I just watched this video and the ease is almost making me emotional, this is exactly what I want! My first job out of school I had to wear business attire and had the shittiest cheap iron. At 10pm every night, my spirits would sink as I realized I had nothing without wrinkles to wear the next day, and I'd spend almost half an hour getting pants and shirt decent. The time for the steamer has come!

If you wanna died some money because you really hate it that much buy a steam closet.

Steaming works well and is easier than ironing, but the hot press + steam from an iron beats just steam

I haven’t touched an iron in years thanks to my steamer

I’ve been using a steamer for the many years too. I had actually never used an iron until I forgot it on a business trip and had to use the one in the hotel room. While there was a learning curve for me and it took a fair amount more time and work, I found the results considerably better than using a steamer. Also, depending on the material, there’s some clothing where the steamer just can’t fully get all of the creases out. Plus, in a hurry, if you need to put a long sleeved shirt on right after steaming it, it will form mini creases on the arms. It’s hard to describe, but basically a bunch of lines will form from the shirt being slightly damp and warm and the arm movement/bending. I didn’t experience this when I ironed my dress shirt and put it on right after.
