Wife 1800 watt steam iron

[DanKegel]

Finding 800 watt iron saves us 1000 watts and that was all I was looking for.

So, which one did you get, and is she happy with it?

[crotalus]

I appreciate all the replies! In order, her golf shorts MUST have creases, her golf collars MUST be pressed, she pulls all iron required clothes out of the dryer early and hangs them in the laundry room, Yes, going solar has taken ove!r! Watts TOD, RPM, gas vs electric, generation vs consumption, all priorities now. Once I get this all down, it should be a lot better.

Let her do her thing. If she wants to spend the time and energy to iron her clothes what is the problem?

If you like this person and she is your friend and you care about her and love her more than your own life, then let her use the iron. You may wake up some morning and the bed is empty. No one to touch or talk to. The only way you can see her is in a photograph or your memory. You will be able to talk to a piece of marble or granite that has an engraving on it, but it won't talk back.

But it was worth it as you saved a few buck and it puts you closer to the richest man in the cemetery.

If I never met you, I wouldn't like you.
If I didn't like you, I wouldn't love you.
If I didn't love you, I wouldn't miss you.
But I did, I do, and I will.

That is why there is Rent-A-Wife. They charge by the hour, by the day, or in my case by the minute.

Those long term leases are tricky to get out of. Sometimes just a test drive will do.

Upgrades in that field can be terribly expensive, although sometimes worth it.

Spouse change out is expensive and overkill, especially if otherwise fit for purpose. Join a naturist resort that has a golf course and amenities. Donate the iron and all the clothes to Goodwill. Problem solved. Bonus: Food stains are easily removed. Drawback: Frying bacon can get tricky.

Buy more panels. Tell her it's to run the iron, that'll make it easy.

Wives are like cars. If Wifey V1 does not suit your needs, upgrade to Wifey V2.

Need to let us know how the wife likes a low wattage iron that takes longer to heat up and doesn't get as hot. You may need to duck behind that couch you are sleeping on when she throws it at you.😉

[foo1bar]

You could ask her to switch to a charcoal iron.

But you might want to make sure the couch is comfortable for sleeping on before you do that.

If this is the worst of your problems, you are a lucky man and should just relax and enjoy the ride....

[DanKegel]

People whose utility imposes residential demand charges may care about clothes iron power draw, too, so you're not alone.

Searching for "clothes iron 1100 watt -travel" on amazon finds one hit, and there are lots of 800 watt travel irons. The 800 watt travel irons are fairly cheap...

(Have you done the obvious replace-all-light-bulbs-with-LEDs etc yet?)

[Raul]

We use a travel iron about 380w I think and is not slow by any means, no complains here.

[Bala]

A lower wattage iron will mean she needs to iron longer so use more power. The only problem is that now you have solar you are letting it control your life, so many people do. Happy wife happy life, let her iron as much as she wants when she wants.
