Steam Pressers: Do steam pressers like the 5-star-rated Singer ESP-2 Electronic Steam Press work on shirts and slacks?

yes, I used this for two years every day to steam my dress shirts and slacks. just have to make sure you have the temperature set right and are using distilled water or reverse osmosis filtered water. takes a little while to get used to but once you know what you're doing can steam shirt and pants in less than 2 minutes

I have never had to press the steam button while using the iron. However, because it is a cordless iron, it stays hot for a few minutes and then you put it back on the charger while you move what you are ironing to the next position. It heats up very quickly and I have been extremely satisfied with it. I don't do a great deal of ironing but love the convenience of not having a cord. I wouldn't go back to a standard iron again. Hope this answered your question.

It takes a little work to figure out how to make the adjustments, but once you do it works great. I've even used it on upholstery fabric (the heavier weight cottons), and it does a good job. I've used all these presser feet and they make sewing much easier. This is a great kit, I've bought several and use them all the time.

Hi. I recently purchased the Hamilton Beach Retro iron. I iron daily and am very particular about my iron and having my clothes nicely pressed. I have owned both inexpensive and very expensive irons in the past and was generally uninspired by the performance. This retro iron is great. It offers the basics in terms of features but does what an iron should do - provide nice heat and steam which result in a neatly pressed garment or fabric. I am extremely happy with this iron. Hope this helps.

I've done more than a hundred shirts and a couple of bags with this press and have had great results. I have a Cameo and the two are happily compatible. Good luck!

Sorry, no idea. Cannot even obtain where to get my steam press repaired. Worked twice then failed.

Yes! In fact I always use it dry with dampened clothes because of how the steam spits. I've gotten one too many burns to use the steamer.

If you are doing large amounts of laundry yes the steamer is great. It will press better than an iron every time. The only downside is the start up time for the water, so if you're not in a hurry it is the best choice. All of the heads will work the same, one is smaller for smaller items.

First, I LOVE this steam press!!!! When I first got it, I was ironing everything!!! Yes, it does iron sheets. You have to do it in sections. You might want to fold the sheet completely first and then iron it in sections. Don't know the weight, but it is manageable.

I would press shirts only. It is very sturdy so it might work because you can adjust the pressure.

Yes i never use irons now after I got a steamer. Can steam shirts pants anything and its all very durable not like the other flimsy ones.

Generally speaking, presses have the same threads all around. It should work just fine.

I really don't know. If your machine has a low or short shank it should. I know it works on the Futura machine and I think it is better than the one that came with my machine because it gets closer to the zipper or anything you want to get close to. When I googled your machine a site came up that sells parts and the shank used to attach the snap on presser feet looks exactly like mine and one is described as a low shank, so my guess is it would fit.

I used it with a commercial heat press for evenness of pressure........better control than trying to iron on.....very good product.....less "hazing" than older products of similar kind. Did a heather gray sweatshirt and after the first washing the "shadowing" was gone

Meg, I purchased the V200 because it has the option of selecting continuous steam since I do a lot of sewing and quilting and had this feature on a previous iron. I truly love this iron and would recommend it to everyone. I have not had any water spitting problem with this iron which makes the iron worth its weight in gold. There is no better iron on the market as far as I am concerned.

Yes it does. It's a tad heavier than most irons but I love it...especially the steam button.

Both work with steam off . . .and have the option to turn off the annoying auto-shutoff which kicks in after idle for 8 minutes.I'm convinced, after replacing my household irons every year or so, that people who sew, are experiencing much shorter lived irons specifically because of the auto-shutoff. Think about it . . .they heat, they cool, they heat, they cool, all day long, every day they're used. That can't possibly be good for irons.
