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

Great! But not a one stop solution. June 8, 2008
My wife bought this pants press for my birthday and I must admit it's the best thing she's ever gotten me. This press takes the guess work out of keeping the beautiful crease in your pants between Dry cleanings. It took some skill to learn how to make sure I did not double crease my pants and I still have to touch up the "seat" area but this makes the process much easier. Just come home drop them in when you get undressed and hang them up when done. The crease is great and the pants look great. I have found that it takes a little time to get the skill of getting the pants in the press correctly but once that is done it works beautifully. I do want to stress however that this is not the tool for removing heavy wrinkles from pants that is not what it is supposed to do. This is a tool to keep your pants looking great and help extend the amount of time you can use them between dry cleanings ( I can generally wear them 3 times and have them look great instead of 1 - 2 with the second being iffy ).

Great Product September 5, 2007
I first bought the Corby 5500, thinking that it was the "original", and has the higher number. But that one was a disappointment (see my review on Corby 5500). So, I exchanged the 5500 for 3300. The 3300 works great, and looks sleek. I use it almost everyday. I might buy another one to put in my office.

Note this is really for wool pants. Won't work well on Kakhis or jeans.

long time satisfied user of this item June 10, 2006

I have had one of these pants pressing things for 20 years now. I am very satisfied with the performance for pressing dress pants (wool). I use is every day when I return from work. Yes you want to be moderately careful about placement of pants into the machine but I have not had a problem with it. It has saved me plenty in dry cleaning bills and the pants last longer since they are not going through the dry cleaning process nearly as often.

realize what you are getting here June 22, 2003

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.
