Hi Kate,
since our frantic frocking I#m seriously contemplating steam generator. Have
you got one already? I read on the German household ng that this one:
http://www.plus.de/Clatronic-Dampfbuegelstation-DBS-3187-R/de_vpd-45928900-jwcKAYCLu9oAAAEkZ0EznwBU-VnoKAYCLnYQAAAEjfkwVfFtB-ct.html?PageNumber=&PageableName
isn't too bad and they've got it this week at our local Ratio store (shop
for retailers), or one similar to it, for EUR 29.99 plus 19% tax. I think
I'll get that one and if you want one, too, I could get it and ship it. Just
holler. ;-)
U.

I just looked and it's the DSB 3278 that's on offer. No idea where the
difference is.

Looks very good, and it seems you got the last one. ;-) I bought two of the
ones from the link above; one for me and one for my mom, as a x-mas/birthday
present (hers is on 26 December). She does all the ironing for me (not much,
the occasional blouse and shirt, a couple of hankies and tea towels), plus
her own, and uses a steam iron with not the best results. I thought that if
the steam generator works, fine, I might even return to do my ironing myself
and give her a break; and her work will be much easier. After all her DH
wears shirts all the time which have to be ironed. And the thing has a steam
brush, which looked like just the thing you recommended for dress and
jacket. And if it's crap or I can't get used to the priciple, fine, no real
loss.
A friend has a steam generator from Vorwerk and claims that this halves the
time she needs for ironing. That precious gem is no longer made, but it was
on sale for about 1000.- EUR. She got it - a lot cheaper - via her DSIL who
works with that company. They make really durable vacuum cleaners and other
high end stuff, but you get the bags only from their salespeople who come
and visit. The little darlings must be really good, I didn't find a single
one on Ebay. Anyway, the dress will go out for a final ironing/steaming
nonetheless, since I don't want to mess it up. ;-)

Oh, it'll be fine. :) Once converted, you'll never go back!

As said elsewhere, I do that too at times... :)
