The user clips each piece of clothing onto the machine’s integrated rack, which holds about 15 to 20 pieces. As each item is pulled into the machine another items can be clipped so there is no limit of items. The machine can take shirts, tops, trousers and dresses, but small pieces of clothing cannot be folded, such as underwear and some larger items such as bed sheets.[5][6]
