    I don't know why but now I have a vision of opening my sock drawer and finding a neatly creased Alistair Dabbs grinning at me through clenched teeth...

    Does it work for people who don't wear T-shirts only?

    Or their target market is the T-shirts wearer only, with $2000 in the jeans pockets? It looks to me also the "ironing" part is missing, which is the one I'd like a machine would take care of...

      If you move directly from the drier to folded/hanging, Ironing is not really necessary, unless you desire sharp creases.

      When I were a lad, I would "iron" dress shirts by dampening a sleeve and throwing it in the drier - it came out with no wrinkles, suitable for wearing.
