Man, look at this thing. Never before have I felt more of an urge to iron. The Siemens Slider S5 is being billed as the world’s first automatic iron. No that doesn’t mean it’ll do the ironing for you, but it will take the guesswork out of iron settings. It features a three-position automatic shutoff and a three section hot zone. I don’t really know what that means, but it sounds steamy.

Sure I’ve never actually had a problem setting an iron, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting to make use of this dubiously advanced piece of hardware. Maybe everything doesn’t need to be state-of-the-art, but who cares?
