Brabantia Iron Flex Guide - Black

Quality product with well thought out design features. Clamps easily and securely to back of ironing board, fully ajustable clamp, should fit any model (my board isn't Brabantia). Tall wire keeps flex out of the way as you iron and secure clip at the top keeps flex secure with a smooth, rounded top (to ensure you don't poke yourself in the eye!). Really does save time and frustration as flex doesn't ruck clothes as you iron. Folds down easily after use. Just a small concern, my iron cord is quite thick,so I have to push it into the clamp at the top of the wire quite hard, which may cause fraying after a while. Still well worth 5-stars for the quality and price.

If it's possible to love a iron flex guide, then I do! I'm pretty sure it will fit most ironing boards and most irons although it's possible that there might be exceptions. This is a really useful item which holds the flex up high. The only thing I don't like is that I can't leave the clamp on the board all the time and have to put it on each time I do ironing but I can live with that!

I’ve had this model of flex guide for years, using it with regular steam irons and, more recently with steam generators. In truth, it wasn’t really suitable for steam generators as the holder was not wide enough, but it did the job, until a week ago, my old one broke. It really wasn’t big enough. I had no hesitation buying a direct replacement, except this isn’t a direct replacement, despite appearances. Firstly the board clamp is much bigger, so it doesn’t fit the board the same - the board doesn’t close fully with it fitted. Not to worry, it closes close to completely, I’ll just move the storage position. Second: The flex holder has been rotated 90 degrees from the old one. I needed to move the holder through 90degrees to combat that. Now it doesn’t fold along th length of the board. I have to detach it and move it just to put the board away. Not good and a bit of a hassle, but no biggie. Third, and this is the deal breaker, the flex holder no longer holds the flex securely. It pops out every few seconds and makes it useless. No doubt, it wasn’t designed for my type of steam generator, but neither was it’s predecessor. After 1 fruitless use, I have consigned this to the good idea but folder and have ordered something else. If you have a steam generator, you might wish to avoid this like the plague

I cannot remember who made the original one but the flex of the iron ran up through what looked like a long coiled spring which was secured to the ironing board and the spring bent whatever way was necessary when ironing. As to the packing. The support for the iron was the thickness of a knitting needle and 2 foot long or so, yet it arrived in a box about 4 foot by 3. Bravely manhandled to my door by the delivery man, the bottom of the box was soaking wet and disintegrated when we touched it. At first we both thought the box was empty as we could not feel anything inside it -then amazed on discovering this thin 'knitting needle' crouched in a corner!

This iron flex holder does exactly what it claimed in the advertisement, I have found that I never seem to be in a convenient place when ironing with the flex constantly pulling against the board, this eliminates all of that, my only criticism is that it could be slightly shorter, ironing boards have to be stored in cupboards and this would be easier if the flex guide was slightly shorter. Works very well though.

This iron flexholder is so well designed and does what it says on the package. I used to have to clip my 20 year old one on the ironing board every time I wanted to use it but not this one. It is a permanent fixture on the ironing board but it folds flat along the top of the board when not in use. When you want to use you just click it into an upright position and off you go. The clip that holds the flex could be a little more forgiving when you try to get the flex in but other than that, it's great.

This flex holder totally transforms the ironing experience! I used to have such a gadget years ago and lost it, then tried a plastic one which broke immediately. A Google search found this Brabantia cord holder and although only supposed to fit onto Brabantia ironing boards (which mine isn't) it does actually clamp on and stay in place OK. Perhaps not as solidly made as my original, but it's infinitely better than the previous plastic one. It really does take the frustration out of ironing, when your cord keeps getting stuck somewhere and slows down the process. Recommended.

I have always used a very old flex guide inherited from my mother because I couldn't find a good modern one. This Brabantia is good quality and does the job perfectly. It folds down for easy storage and I would assume it would fit almost any ironing board. I know from past experience with the company; if there was ever an issue with it Brabantia would give excellent service.

Un piccolo accessorio che rende facile la stiratura. L'applicazione all'asse da stiro è facilissima e grazie alla possibilità di piegarlo, non occorre smontarlo ogni volta, ma si può lasciare applicato. Me lo invidiano tutti!

Accessoire indispensable pour le confort d'u repassage sans fil qui traine sur le linge. Conception et utilisation parfaite. Très simple et bien pensé. A voir dans le temps pour la solidité, mais première impression positive

Es para el cable la plancha, y me funcionó muy bien, ya no se arruga la ropa al planchar por culpa del cable, la calidad de los materiales es excelente!!!!!!!!

Dieser Kabel-Halter ist hervorragend zu gebrauchen und im Verhältnis zu den geringen Anschaffungskosten eine unglaublich große Erleichterung beim Bügeln. Das Kabel liegt nicht mehr am Boden, verhakt sich nicht mehr am Bügelbrett oder liegt nicht mehr auf zumeist dem Teil der Wäsche, die man schon gebügelt hat und die damit wieder "verfaltet". Er wird z.B. an dem Metall festgeschraubt, auf dem das Bügeleisen ruht oder kann auch am Brett selbst festgeschraubt werden. Das Kabel hängt damit immer hoch, stört nie und die Stange ist flexibel genug. Wie bei allen Produktion im Netz, deren Preis nicht hoch ist, sollte man auf das Verhältnis zwischen Produkt und Versandkosten achten. Die sind im Verhältnis immer viel zu hoch. Manchmal gar höher. Der Halter ist in jedem Fall empfehlenswert.

Soy aficionado a los juegos en Internet y necesitaba un soporte para el cable de mis auriculares con micrófono que uso para jugar y no encontraba nada adecuado en los departamentos de Informática. Así que me puse a buscar en la sección de accesorios de electrodomésticos soportes para cables de planchas y este me ha servido fenomenal. Era lo que buscaba.
