The Ironing Press Company | Ironing Presses | Ironing Presses with Stand

The Speedypress SteamRise 8000 steam ironing press with stand is designed to make ironing faster, easier, and more efficient than a traditional iron. With a large pressing surface and powerful bottom-up steam system, this clothes press delivers consistent, professional results across a wide range of fabrics. Ideal for both home and light commercial use.

The Speedypress SteamRise 8000 is an advanced steam ironing press designed to handle large volumes of ironing quickly and efficiently. Unlike a traditional iron, it uses a wide pressing surface and powerful steam system to press garments evenly in one action. This allows you to complete ironing in far less time while achieving consistent, professional-quality results. The included stand allows comfortable use while sitting or standing, making it suitable for longer ironing sessions.

Key Benefits

The large 81cm x 29cm pressing surface gives you significantly more coverage than a standard iron, helping you press more fabric in each movement. This makes it easier to handle larger items such as bedding, duvets, and table linen.

The SteamRise system generates steam from below, allowing it to rise through fabrics. This helps relax fibres more effectively and remove creases from thicker materials without excessive moisture. Combined with consistent steam output and boost capability, this results in faster ironing and a more even finish.

Ease of Use

The SteamRise 8000 is designed to be simple and practical to use. The pressure-sensitive handle allows you to apply the right amount of pressure without effort, helping reduce strain on your arms and shoulders.

Fast heat-up in just 2 minutes means less waiting, while the large water tank can be refilled during use for uninterrupted ironing. Clear controls allow you to adjust settings easily for different fabric types.

Is an ironing press faster than using a conventional iron?
Yes. The pressing plate is much larger than a standard iron, allowing you to press more fabric in one movement. This makes ironing significantly faster. Many customers reduce their ironing time by up to 75%, especially when pressing items such as shirts, trousers, bedding, and duvet covers.

Are ironing presses easy to use?
Yes. Ironing presses are designed to be simple and practical to use. After a short period of practice, most users feel confident operating them. Simply position the garment, lower the handle, and let the press apply consistent heat and pressure for effective crease removal.

Can I iron shirts with an ironing press?
Yes. Shirts are one of the most commonly pressed items. Once you are familiar with the process, a standard shirt can usually be pressed in around 1–2 minutes, making it much quicker than using a conventional iron.

Can a steam ironing press also be used as a dry press?
Yes. All steam ironing presses can also be used as dry presses without water. This is ideal for lightly creased garments or when fabrics are slightly damp.

What fabrics can be pressed with an ironing press?
Ironing presses are suitable for a wide range of fabrics when the correct temperature setting is selected, including:

Cotton
Linen
Wool
Polyester
Silk
Nylon

Always choose the appropriate setting to ensure safe and effective results.

Can an ironing press press multiple layers of fabric?
Yes. Many fabrics can be pressed in multiple layers, helping you complete ironing more efficiently. Depending on the material and thickness, up to four layers can often be pressed at once.

Do I need a stand for an ironing press?
No, a stand is not essential. Ironing presses can be used on any stable surface. However, a stand can provide a more comfortable working height and improved stability, especially during longer ironing sessions.

Do ironing presses use more electricity than a regular iron?
No. Most ironing presses use a similar amount of energy to a conventional iron. Because they complete ironing more quickly, they are often used for less time, which can help reduce overall energy usage.

How long should the press be closed when pressing garments?
In most cases, 2–4 seconds is enough to remove creases. Thicker fabrics may require slightly longer. The exact time depends on the fabric type, thickness, and temperature setting.

How much pressure does an ironing press apply?
When fully closed, many ironing presses apply up to 100 lbs of even pressure across the garment. This consistent pressure helps deliver fast crease removal and crisp, professional results.

How should I store my ironing press?
Most ironing presses include a locking system that keeps the plates securely closed when not in use. This allows for safe storage either flat or upright, helping save space.
