I’ve been wanting one of these for awhile! Christmas for me!! I took it to a Tutu Making Retreat and it had a workout with 13 tutu makers using it constant for a week and it never missed a beat. And now they are all looking to buy one themselves :) love it! Show details ·  1

I had a Laurastar for about 15 years and when it wore out. When I brought my next iron I went with another brand for the last 2 years and I hated it. I have just got a new lift the best thing I done. I really forgot how good the Laurastar is I have been ironing everything. The lift is excellent the best ever. Show details ·  1

So far it is preforming very well, no spitting as the other one did and I'm very pleased. However I don't use it every day but when I do I'm very pleased, I'm just hoping this continues as I never want to have to buy another iron and frankly for the cost of it I shouldn't have to. Thank you for replacing my faulty iron I truly appreciate it. Show details ·  1

Such easy ironing – I upgraded after 21 years. This new Laurastar has not disappointed. I can use it from the most delicate fabrics to heavy work clothes with stubborn creases. It handles everything with ease. Ironing is so easy with Laurastar. Show details ·  1

My Appreciation – Very happy working well with linen, cotton and denim. The steaming capacity is better than I could have hoped for. Weight is an advantage as it is not too heavy or bulky. Show details ·  1

Laurastar... You've done it again! – Following the recent purchase of a new Laurastar Lift, which I've only had for a few weeks, it meets all my expectations of a new model introduced by the company. I'm pleased to report that the Lift irons great on all fabrics. One question.... When the tank begins to reduce water, it makes a sound that seems that it could be a fault, but the manual explains that this is normal. Could you confirm please? Show details ·  1

Best iron I have ever used – Light and easy to use and is a very compact appliance which makes it easy to store. Very easy to top up the water when required. Ironing is effortless because you don’t have to keep going over the same spot to remove creases. Very well thought and designed product. Show details ·  1

Excellent - well worth the price – We bought the lift after our 12 year old S4 died. The power from the lift is as good if not better than the S4. In addition to normal clothes, I use it to iron cancan karate uniforms. It irons these with ease. It is compact and easy to move around. My only criticism is the design of the lid on the water tank is poor. I recommend buying a Lift. Show details ·  1

Superb design from a professional company. A time-saving genie – Thank you Mel, at Laurastar, for the in-store demonstration, and patient explanation of the Laurastar system. The Laurastar Red Lift is a premium product and costs more than other steam stations, but there is no comparison when it comes to performance. I ironed my sheets in half the time, and as the "house husband", I valued the flexibility to… Read more ·  1

iron all types of garment without damaging the material. There is a Teflon "shoe" for delicate items, and the way that I used to iron changed, but much so for the better. I vertically steamed my partners woollen work jacket, and straightened some wrinkles on the bed sheets. The double heating system is at the heart of the Laurastar station, explaining the higher price for the technology. The station takes a filter cartridge to extend the life of the sole plate, and keeps the iron clean. I purchased the Comfort board bundle, to sit the iron at the same height as the board. There is much more to say, but that is best left to your visit to the showroom.

Love it, I’ll never go back to cheap irons – This iron is perfect for my ironing. Couldn’t get the creases out of cotton batiks with a regular $150 iron but this one is amazing. I do like the power a dry steam it produces.I also like the design as irons can be very ugly. However I have only had it for a month and already the change filter light has come on.

get much scale in the water so not sure about that. Anyway I do recommend getting one as it’s changed my outlook on ironing.

Ironing no longer a chor!!! – The Laurastar lift has made ironing fun! I can iron shirts with only one pass of the iron. The steam is so powerful that it’s more than halved my ironing time. Best purchase, you won’t regret it!  Show details ·  1

New model is a dream – After my old lift had met with an early demise (after 5 years) due to a run in with the dog (long story) I foolishly thought I might try and save some money by buying a "regular" steam station. Big mistake. The mistake was returned and a cordless iron bought in its place. This was also a big mistake. Mistake once again returned and an… Read more ·  1

expensive "regular" iron bought in its place. Yep you guessed it. Yet another mistake. The aforementioned Irons cost between $100 and $250 and either didn't iron or leaked water everywhere or both. And so after months of trial and error I took my old broken down Laura star back to the shop where I was offered either a reasonably priced repair or a very generous discount for my sorry trade in. So glad I took the trade in offer. I loved Ironing with Laura star before but this new one is an absolute dream. Needless to say. When this ones' time is up I won't be looking anywhere else for a new iron.

Total Disappointment – After paying 450$ and after ending guarantee term look what happens to laurastar main electronic board without any reason. I will buy a miele dishwasher for 450$ and use it everyday and it will last 10 years without any trouble. But laurastar pcb will last 2 year and their service wants half of the new unit price for that card. As an engineer I… Read more

see many design issues, there isn't any reliable heat isolation between boiler and electronic circuits. Their plastics and iron switches are of poor quality. You can easily scratch iron soleplate even with your finger. DO NOT let their flash appearance trick you, when you buy their product accept that you have nothing in your hands after 2 years. For example you pay 20k$ for a car and after 2-3 year their main pcb burned and they wanted 10k$ from you for repair. Hey Laurastar if you want to create a "business value" you have to be a customer centric and that does not mean you can rip off us. Never ever Laurastar again.

Fabulous! Why Wouldn't you have a Laurastar? – I have 4 men in the house. I wash daily & need an ironing unit that can make my life easier. Business shirts are a breeze, jeans quick and easy. I now have the confidence to LauraStar my more delicate items. My husband loves it :-). Show details ·  1

So much better than my old Laurastar – It’s great it gets hot so quick my old one was taking for ever to heat up. It was very tired, but I have had since the nineties so to be expected. Show details ·  1

Great Iron, a pity about the ironing board! – The iron is what I have come to expect from LauraStar - perfect. Beats traditional irons hands down. Halves ironing time. On the other hand, the ironing board is a real lemon! It doesn't sit flat on the floor so constantly rocks. Takes all the ease out of ironing. Show details ·  3

It’s ok but a little bulky – It is quite good with everyday clothes. I can’t seem to get chinos pants don’t very smooth but that could be user error but I can do working pants fine. Really good on shirts and bedsheets. Would be better if not so bulky as finding room to fit it quite hard.  Show details
