			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Advantages: simple, quick, full of useful features.<br />Drawbacks: I have no excuses any more.<br />Evaluation: 5/5</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“A man writing a review about ironing? Some people might think me a very good sort of guy… well think again; it’s no big deal. Firstly, I hate all household chores and this is why I’ve bought a dishwasher, a bagless hoover and now recently, this steam iron. I must admit that until now, I had never touched an iron in my life, convinced that ironing is women's work.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So while I was browsing in a store with my beloved for a video game, I just happened to come across a demonstration of this magical iron, the LAURASTAR. And then, the demonstrator started to show us how easy it is to iron shirts, jeans and other clothes. Screwing up all my courage, I went forward to try to iron a shirt. And then disaster struck. I actually succeeded in ironing a shirt! A shot of steam on the sleeves, a quick iron and it’s done. Even better, you can just as easily hang the shirt on a hanger and iron it vertically. As a result, my partner, fascinated by the idea that I had just ironed something for myself, had the bright idea of buying the machine. This is why it was a disaster; it put an end to my excuses…I’m hopeless at it... it takes too long… it’s women’s work. This steam iron is a formidable enemy, guys.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It has a whole host of features: You can use the ironing table’s blower function, creating a cushion of air that takes away the steam and dries the fabric. You can also set the opposite feature in motion, a vacuum that flattens your garment against the table and gives you crease-free ironing. You can also use your iron’s steam function. It maintains a constant pressure and, as I mentioned before, even allows you to iron vertically. The water tank is secured to the legs of the ironing board. Once folded, this steam ironing system can be put away just like any other ironing board.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As regards safety, here too there’s nothing to object to. As the steam is not hot, you can pass your hand under the jet of steam without hurting yourself. You can also leave your iron on the board and make yourself a sandwich without any risk; the iron will not carry on heating and there is no risk of damaging the ironing board cover (this cover, called X-TREMECOVER,&nbsp;is a heat resistant cover).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ironing time is greatly reduced – my record for a shirt, which used to be 20 minutes, is now down to just 2.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I am not exactly sure what new features my iron has compared to the previous model, but this machine is really worth its price.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To sum up, I would recommend this steam iron to anyone who finds ironing difficult; anyone looking for excuses, though, should steer clear of it.&quot;</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On her friends’ recommendation, Claudia from Zurich treated herself to a LAURASTAR iron. Her friends had been fans of LAURASTAR irons for a long time: “It’s a family tradition; ironing with LAURASTAR passes down from mother to daughter. In fact, every young woman setting up home for the first time receives a LAURASTAR iron as a gift!&quot;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This is why, in 2007, Claudia bought herself an <a href="en/products/steam-irons/evolution-i-g5/" target="_top" class="internal-link" >EVOLUTION i-G5</a> steam iron: “Over the past two years, I've developed quite a love of ironing! Now I can iron all types of fabric, such as woollens and silks, which I previously had to take to the dry cleaners!” She also finds that her ironing now takes only a third of the time it used to take with her old iron: &quot;I save an enormous amount of time; it’s all so easy with LAURASTAR; I’m not afraid of ruining garments any more so I save money maintaining my clothes too. I also use my tumble dryer much less, which saves energy and results in less wear and tear on my clothes. Once they’re washed, I just run the steamer over them quickly and they’re ready! My clothes are also more comfortable to wear when they’re ironed!”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Claudia’s favourite features on her iron are the steam function and <a href="en/products/accessories/ironing-accessories/softpressing/" target="_top" class="internal-link" >SOFTPRESSING</a> soleplate: &quot;It was a friend who convinced me to use the&nbsp;protective soleplate to iron delicate fabrics. Before, I was afraid of ironing this type of clothes for fear of ruining them and having to throw them away. One day, I tried it out with one of my delicate garments and I was really surprised! The result went way beyond my expectations – the garment was simply perfect!” Claudia is also impressed by the continuous-fill feature: &quot;I also like the fact that I can fill the water tank at any point whilst I am ironing&quot;. This means that I don’t have to switch off my iron and wait before I can carry on ironing. In fact, this saves me a lot of time”.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Claudia strongly recommends LAURASTAR to her friends and family: &quot;I would advise anyone who doesn’t have time to iron to get a LAURASTAR. I would never have believed I could iron so much in such a short time. As I wash and iron everything myself, I take pleasure in being able to wear some of the delicate clothes I hardly ever wore before. I don’t have to think twice before washing them now!”</p>
