I used to hate ironing. Avoiding it at all costs, I spent too much money on dry cleaning, hung too many clothes in a hit-or-miss shower steam session, and then finally invested in a portable steamer that, while sometimes helpful, often spewed water on my outfits leaving me either wet or disheveled, or both. Yet I persisted with these haphazard methodologies because the woman I wanted to be was pressed to impress, and, frankly, there was no better solution on the market.
Then, I was introduced to the Nori Press, a wrinkle-remover product, “designed to press, steam and refresh your clothes with ease… no board, leakage or headache included.” Could this device be the real deal? It sounded like a dream for the iron-adverse set, so I had to try it out and see for myself.

About the Nori
The Nori (“iron” spelled backward) is a hair straightener’s fashionable cousin. The double-plated, tong-like silhouette glides over clothes as a flat iron would over hair. Unboxing the device is quite exciting in and of itself since the packaging feels techy and luxe (and, to be honest, hard to throw away). The user experience is a no-brainer too: You’re greeted with an LED screen that lets you choose the heat setting for six fabrics (poly, silk, wool, cotton, denim, or linen); the tool takes about three minutes to heat up and is lightweight enough to throw in your bag for travel. Should you choose to utilize the steaming capability, filling up the Nori is, as advertised, quite easy. You can use tap water or try the company’s “Fabric Facial” solution, which deodorizes and sanitizes clothing.

The steamer is designed with enough depth to reach the center of most clothes, but I find myself using it for pressing out the details like hems, or wrinkled sleeves and pant legs, straightening up collars or cuffs on dress shirts, or removing random wrinkles on formal attire ahead of an event. While you can use it with your garment lying flat or hanging up, I find it less cumbersome to navigate on hanging clothes. For my anti-iron lifestyle, the Nori is a clear winner.
