They didn't stop caring about a pressed shirt. They just stopped standing at the board for it.
Until now there were three options: iron it yourself, pay someone else to, or wear it creased. Airoflux is a fourth. Put the shirt on straight from the washer, press start and walk away. Warm air dries it smooth from the inside.

Nothing hot ever touches your shirt
(so your good clothes can come out of the closet)
Almost everyone has one: the shirt with the brown mark, the trousers with the shiny patch, the blouse that got "just a second too long." And then a few more that stay in the closet because you don't trust yourself with them anymore.
The damage comes from a hot metal plate pressing down on a few inches of fabric at a time. One distraction is all it takes.
No scorch marks from a soleplate
No shiny patches from pressing
No guessing whether this one can take the heat
Airoflux doesn't have a plate. The shirt sits on a soft form, and warm air does the work from the inside. You pick the temperature for the garment, and nothing hot is pressed against the fabric. As always, check the care label first.
Think about it: you already own the shirt, and every week you pay someone to press it. Somewhere between $4 and $9 a shirt, every single visit. Five shirts a week is 260 shirts a year. Multiply that by what your cleaner charges.
And the money is only part of it. There's the Saturday drop-off, the Tuesday pick-up, the counter that closes at 6, the cracked button, the shine on the collar, and the week you wore the creased one anyway.
Airoflux presses your shirts at home on your own schedule, and you pay for it once. The included attachments handle pants and dresses too.
(not a faster iron: one you don't have to stand at)
You work hard all week. Then Sunday evening comes, and so does the pile: five work shirts, the board, the iron, and an hour on your feet while the weekend runs out. Or it's 11pm on a Tuesday and tomorrow's shirt still isn't done. You don't mind looking sharp. You mind what it costs you.
Airoflux doesn't make you iron faster. It takes you out of it. Put the shirt on, press start, and go do something else. Finish your coffee, go to brunch, get out for a run. When you come back, the shirt is done.
If you've ever ironed a shirt and ended up with a brand-new crease down the sleeve, you're not bad at it. Ironing is hard. You're smoothing a 3D shirt one flat patch at a time, and every pass can push a fold somewhere else.
A crease forms when damp fabric dries in a fold. To get rid of it you need warmth, moisture, and the whole garment held in shape while it dries. An iron does one small patch at a time. A steamer doesn't hold anything in place.
Airoflux does all three at once. It inflates the damp shirt from the inside, so the whole thing is held open in its natural shape, collar to hem, while warm air dries it. The water it needs is already in the shirt.
Most people wash, then dry, then iron. Three steps, and the dryer is often what puts the creases in.
With Airoflux, the shirt goes straight from the washing machine onto the form, still damp. Warm air dries it and smooths it at the same time, so it comes off dry and ready to wear.
It does one garment at a time, so it won't replace your dryer for a full load. But for the shirt that has to be ready tomorrow morning:
