meet effie: the world’s first domestic automated ironing machine

fed up with ironing? so are rohan and trevor, creators of hello effie. the all new effie iron is the world’s first domestic automated ironing machine. the design functions as an iron, steamer as well as a drying. ‘iron effie’ can iron your clothes by contacting them and pressing the creases out, emulating the steam ironing process. ‘steam effie’ pushes steam into your more delicate clothes without touching them, allowing the wrinkles to simply fall out. finally, ‘dry effie’ dries items more gently than a tumble dryer by moving hot air over the clothes, leaving them undamaged.

effie requires little to no installation — just store it in the corner, and easily roll it to where you want to use it

operation effie can take up to 12 items at once — simply hang all of your garments up on the exposed rail, and after clicking ‘go’, sit back as each item is treated one by one. without having to split your loads or separate your colors, just take them straight from the washing machine and let them be dried and ironed. the garments are treated with a patent pending pressing system that contacts your clothes to remove the wrinkles. it uses a perfect combination of heat and steam to ensure that it does not burn or damage your clothes, but still leaves them creaseless and ready to wear.

the clothes need to be loaded onto the specially designed hangers

each hanger can adjust to fit the size of the garment, and holds the item in exactly the right configuration to remove all of the creases

effie has no complicated settings, just a simple click of a button to start

choose from a number of pod scents to add a fragrance during a cycle
