Whenever I use it, I apply a T-shirt Ironing board with legs. I am not sure if it will work with a Y-frame The ironing board I use to hold Y-shaped pins, but I've seen similar ironing boards that hold legs These boards support the leg.
Although attaching the ironing board can be a little challenging, the ironing board itself is sturdy enough. of the screws provided are not big enough for the piece to stay in place. In order to help, I had to go to the hardware store and get some washers. (There were just a few pennies for each washer.
Rowenta Steamforce 1800W iron with a 5 inch wide faceplate. I also have the Rubbermade iron holder, which has a 5 inch wide side, but will not allow the iron to slid down the sleeve into the crevice. The Better Houseware iron holder is designed to hold up to a 12 inch iron. What size iron fits in it and how wide are the pieces that hold it up? There must be at least five inches of space on both sides.
It should work, but I have no idea. It is 4 on the iron scale There is still enough space for larger irons even though the box is 1/4 by 3 deep.
Selected User Reviews For Better Houseware Iron and Ironing Board Holder, Chrome, 1425
Since I almost didn't buy it because of some of the complaints other reviewers had about it, I thought I'd write a review on it. There were items around the house that needed to be stored in one spot and off the floor. I wanted something inexpensive and simple. As I read the reviews, there are problems hanging it due to the "arches" instead of screw holes in the back. It is also necessary to consider that the brackets of most irons are not wide enough so that they can fit within them, especially once the cord is wrapped around it. In spite of that, I thought since it was free returns I'd give it a try since it seemed like a good value compared to the others I considered. Since they changed the hanging option from an arch to a screw hole, I didn't need to mess around trying to secure it with washers and screws, as other companies had done. As it turned out, it was not wide enough to fit the bottom of my iron with the cord wrapped around it. My only complaint is that the brackets should be wider apart to accommodate bigger irons, so I gave it 4 stars. Having said that, I found that if I placed my iron in with the tip facing downward it worked perfectly. Still, out of the box, I got this to work for me, making it a great holder.
Iron and ironing board holder fits my iron and ironing board just as it is supposed to. (Better Houseware Iron and Ironing Board Holder, Chrome, 1425) It is not fancy, but it looks good, so I can live with that. Because I keep my iron and ironing board at hand as frequently as possible, I just wanted a place for them that was made out of wood and off to the side. Having said that, he did add some plastic wall anchors to make it The iron and ironing board are still securely mounted to the wall in my laundry room after being up a couple of weeks. I have already used the iron and ironing board two or three times.
The majority of reviewers seem to agree with me on this point. As the mounting screws have very small heads, once they are in place, they only prevent the holder from moving. You will simply be able to take the ironing board holder off the wall when you lift it. In addition to the washers others have said and done, I also needed to add washers to each screw to make it truly hold to the wall. Beyond that, it performs the function that it was intended to perform.
This method works well. However, I would not suggest using it for doors unless you want to drill holes into Furthermore, it does not fit well on the wall. As a means of preventing it from slipping over the screws, I drilled screws below and above the mounting bars so that if it was bumped it wouldn't Here is an image of the picture. A screw at the top allows it to hang and a bolt falls below the iron to lock it in place. I like it a lot.
On the price front, I have nothing to complain about. It is a little awkward to use, however, because of its ergonomics. Rather than serving as a mounting place, the screws rest in a resting position. It is kind of hard to explain, but you just have to push up from the bottom to take this holder off. Since it comes off easily (helps to tighten the mounting screws more to secure it. It annoys me a little, but it's not too bad for the price. It might not be a deal breaker, but I wouldn't bet the house on it.
The screws with which it comes have small heads, and they will not suffice to provide a proper mounting system. The screw heads are so small they slipped right through the holes in the big washers because I had so many washers on hand. I had to use two washers for each screw because I had a bunch on hand. I was a little concerned about stacking a small washer over a large washer, but it made a lot more sense. I also worried my Hamilton Beach iron with built-in cord storage would not fit, but it did just fine.
Since I did not add washers, the rack wouldn't stay in shape after I tightened the screws. That was a little frustrating, it was either a poor design or they needed to change the As soon as it is up, it does what it is supposed to do, and the price can't be beat.
I like the overall design, but the mounting hardware is a pain! We had high expectations when we received this unit, but the screws that are included do not appear to be appropriate for the kind of mounting needed for it. The screws and anchors you get are essentially the same. They cannot be threaded through the unit due to its lack of holes. As a result, the unit simply sits on top of the screws that can't be tightened up very much. In order to force the screwhead onto the edge of the unit, you have to force it into the unit and it pops out. A loose bolt just lifts off when the iron is removed if it's left on top of the screws, but keeps sitting on top. Wire clamps made from wall mounts for coaxial cable wires were required to mount the unit. A weird engineering choice to not make loops that allow you to mount the screw properly rather than just making loops to accept the screw.
