Standing Steam Iron

One of the house chores that I dislike most is ironing.
Every week we spent around RM15 for ironing service in laundry shop.
For me, the conventional way of ironing cloth using the iron board is so exhausting and so much time wasted while doing that.
Plus, with small kid running around in walker, it can very dangerous too.
Banyak alasan kan :)
Hence, one of my new resolution this year is to become a
DIY-handy-homemaker.
I will try harder to do my own ironing at home. But, in order to do so, I think I need help from this ..Just like the one in department store, ironing works look so much easier with this thing.
What do you think? Will it worth it?
Latest update: I finally got one of this from hubby for my Christmas present in 2017, after 7 long years!
