Any guys out there use a trouser press at home? Worth the money?
TIA

Ahh, yes, didn't consider there were different ones, sorry! On that page it
would be the Corby 3300 or 4400, that style of press :o)

Hi Ben,
First post here, but I think I may be able to provide some sort of input:
I don't have one, but I try to avoid pressing or dry cleaning my suits
too often because I think it shortens their life. The odd press here and
there is certainly not going to hurt, but I really only press it when
it's been packed up or after travelling.
I normally just hang it in the bathroom when I'm having a shower, works
fine :)
In short, I don't think it'd be necessary, but at the same time they're
not expensive. My Dad has one, but to my knowledge he hardly uses it and
it tends to spend most of the time in a corner in his hallway.
My two cents...

I agree with Gus. However, my mom bought this type

a very long time ago and it was almost never used and she ended up
donating it to a thrift shop.
