Tools and Hardware Reviews of SINGER ESP-2 Electronic Steam Press
Customer Review: A great time saver
Summary: 5 Stars
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!
Customer Review: Singer ESP-2 Electronic Steam Press
Summary: 5 Stars
This Singer ESP-2 Electronic Steam Press is great; much better than a hand-held steam iron or an upright clothes presser--both of which I have been using. My 4x4-foot kitchen table worked well as a foundation for the steam presser. I have ironed three pairs of Docker's trousers and four long-sleeved shirts since I received the steam press. The Docker's trousers are heavy weight 100% cotton and are difficult to iron with any machine, but this steam press made the task much easier. The shirts are 100% cotton and have a special weave that also defies ironing, without the use of starch; but, again the steam press came to my rescue. Efficient use of the Singer Steam Press requires a small learning curve, but the process can be painless--especially if you keep your hands from rising up against the top presser. This product was received on the predicted delivery date and the outside and inside packing materials were sufficient to protect the product from damage.Customer Review: Singer ESP-2 Electronic Steam Press
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Customer Review: Terrific press
Summary: 5 Stars
I just received the ESP-2 from Amazon today. The service from Amazon was great. Free shipping got it here in 2 days.
The press works great. I pressed 3 pairs of pants in 15 minutes the first try. I am still practicing on the best technique, but the steam works great and a bit of starch gave the pants some crispness.
The alarm was not bothersome, just keep the press down less than 10 seconds. The press warms up in just a few minutes. The press appears to be well made and hopefully will have good durability.
Customer Review: Couldn't be happier
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this steam press to save time in the construction of hand bags. I have a small business and hesitated to make the purchase but I am very happy I did. The machine is perfect for my needs, easy to use and does a beautiful pressing job on seams that are bulky with quilt batting. For those who are comtemplating taking "the plunge" for a professional look for your sewing projects--go for it.
I have saved myself hours of pressing time. Should have done this two years ago!
