Miele Original B 990 Rotary Iron with Wide Heater Plate, 120 V

We have summer guest cabins: I have at least 15 pillowcases to iron a week, and I've got some 100% cotton sheets I never use because they need ironing to look good. This Miele Rotary Iron is easy to operate, and I feel very special while I'm using it. Yes, it makes me feel like I'm rich. It does an excellent job, exactly what I wanted. You have to pre-dampen the laundry, but I was doing that anyway: spray with water, roll up and put in a plastic bag for a bit so the dampness evens out. It was much wider than I expected because I didn't read the specs before ordering, I just knew I wanted one. I thought it'd be about 18 - 20 inches wide, but it's 38 inches wide (folds down to 20 inches for storage). This width is wonderful because that's what makes it a serious piece of equipment, not some little Suzy Homemaker replica of what I really needed. Because of the size I'm going to have to find a special spot for it. I'll probably fold up my ironing board and put the Miele where it is now; I never iron clothes, just all those pillowcases, so don't need the ironing board. Because it weighs 82 pounds, they take the shipping very seriously. It came double-boxed with foam surrounding the inner box and a wood pallet under it, inside the outer box. It's delivered by a freight company, not package delivery or the post office. Shipping was free on this order. You might think you have something better to do with 2000 bucks, but if you love the feel of crisp, ironed sheets, this is totally worth it. And don't forget a nicely ironed tablecloth for those family holiday dinners.

The worst product I have ever purchased. Broke within 30 days. Have had the run around from Amazon and Miele ever since. I have spent there last five months trying to get this returned, exchanged or repaired with no luck. Technicians have been to my home four times trying to fix this but have not succeeded. It's a worthless piece of junk. I'm out over $2,000.00. You would think Amazon would care enough to make a customer happy. I should have just returned it during the return window but I tried to get it repaired instead. Amazon won't budge!

Love it! Once I wrestled it out of all its packaging and cleaned it thoroughly (it arrived with a coating of factory greasy grime), it was a quick setup and was ready to iron! I started with the easy things - got several dozen linen napkins ready for Thanksgiving and upcoming parties. It was fast and easy. Table cloths, pillow sheets and bed sheets quickly followed. I tried a few shirts and it didn’t seem like the best tool for the job, but maybe I’ll master that with some practice. It will surely pay for itself over time while doing a better job than most of the linens sent to the dry cleaners!I haven’t yet decided if I should have gone the extra mile and purchased the model with steam, but I don’t dry much of the laundry, so I expect I will be happy with my decision with this purchase. I agree with other reviews that it would benefit from wheels that swivel, but I love that it can collapse and roll right into the closet for storage. Well worth the investment!

We use it to iron sheets, pillow cases, napkins, etc. at our Alaska Heritage House B&B in Fairbanks, AK. We iron these items to match the customs of the day in our restored home on the National Historic Registry (Mary Lee Davis House). The iron is ten times faster than hand ironing and at least twice as fast as a table top steamer iron. We had an old Bendix mangle that broke and can't be fixed. The old Bendix allowed the operator to pause the rotary wheel to set a fold, and the new Miele does not. To set a crease, the item needs to be run through twice. Overall, this is a hugh labor saver for us and was worth the extra shipping cost to get it to AK.

El producto es muy bueno pero tiene una pata dañada y pesa mucho para return y nadie resuelve todo en Amazon se convierte en mensajes para aquí y para allá yo aconsejo que nadie compre en Amazon nada que pese mucho
