In comparison tests by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute, this hand-crafted British walnut veneer pants presser was rated best for its large pants pressing area, versatility of pressing time, and pressing temperature. Its pressing area (2 larger than most) is ideal for pressing a pair of average-length men's pants. The 250-watt heating pad has an electronic microchip timer so it reaches peak pressing temperature in 10 minutes without scorching. A unique mechanism gently pulls trousers, slacks, and skirts taut, eliminating the need to straighten fabric for proper pressing. The thermostat controlled unit has a timer with 15-, 30-, and 45-minute settings for light to heavier fabrics, and it requires no cool-down for immediate reset. LED display indicates time elapsed. With contoured coat hanger, cuff link dish, accessory tray, and retractable tie bar. May be wall mounted. Hand assembled in Windsor, England by John Corby, Ltd., inventors of the original pants presser. 37 H x 17 1/2 W x 6 D. (28 lbs.).
