess from below, but as the padding becomes soggy it transfers that moisture to whatever one is ironing and rewets what once was dry.
Vacuum tables/ironing boards work on the principle of pulling the steam through the cloth and exhausted elsewhere. Better quality boards will also have heat inside the unit to evaporate any water build-up and keep the padding/ironing surface dry. Another benefit is that the suction provided keeps whatever one is ironing stuck to the spot and smoothed down, sort of like having a second set of hands. Top of the line systems go furhter and have the ability to blow air up as well as suck it out of the ironing surface. This allows one to iron delicate fabrics such as silk and man made textiles without risk.
One of the main pushes for these systems at first for laundries and later domestic use was to have the ability to iron fabrics without having them dampened first.
As anyone who has tried to iron shirts made from fine fabric such as percale or poplin knows often a hand iron just won't shift creases and or give the same results as ironing the thing damp. However not everyone has that kind of time.
Have a "small" quasi-commercial but portable vacuum ironing board/system made by Hi-Steam along with small boiler and pump irons. Each will blow the wrinkles out of anything I've put to the test. Indeed have sadly ruined a few things because the steam coming out of the boiler is just that hot.

guess a device to make ironing fun?James Bond needss one of these.it is kinda neat and clever.but don't want to see the price-and does it need to run off 220V?
I would LOVE one of these, but my wife would kill me if I bought one..
Spending $2.5k on an iron and ironing board is insanity. At least IMHO.
The honeycomb iron really looks neat though.
I wish our ironing sessions were that "intense".. When you look at the way the woman is eyeing the man as he's ironing things... you'd think it was straight out of some kind of demented soap opera.
If I find one of these used at a decent price, I'd consider buying one...
