My Mangle is made in Germany by Miele. I love it because it irons my fabric so quickly after I have washed. It comes out just right for cutting - I know it is old fashioned, but it sure does the trick for fabric. I don't iron sheets and other things, but I could if I wanted and it goes very fast. My husband saw me ironing by the hour on my fabric to get it ready to cut and he wanted me to eliminate the work of standing all that time. He got me this mangle so I can sit and iron in minutes. It is Wonderful and so is he.
