Machine to take the pain out of ironing: This device can press 12 separate pieces of clothing at once and gets them done in three minutes

The Effie is a state-of-the-art machine that will dry and iron your clothes straight from the washing machine, so you don’t have to. Are you tempted.

In the future, technology could end up eliminating a large number of household chores. Robot vacuum cleaners are already among us, however they currently only make up 10% of the vacuuming market.

But according to a YouGov poll conducted in October 2016, it’s not vacuuming that’s the most hated chore of them all – it’s the ironing. So it seems a machine like Effie, a domestic automaton that does the ironing for you, could be incredibly well received. But the £699 price tag could put it out of the reach of many people. A terrible iron will struggle to take the creases out of your clothes. But you can take the pain out of this dreaded chore by picking up a Best Buy iron.What is the Effie? The Effie looks like a futuristic, slim cupboard on wheels. It requires no plumbing and has the capability to iron up to 12 items in one go. You can add wet clothes straight from the washing machine, and the Effie should dry and iron each garment in six minutes. If the clothes are already dry, ironing should only take three minutes. And it doesn’t just do shirts. This machine will press the creases out of bedding, skirts, t-shirts, trousers, dresses and more. It will also be able to dry (but not iron) small garments, such as your socks and underwear. The power used, according to the inventors, is equivalent to a hairdryer. You can also add a scent to your clothing, if you wish. The Effie can be pre-ordered from March 2018 for a special early price of £699 – those taken by the idea should head over to helloeffie.com and register their interest. Deliveries are currently estimated for the end of 2018, and it’s not currently known how expensive it will be in the future. But is £699 too much to pay to get out of the ironing?
