The Arion Clothes Iron Turns Your Duds into Air Dancers for Drying and Pressing

— September 4, 2012 — Tech
Suppose you had an appliance that could do both your drying and your pressing on laundry day, saving you time and effort? The Arion Clothes Iron has been designed as a domestic alternative to the dry cleaners. It can take your freshly washed garments and have them ready to wear in a jiffy.

Nigel Roddy's invention is a disc-shaped fan on two feet that blasts air upwards. A heating element is built into the base as well, making the appliance operate very similarly to an oversized hair dryer.

Perforated air bags come with the device in the shapes of shirts and pants, upon which your clothing must be mounted. The air-filled sacks apply pressure to the articles and the high temperature banishes creases. With your air dancer slacks set up on the Arion Clothes Iron, they can be completely dried and de-wrinkled in 15 minutes.
