Automatic iron

Ironing is an odd job that millions of people around the world hate to do. Now a German company has created an exotic device called Tubie that can dry and iron a shirt in just 7 minutes.

Looks like a tool in a car recycling garage, but this inflatable device is actually the 'first hands-free' in the world. This exotic device is described by the German company on its website as 'the best product in the world'. The device works in a fairly simple way by inflating hot air bags to dry and iron clothes, leaving creases and folds on the clothes to disappear.

But the big draw for housewives is that Tubie's price is £ 850, 30 times the price of a regular iron.

The Daily Mail quoted an employee at Tubie: ' Many of our clients use Tubie while watching TV, relaxing or doing other things. After you do a few times, the usage will become easier. We have received positive responses from our customers. Product prices reflect the best quality of it.
