Laurastar Smart I Ironing System

Best iron ever. Ironing is a lost art, but I still enjoy doing it. Great buy, price is steep.

I upgraded from the Lift and so glad I did! Heats up quickly, has the automatic shutoff override feature, smooth sole plate. We are on well water with high iron and calcium, so I use bottled spring water as recommended by a Laurastar rep. Would be even better if it would stand up on its own when folded, but it’s easy enough to move around and lean up against a wall.

Box was damaged when it arrived but still accepted delivery. This is my 3rd Laura Star iron and not as nice as the other 2 that I have owned. Would really appreciate more literature in English of features instead of books of directions in various languages. Much noisier that the ones that I previously owned. Hoping it holds up well for the price!

Well I have experience with Laure Star for many years but this new model is much better than the others

If you want to buy this for sewing, look elsewhere, as it takes about 6 minutes to heat up, and you can’t override the auto-off switch on this model. If you just want to iron like the people in those inspiring videos, read on: I wish I’d read reviews of Laurastar USA before buying what I thought would be a top of the line, lifetime product. It was the priciest ironing system ever made, but its performance does not match the hype. And the company I purchased from said only Laurastar USA could manage support, and Laurastar USA doesn’t return calls, doesn’t honor their warranty, and is insulting in their policies. They jerked me around until my 30-day satisfaction guarantee was up, and now I’m out $3,000. Look at other reviews — including TrustPilot — and you will see I am not an exception, this is how their company runs. Swiss engineering and lifetime quality my anatomy. Find some other steamer you like, and be glad you didn’t fall for the carnival pitch.

This is an excellent system and does a fantastic job on any fabric. Really the best I've used. But while the iron is light - the ironing board is very heavy. The weight of the board makes it extremely difficult to fold and move. I recommend the ironing system if you have a dedicated space where you can leave it open and if you don't need to have the ability to fold or move it. If you don't have a dedicated space, you should look into just the iron, without the board.

This iron may have just been a lemon, but after first 3 shirts stopped holding pressure.
