Laurastar is pretty much the Dyson of irons but always priced too high. This is first time I am seeing one below $ 1000!!This is from TVSN - so you get instalment payment option as well.
Being from fashion background I understand a bit of how this works - the magic is in the board which has suction and blow options. The vacuum holds garment in place and the blow function removes the creases.

The write up from the site is below:
With the Laurastar Go system, you can enjoy all the essentials of Laurastars exclusive technology: a professional iron & steam and an active table that includes a blower and vacuum system.
Laurastar Go comes with a design, highly-resistant cover, a protective soleplate for delicate fabrics, a special heat-resistant iron mat, a drain tray, a steam cord holder and a water filling bottle.

Features & Benefits :
• Convenient: The Laurastar Go Ironing system has three adjustable height levels, as well as a large ironing surface with a narrow point whish can adapt to all clothing shapes. For increased convenience, its vertical steaming function allows you to bring the finishing touch to your hanging garment.
• Safe Use: Auto stop function which automatically switches off the appliance after ten minutes of non-use for increased safety and energy savings.
• Easy to store away, taking up only 18cm width when folded.
• Easy to use: heats up in eight minutes. The Laurastar steam generator can hold up to 0.8 litres of water.

Country of Origin: EUROPEAN UNION

Technical Specifications:
Whats in the box?
• 1 x LAURASTAR Go Ironing system.
• Highly resistant cover
• Protective soleplate for delicate fabrics

    You know that for $40 at Kmart you can also get an iron and board that also irons shirt. Or for $1000 @ $3 a shirt, you can get your shirts ironed for 66.6 weeks, which is almost two years of work (less holidays and public holidays).

      1 - who sells/wears $3 business shirts?
      and
      2 - wouldn't you still need to iron those, as they would be creased out of the pack

        1 - who sells/wears $3 business shirts?

        Wow…..

        2 - wouldn't you still need to iron those, as they would be creased out of the pack

        Double Wow….. Amazing really, our education system really is terrible.

        It's really very clear and I don't see how you could misread it… "for $1000 @ $3 a shirt, you can get your shirts ironed for 66.6 weeks"

        • SBOB on 07/05/2017 - 18:41
          -5

          well, I read it as the equivalent of 66.6 weeks of ironing (as the first sentence had me in the 'buying an iron from kmart' mode)…not that you'd actually pay someone $3 to iron a shirt (which seems even crazier to me than paying $1000 for an iron and board)

          so thanks for your wow and double wows, I'm over-wowed

          but anyway, clearly our education system is terrible (not that I've been in it for a long time)

      These aren't value-oriented products. They are for people who enjoy ironing, particularly delicate items. There should be plenty of youtube clips demonstrating the usefulness of the ironing board. The iron itself is comparable to other steaming irons.

  • Ruckmauler on 07/05/2017 - 18:31

    Seriously though - it has a fan cooled board and super large water reservoir - if I was extremely wealthy and still insisted on doing my own ironing - then this set-up would certainly be high on my list. However, I'm poor and choose not to iron - so i'm out.

    Regular price for this is $ 1800 and right now on the Laurastar website, it is availble for $ 1400. Hence this TVSN price of $ 999 is a surprise bargain!!
    I don't use this myself but have seen in use and it makes ironing much easier - mainly by adding functionality to the board as well.

          Why? Laurastar seems like a decent product that is worth it if you iron a lot. De Rucci is cheap rubbish that is also overpriced.

          Many people think of De Rucci as an exclusive brand and top quality.

        Ah this is a known bug. You need to do a hard reset which involves pushing the button called "freeze handbag and shoes allowance". If your model has a short fuse you may need to sleep on the couch for a few days afterwards but it almost always gets the suck/blow function working again after week 2.

      Maybe put some carbon fibre decals on there, hand-stitched leather and a couple of classy analogue displays like a compass and thermometer. If you want to go modern, add some digital gauges like g-force measurement, fastest shirt time, and steam psi.

          @LiveItUp: If memory serves me correctly, McQueen was supposed to resurface the road.

          He did a crap job the first time, so was forced to redo it - second time he did it well.

          That would be kinda like buying me new lingerie rather than just cleaning and ironing it.

        • GreatWhiteHunter on 08/05/2017 - 00:11

          @LiveItUp:

          Yeah it was all in the attitude from McQueen. First time he just wanted it done ASAP. He didn't give a toss about the quality, just wanted it over.

          It was a crap job first up.

          Second time round, he fell in love and did the road with love. Perfect job.

          You are one special lady (?) if you still love your husband so much you prepare his g-bangers so well.
          He must be a fit guy - married 30 years and still rocking the g-strings…

    My missus was always very keen, we came close but never bit the bullet.

    Lazy biatch always did iron stuff pretty poorly - not sure this would have improved things much - she still would have been required to put in some effort…

    In the end she outsourced ironing, cleaning and every other wifely duty while she sat on her ever expanding ass…
