For those people who hate wrinkles

I don't care, myself, but others do. A new, portable version, of the Aironox gadget.

The technology utilizes enclosed warm airflow instead of steam, circulating it through lightly dampened clothing (use a misting bottle) to relax the fabric and evaporate moisture. According to the creators, it works with shirts, suit jackets and trousers, dresses, delicate garments, and a variety of fabrics, including linen, modal, cotton, and hemp.

The previous device from Aironox was already fully automatic and dealt with wrinkly clothes in minutes. The only downside was its size and weight, as it was primarily designed for home use, but no one wants to travel with a gadget that takes up half a suitcase. Aironox Go is a travel-friendly version of the company’s first product that is lightweight, compact, and also suitable for air travel.

The device measures 60 x 160 x 190 mm (2.4 x 6.3 x 7.5 in) and weighs 600 g (1.32 lb), making it compact enough to fit in carry-on luggage.

A planned retail price of $249? And it wont even be on the market til August, so no user reviews. Thanks, but I'll just ask the front desk for an iron, if there isn't already one in my room. Or bring my travel steamer, which costs less than $50.

Now I know why I don't worry much about wrinkles. That is really pricey. I pack things that don't wrinkle easily or require ironing. I find that hanging my clothes for the day in the bathroom where I shower while I'm getting ready for the day really helps, too.

"A planned retail price of $249?"

Most Kickstarters are only worth it for the early pledges, here $129. And since this is the second version the usual risk is less.

And yes, there are much simpler, less expensive, ways to do it. I see this more of a Business traveler (where it matters) thing. And in a checked bag at that.

Robert's comment immediately above covers what my thought was, that it seems geared toward a business traveler who needs to look sharp, versus a 'tourist', who has no need to look 'boardroom ready'

Not using the rose tinted glasses anymore?
