We were expecting some sort of crazy futuristic robot that we could set up in front of an ironing board and charge with pressing our entire wardrobe, but the Dressman can only iron one thing: dress shirts (which isn't so bad). Anyway, it's basically a mannequin that you pull a shirt over (the shirt has to be still damp from being washed), and that then inflates with air to press the shirt flat while warm air dries it.
