I used to hate ironing. I tried to avoid it at all costs, spent too much money on dry cleaning, hung up too many clothes during an erratic shower-steam session, and eventually invested in a portable steamer that, while sometimes useful, often spewed water all over my outfits. leaving me wet or messy, or both. Still, I continued with these haphazard methods because the woman I wanted to be was under pressure to impress, and honestly, there wasn’t a better solution on the market.
Then I was introduced to the Nori Press, a wrinkle removal product, “designed to easily iron, steam and freshen your clothes… without ironing, leaks or headaches.” Could this device be the real deal? It sounded like a dream for the iron-counter set, so I had to try it out and see for myself.

About the Nori
The Nori (“iron” spelled backwards) is the fashionable cousin of a hair straightener. The double-plated, tongue-like silhouette glides over clothes like a flat iron would over hair. Unpacking the device is quite exciting in itself, as the packaging feels technical and luxurious (and, to be honest, difficult to throw away). The user experience is also a no-brainer: 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 light enough to throw in your bag when you travel. If you choose to use the steam function, filling the Nori, as advertised, is quite easy. You can use tap water or the “Fabric facial treatmentsolution that deodorizes and cleans clothing.
The steamer is designed with enough depth to reach the center of most garments, but I find myself using it for pressing out details such as hems or gathered sleeves and pant legs, straightening shirt collars or cuffs, or removing random wrinkles on garments. formal attire prior to an event. While you can use it with your garment lying flat or hanging, I find it less cumbersome to navigate with hanging clothes. For my anti-iron lifestyle, the Nori is a clear winner.
