Singer ESP2 Steam Ironing Press
Singer ESP2 Steam Ironing Press ESP-2, 24″ x 9” Board
Singer is back in the steam ironing press business with a brand new and improved model. FREE Singer Press Video DVD and Extra Cover Pad Set.
Give garments that “fresh from the cleaners” finish with this electronic steam press. Almost 14 times larger than a conventional iron, the unit’s 24-by-9-inch pressing area reduces pressing time by as much as 50 percent, delivering a professional-looking press to large fabric surfaces such as table linens and draperies. Using just fingertip force to lower the handle, the appliance exerts 100 pounds of pressure for easily removing stubborn 
wrinkles or pressing several layers at a time. Choose between no steam or electronically pumped variable steam. With no steam, the unit can operate as a dry press when working with delicate fabrics; its electronically pumped variable steam delivers a true burst of steam from steam openings that cover the entire pressing area, ensuring the total area receives the benefits of steam.
“Power” and “temperature-ready” indicators take the guess work out of knowing the press temperature. Select from nylon, silk, wool, cotton, or linen settings–the press will remain at a consistent temperature to protect fabrics. If the handle gets left in the down position, an alarm will sound after 10 seconds as a reminder to lift the handle to ensure that fabrics are not exposed to the heating plate too long. For peace of mind, the unit’s automatic shut-off turns off the power if its handle remains in the up or down position for too long. Ample space at the back of the pressing board comes in handy for holding large items as they are being pressed. The portable press comes with a lockable handle for storing in a vertical position, and it weighs only 22 pounds for simple transport. Accessories include a measuring cup, spray bottle, pressing cushion, washable pad cover, and an instruction book. The electronic steam press measures approximately 13 by 24 by 12 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Has already paid for itself!, January 19, 2009
By R. Thompson (Texas)
Worth every penny! DH and I both wear business professional to work each day. At $3.25 per pair of pants, my dry cleaning bill was at least $45 – $50 a week doing both pants and shirts. It was getting ridiculous! So I splurged for this Singer steam press and it has worked out perfectly. I only do the pants (shirts are $1.25 each and it’s worth it to me to drop those at the cleaners bc they are a pain and I simply don’t have the time).
I near-dry the pants and then let them hang overnight. Then I steam press them, half a leg at a time, from the hem to the highest point the presser can go, only doing from the center seam out to the crease. So each pant gets 4 presses. I don’t bother with the tops of the pants or the pleats. They look fine coming straight from the dryer. But if they need it, I’ll use a traditional iron for that. It took some practice, but I’ve got it down to less than 1 minute per pair without rushing. They come out perfect and I’m saving a ton of money. We wear 10 pairs of pants each week. So each week I’m saving over $32.00 on my cleaning bill. In about 2 months, I was already ahead.
My only beef was that the steamer would leave little wet spots on the pants (that dried and no problem). But I discovered that was operator-error. I was steaming for 2-3 seconds and you really only need 1 second. And don’t try to use this for shirts. You’ll spend more time fixing the little creases than if you just used a regular iron. But for my purposes, this thing is a dream!

This is a replacement for a press I had bought used from a unknown brand, and I could not get repaired when the heating element went. I am hoping that with Singer and a service network, that will not be a problem…and the other lasted 10 years anyway.
It takes a little getting used to, and smart use of the dryer, to get the most out of the press. I take linen tablecloths out a little damp, do all around the edges first, then fold in 1/2 and press double. I also use a spray bottle with water, never use the steam. That never has worked well for me. Napkins are a dream!
Pants: Do 1/2 a leg at a time, length wise, missing the seam. For a perfect job around the pocket, I use the regular iron and ironing board.
The press is so quick and easy I do shirts at home, less than 5 mns per, and save $2.75 at the cleaners.
Lastly, we all enjoy ironed sheets: do the top first, then fold length wise in fours, and press firmly.
It seems most of the complaints I have read are from people who did not try very hard!

This is an absolutely wonderful presser. I didn’t think I could find a presser as good as the Singer presser I just wore out, but this one far exceeds my old one. Thank you Singer! This one is lighter weight than the old one and it is much easier on the shoulder. I thought that this would affect the quality of the pressing of the garment, but it doesn’t. I prefer the larger pressing area of the old presser, but am adjusting quite easily. I had been without a presser for a few months, and ambitiously pressed 35 items in one night. I was shocked that my shoulders did not hurt the next day. I truly love this presser, you will too.

I read prior write-ups on this product and I’m glad I did. This is a great help for your ironing. It is easy to use and does a fantastic job. I just use my kitchen table for it to sit on and that works wonders! I am very happy it is worth every penny spent for it!
