With a conventional iron
- I spend a little under an hour to iron 1 work shirt
- I burn my hand occassionally when I don't look before I pick it up
- I burn my shirts occassionally (no holes yet, just unsightly brown spots)
- I get aching calves from standing too long over my ironing load (note to self: schedule weekly ironing sessions, even if it's just 1 shirt)
With a steam iron
- I spend nearly an hour just to "kau tim" 1 shirt which I eventually had to "kau tim" with a conventional iron because the steam iron just doesn't measure up
- I burned my hand and feet too due to the hot water droplets that leaked out from the iron occassionally
- I didn't burn my shirt with the steam iron but heck, please refer to the first point above to see why I ditched it before I even finished ironing 1 shirt
- I get an aching arm from holding the iron up to my shirt to clear up a wrinkle that never goes away
No prizes for guessing which iron I will be using from now on.
