How long does it take to iron clothes? If you ask me, I’ll say an hour or more, depending on the number of articles I have to iron. But there is a new machine on the market that does so in 60 seconds to end my woes. In addition, it steams and sanitizes garments for a professional finish that I love. Dubbed Einsen, the automated ironing device is currently the subject of a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter. As per the makers, “The device steams and presses your garments using a patented 3D ironing system for an exceptional level of precision and smoothness.”
From a design perspective, the Einsen automated ironing device looks starkly similar to a home printer. As a matter of fact, it functions in the same way, too. Simply place the wrinkled garment on the back surface of the device, and let the system do its work. Einsen’s auto-feeding system uses internal rollers to guide garments through the machine. “Once inserted, the purpose-built hanger is automatically driven forward, sleeves are rerouted to a lower track, and the fabric is kept wrinkle-free throughout,” state the makers.
The next step involves collecting your crease-free cloth, like you would collect the finished page from a printer. Measuring 29 inches long and weighing 33lbs, the machine is heavy and not compact compared to the traditional irons we own. When we think of it as a countertop device like an RO or a microwave, it’s considerably space-saving. It doesn’t look that bad either, thanks to the black aluminum finishing that blends well with any backdrop.
On the technical front, Einsen produces steam that reaches up to 200 degrees Celsius. Unlike ordinary steamers, it’s dry, superheated steam. “This enables multi-layer penetration, releasing even the most stubborn wrinkles without leaving garments damp,” the company suggests. The irons we generally use require a series of manual maneuvers, constant flipping, and repositioning in the pursuit of a perfect crease. On the flip side, the Einsen automated ironing device is designed to automatically feed, steam, and press your garments to achieve smoothly ironed clothes without manual adjustments or extra effort.
As is the case with most appliances these days, Einsen comes with a companion application. The Einsen app lets me customize settings based on the garment’s fabric, size, or type, with modes like Hygiene, Eco, or Refresh. The app’s user-friendly interface makes it simple to switch between settings, and with a heat-up time of just 2-3 minutes, it fits seamlessly into your busy mornings.
One thing I particularly loathe about irons is how prone they are to overheating and short circuits. Einsen’s got me covered in this regard with a cool-touch outer shell, advanced safety sensors, and an auto shut-off feature. The small inlet design adds an extra layer of protection, making it safe even if I’m distracted watching a nail-biter game on TV.
As aforementioned, the automated iron also features a ‘Hygiene mode’. Using superheated steam, the device sanitizes clothes without chemicals, which is perfect for refreshing items between washes or dry cleanings. While it’s not meant for stain removal, it’s a worthy appliance for keeping my wardrobe fresh, especially for pieces like blazers or coats that don’t require frequent deep cleaning.

From a size perspective, Einsen handles everything from XXS to XXL, so I know it’ll work for my entire family closet, from my smallest tops to my bulkiest outerwear. If you’re as fed up with ironing as I am, I would recommend that you check out Eisen’s Kickstarter page. The only downside of the smart appliance is its cost. Einsen is selling the automated ironing device for a $1,199 early bird price. If you fail to snap up a model now, the retail cost is expected to go well above $2,000.
