There are so many complaints associated with the conventional contemporary ironing system that it's surprising more solutions have not been devised. The Electrolux AhrmaDilo concept strives to straighten out a few of the common problems people face when attempting to flatten crinkled fabrics by tackling two primary issues.
Firstly, the removal of that irritating cord from the "Dilo" device makes the job much easier. You wouldn't have to worry about running the hot plate over it or accidentally yanking the appliance out of the socket. Christopher Carpenter's invention heats up wirelessly through the ironing board.
The "Ahrma" ironing board has been designed to take a different form from what's familiar. It is wall-retractable for stability and convenience but it uniquely incorporates a shape that's perfect for pressing collared shirts and pants.
