I bought this when it was one of the deals of the day at night.

It's pretty simple. You have 2 choices 15 min or 30 min press. You can also cancel them anytime after you've started it. If you have the room this is awesome.

I love the coat hanger aspect so I can put my jacket on it at the end of the day. This is good for the jacket to "air" out, rather than putting it right back in the closet.

This generally works best with normal slacks. Even khaki type of pants work well but not as good as the slacks. It especially gets the wrinkles from behind your knees out. I really hate those wrinkles.

This product is easy to set up and easy to use. It does a GREAT job. Heavily-wrinkled slacks will need 2 30-minute pressings. Considering the price savings for this model versus other models with a 60-minute option, I am more than willing to press the on button twice! This press has already saved me trips to and the expense of the dry cleaner. I highly recommend it.

I am really quite torn about what I think of my new Corby press. I have now pressed about 30 pairs of dress pants and 6 pairs of khakis. I wear a suit to work everyday and a clean press is important to me having used dry cleaners for years.

on the plus side, I hate manually ironing pants; and simply dropping pants into this unit and just pressing a button does make things easier.

I am happy with my unit overall, and I got it at a great deal on amazon, but I would never pay full price for this. Pressing pants at a dry cleaners for a few bucks or with a heavy iron with starch chemicals gives you a clean press which can last for weeks. Also, if you have the space for a dedicated ironing setup, I would go this route instead.

Overall the output of this press seems good, but the length of time the press lasts when worn, after a 30 minute press, even if you remove the pants well after they cool as recommended, is for a very short time. The clean pressed output is gone by lunch since no chemicals can be used between the press plates.

Notes on pants size limitations:

Something I couldn't seem to find even in the manual, are the sizes of pants these units can press in one pass. Having purchased the 4400 unit now, I can say that this unit will only be able to press, in one pass, pants which are a maximum size of:

In-seem = 30 inches
Waist = 38 inches

If you are over 6 feet tall and exceed any of these numbers, you may have a hard time getting this unit to swallow your pants in one press. This seems like a problem since a lot of folks are larger than this. Having to maneuver large pants to get a full press in more than once pass, each position lasting 30 minutes, defeats the purpose of this product.

I have also noticed I need to press my khaki pants twice to get any lasting effects. I just run the unit twice without removing the pants. Still without starch, the press only lasts a few hours on khaki pants.

Question: Can anyone comment if this unit is supposed to get hot all throughout the pressing surface from top to bottom? I find that my unit only gets hot around the top and middle of the press length. The bottom does not get hot at all and I am wondering if my heating element is defective?

It does not remove already existing wrinkles which is what I wanted.

Delivery was very fast and packaging was good.

got this as an impulse purchase when amazon had it on "gold-box" deal. the price was very low.

it does an ok job with 30 minutes setting (15 minutes does nothing). You really have to know how to load it properly - you need to stretch the pants as you set it inside. Only then it does ok. But dont expect dry-cleaner type press....

it looks nice - does not look cheap in the walnut finish. By the way, "W" in the model number stands for walnut, not watts. I read reviews on the internet when someone was saying it was mislabled and there is no way this product can be 4400 watts... funny people.

the verdict: nice to have if you get a bargain price... but I would not buy it again.

The instructions are a bit poor. But once you figure out that the cancel button is also the on button, then your pants come out just right. The first couple of times I used it did not heat up at all. The jacket is kept nice and hung, and the pants are kept nice and pressed, ready for the next day. You can get a suit ready for tomorrow on it too. I am a tall, and my pants still fit nicely, it is not small. If they could just make one for shirts!

Not as good as my previous press that had a 45 minute timer (Other reviews are correct, 30 minutes does not always do an acceptable job).But all in all it's a good value. I DO have to say I am less than impressed with Corby's Customer Service. I wrote them twice about repair parts for my old press and never received a response.

This is not our first pants presser. my husband, son aand son-in-law each have one.
my Husband can't get by without one. They save the day. my husband usually puts pants in the presser a couple of hours before we go out for a freshley pressed look.

Most trouser presses run the gammit of $200-$300+ this is a steal at this price. I ordered 2 . Makes my trousers look fresh from the dry cleaners press. Razor sharp creases, just be sure to take the time to lay them in correctly and flat!

This press will put a nice looking crease in a pair of pants. It will not take a wrinkly pair of pants and make them look like they just came from the dry cleaner. In fact, if you have serious wrinkles in your pants, make sure to smooth them out as best as you can before putting your pants in the press, or the wrinkle might be pressed into your pants and become worse.

I use this press mainly to keep that crease in my pants nice and sharp. It also will take out MINOR wrinkles that might have developed behind the knee, or come from being bunched up on a hanger.

Although it's not a substitute for a proper pressing, it does keep the crease in my pants looking nicer longer, and my visits to the dry cleaner have decreased.
