YAC Japan has invented an ironing device that is being touted as the "the fastest ironing machine in the world", allegedly having the capability to iron 120 shirts per hour.
While convenient at times, going to the dry cleaner can be a costly and time consuming endeavour. At the same time, ironing one's own clothes every day can be tedious. This is where the new device comes in handy, appealing to those who are tired of preforming the repetitive task every day. The machine features a Panasonic touchscreen with a user-friendly interface, making for a seamless start-to-finish process. In addition to quickly ironing clothes, the rather large robotic device can also fold once the task is complete.
