Corby 3300 Pants Press in Walnut

Works well, I always have a nice pair of pressed pants. This model only has one time length of 20 minutes, but is sufficient to achieve good results

The Brits have a knack for great contributions for gentleman needs and this is just another example. As a professional it is important for me to look well groomed and this press solves the "hanger crease" dilemma while also allowing me to save from constantly running to the dry cleaners. Used to see this all over the big island on the other side of the pond and loved them. Amazon had a good deal running and I managed to scoop this one up at a decent price. They have a good track record for "being built like things used to be.." and is not a quick disposable appliance. It has a great solid construction; albeit the legs are made of a cheaper plastic. The major parts that count (the heating fold, etc.) are all of good solid construction and quality. Debated between this model and one of the more elaborate - but at the end of the day I didn't really need the additional clocks, timers and bells - just needed it to do its job.I Use it daily, I just lay my pants in while taking my shower and they are crisp, warm and have a nice crease when I am ready to get dressed. Which it does perfectly. Assembly is quite simple and I will likely mount this to the wall when I get some free time. Use is simple and as you become more familiar with the way it operates you can use it for some "off label" pressing; I like to have ironed pillow cases and this fits the bill perfectly. Runs for about a half hour, although you can snag the item out a little earlier if you are in a rush. For anyone who wears wool, satin or other fine fabric slacks/suits each day this a must have item for keeping your pants neatly pressed. Heck, I use it for my jeans and casual attire just because I like the warmth and clean look it offers. Electric rates are through the roof in my area (a suburb outside NYC) and it has not created any spikes in my monthly bill and with the savings for cleaners in the end I think it is a good investment. If you research out the brands, Corby is the best choice and Amazon offers some decent sales on these items from time to time. It arrived well packaged and was a bit of a nuisance to get out of the box, but they did a nice job in protection of the finish. It is a bit heavy because the construction is solid. As always, Amazon got it to my door in lightening speed. All in all, a great purchase and another salute to the Brits for a great innovation.

I've been eyeing a pants press since I noticed that I was paying to have my slacks dry-cleaned mostly because they were wrinkled rather than dirty. At $7 a pop a couple of times a week, the cost was adding up. (My wife understandably hates ironing them.) Setup was easy - it took only a few minutes to attach the feet and top parts. As others have commented, the Corby 3300 is fine as long as your expectations are realistic. It's only meant to press the trouser legs below the level of the crotch, and it does that well. Inserting the pants into the press properly is critical, though - you have to smooth out any folds before and after you place the trousers into the press, otherwise they'll be accentuated. The press has a 30 minute cycle, although I often give it another 15 minutes or so. (There are more expensive models that offer additional cycle times, but I don't think that the added convenience is worth the cost.) Some buyers have complained about shoddy construction. I don't believe that the press is built to take a lot of abuse, but used with care, it should last unless the heating elements, lining. or other parts fail. I've used it about 20 times over the course of a few weeks without noticeable wear so far. I'll add to my review if anything changes. EDIT: Almost three years later, I'm still happy with my Corby, which has held up well. For the past few months, I've been pressing my pants when I'm done wearing them at the end of the day and then hanging them in my closet. It's as if the wrinkles have less time to "set" that way, and I don't have to press them when they're needed next. As I said in my initial review, the Corby does well if you have reasonable expectations — it doesn't press pants as crisply as an iron, but it's a lot more convenient.

Definitely not wrinkle resistance. Did not leave creases. Though I will say if the concept would’ve fully worked it would’ve definitely been worth the money. Bought for my husbands uniforms and he asked me to return it within the week.

I've been using this for a year now - mostly on cotton khakis. Works like a champ. It puts in a nice crease and removes wrinkles so I don't have to iron or pay for cleaning. Washer, dryer, Corby, hanger - done. It also looks nice in the bedroom - kind of classes the joint up a bit. Leave it to the Brits for things such as this that a made for "gentlemen." Very nice - love it.

Everything about this is fine, I just can’t understand why padding didn’t come with it for its legs. The noise it makes every time I move it to clean resembles nails on a chalkboard. 3 stars for this irritation as it is difficult finding pads of its size. Otherwise odd good product.

A magazine article about Ronald Reagan in his later years noted that the crease in his dress slacks were "sharp as a butter knife." Our late president must have had a Corby in his closet. Co-workers have commented to me that I must spend a fortunate at the cleaners. This has been my secret. This is my second Corby. For those men who still wear dress slacks to work, having a Corby in the bedroom will save on dry-cleaner bills and pay for itself in no time.

Very difficult to press pants without getting wrinkles in them.

This unit is a replacement for an old one (same model) where the wiring quit. I took the old one apart and reused a little pull bar that was used for a brush and my belt, stuck it on the top with a special black tape and all works. Electrician tape slipped off due to the heat. I use the press to keep my pants pressed. It does a great job.

Had one made out of solid wood 15 years ago, this one is made cheap hard plastic. I'm surprised Corby would even approve this for customers, made very cheap. This is not the fault of amazon but Corby. Doesn't do its job like the older version. You have to put it in the presser 2x to 3x times. So you need patiences. Is adequate, thank god didn't buy a more expensive one.

It doesn't have the slide-out piece to hang a tie, and the plastic feet are very fragile. The top butler tray also can't hold much. Aside from that, the mechanism itself has some good weight to it, and the heating does work to relax the wrinkles in pants while letting a blazer breathe.

Quick, easy to use trouser press

This is the second time I ordered this pant press that lasted 20 years. The only thing that is different on this one is that the timer offers only 30 m. ,you cannot choose less time . It shouldn’t be a problem. Hope it last as long as the other one .
