Tools and Hardware Reviews of Corby 3300 Pants Press, BlackCustomer Review: realize what you are getting here Summary: 2 Stars
It's important to realize what you are getting here. If you are looking for something that will approximate a press from a good dry cleaner, fuhgeddaboutit. If you are looking for a "good enough" touch-up press, stretching out your wearing intervals between professional cleanings, you may be happy, but in the end the word I would use to describe performance is Mediocre.
The comments that:
1. it creases one leg more than the other
2. it requires careful placement of the pant legs to avoid extraneous creases
3. It only works on creases below the pockets (i.e. the backs of the knees)
4. you are better off with a good iron (if you are skilled)
are all true.
Having said that, if you
1. place the pants in it carefully and correctly,
2. use it EVERY time you wear them (two wearings gets them too wrinkled) and
3. are willing to iron the top area of the pants (get a high end Rowenta iron for this if you are smart),
then the Corby can be moderately effective in helping you stretch cleaning intervals.
I have one of these at home, and I have also used these at hotels. I still use mine, but I understand its significant limitations. Anyone who tells you this is a complete solution by itself is either not very picky at all, has an exceptional unit, or works for Corby. You will have to decide if it's "good enough" for you.
Good luck with your decision.
Description of Corby 3300 Pants Press, BlackEnsure a clean, wrinkle-free look everyday with the Corby 3300 Pants Press. With this model, a 30 minute timer will alert you when your pants have been fully pressed, though an automatic cut-off and manual cancel option are also provided. You are able to track the temperature at which the press operates due to a thermostat that is included. A wall mount option with included accessories gives you the opportunity to hang this pants press. The press can be situated to your liking due to its 6 foot power cord, while an ETL/cetl. certification gives you the peace of mind that this press meets electrical safety requirements. A convenient dish located at the top of the press allows you to store pocket contents. Available in either a Black Ash or Walnut finish, both with black trim, this sleek looking pants press will be sure to keep your pants looking professionally pressed. A pants press, like this one from Corby, is a liberating tool for the self-sufficient snappy dresser. Easy to use and safe on any material you would normally iron, the press smoothes wrinkles out of both pant legs at once in one simple 30-minute pressing session. To operate, you simply place the pants between the two plates, close the securing levers, and press the power button. Even pressure is created by the cushioned heating pad and solid wood pressing plate, with an extra-deep section at the base to protect cuffs and hems. Ribbed stretcher bars at the opening gently pull trousers taut before pressing to remove behind-the-knee wrinkles. The press automatically shuts off after 30 minutes, and pants can safely be left inside until needed. This model comes with a simple power pad and a small built-in dish for keys and coins. Corby designs the press to be freestanding or wall-mounted with the included hardware. It comes with an optional jacket hanger and removable feet that measure 13 inches long. --Emily Bedard
