Would you spend $200 for an ironing board?
-
No.
An ironing board is still an ironing board. -
wow! ya I won't spend $200 on a board too. Unless it can last you for several years? One average ironing board can last me for pretty long. Easily over a year or two. Just that we have to change the cover maybe every 8months or less.
I think the cost benefit don't really match for a $200 ironing board. Two ironing boards = 1 ipad air with data plan. Perhaps that might be a good comparison to bring my point across
-
No. My iron doesn't even cost that much, let alone the board
-
Mine came together with the iron and cost 10x more.
To me its well worth the $ since i only iron once a week, 2-3 hr and clear the whole family’s clothing eg. hub & mine work clothes, children’s school uniform x 3 etc… -
What’s the cost of a lower-end basic board? And what’s the difference in quality, functionality etc between the lower-end and higher-end? I can’t even remember how much mine cost, and since I’ve had it for over 15yrs (since moved into this flat), the cost will be out of date. It’s a basic type, probably bought at an NTUC, and it’s served me well.

Does your ironing board have features like: adjustable height, wide width for ironing T-shirts, a good quality cover, warranty,etc.?
Looking forward to your sharing.

It’s not about whether $200 is too much for an ironing board. We all know how long our $50 ironing boards can last. Mine’s a hand-me-down from my mom…
Like any branded item, buy it if you like it and can afford it. If household income is high and you don’t usually buy branded luxury items for fun, just buy the branded board to make yourself happy. Just be sure about it and not regret the purchase.
Think about it, it’s just a one-time investment which can potentially last you the next 20 years and $200 won’t make you any poorer or richer. -

OT: What are the items ie electrical appliances that can potentially last for about 20 years?

My post was saying the $200 branded board can last maybe 20yrs (coz my mom's board is almost that age). Not talking about electrical appliances.
