Just the process of setting up to press your clothes can be annoying, adding even greater appeal to a product like the Enfold Iron. Conventional ironing apparatuses are already one-handed and fairly compact, but they require a smooth and suitable surface on which to de-crease your collared shirts.
An innovative alternative is this Quirky design that brings the ironing board and the hot plate into one convenient contraption. It's spring-hinged so that it remains open in its resting position with both panels pushing together when you tighten your grasp. The top is the heated surface and the lower part has a soft layer of nylon to act as a padded base. Simply guide the Enfold Iron over ribbons, ties and necklines and use it as a handy steamer as required.
