Laurastar sells a particular answer to a familiar clothes-care problem: instead of pairing a household iron with a separate board, its all-in-one systems put the ironing surface and steam technology together. That can make the setup feel more considered, but it also makes the purchase more specialised.
We looked across the UK store’s Go, S Pure and Smart ranges, then checked the separate board offering. The useful question is not whether Laurastar has polished equipment. It is which parts of that format genuinely help, and whether you need them often enough to justify the space and commitment.

The short version
- Laurastar Go is the straightforward entry point for an integrated ironing system.
- S Pure Xtra suits regular ironing when a more feature-led system is the priority.
- Smart U is the connected choice, with an ironing assistant built into the range.
- Comfortboard Glasses is a practical route for buyers who need the board rather than a whole system.
- The limitation is clear: these are larger, more dedicated purchases than a basic iron and board.
How the range is built
The store groups the main offer around complete systems. That matters because the board is not an afterthought: it is part of the working surface, storage decision and overall footprint. The brand also emphasises steam technology and clothes care, so the range is aimed at people who want a repeatable setup for shirts, workwear and delicate garments.
- Go keeps the proposition focused on the core Laurastar system format.
- S Pure moves toward a fuller set of ironing-system features.
- Smart adds a connected ironing assistant to the equipment.
- Separate boards and accessories let existing owners change one part of the setup.
That structure is a strength for buyers who already know they want a dedicated station. It is less compelling if ironing is occasional and a compact appliance is more important than a stable, integrated surface.
The most useful comparison is between the system families, rather than between every colour or configuration on the store. Check the current listing for what each version includes before choosing.
The system choices
Laurastar Go is the clearest starting point. The brand describes the Go range as a way to discover its ironing technology, which makes it the sensible fit for someone who wants the all-in-one idea without starting with the most connected part of the range.
For a more developed system, Laurastar S Pure Xtra sits in the S Pure family. The store describes S Pure systems as bringing together Laurastar’s major technological options. That points to a better fit for frequent ironing, although the added equipment only earns its keep when you use it regularly.
- Choose Go when simplicity and a complete setup matter most.
- Choose S Pure when you want a more feature-led daily station.
- Choose Smart when connected guidance is part of the appeal.
The connected option is Laurastar Smart U. Laurastar says the Smart range is built around a connected ironing assistant. That is a meaningful distinction, not just a cosmetic tier: it gives the range a teaching and guidance angle for readers who want help building technique into the routine.
The Smart family also includes versions such as Smart Germanier, so do not assume every Smart listing has identical contents. Compare the current store pages for the model, included accessories and support details that apply to the version you are considering.
The board question
Not every buyer needs a complete system. Comfortboard Glasses is listed with a large ergonomic surface, an iron rest designed to adapt to most steam generators and a secure closure system. That makes it a more targeted purchase for someone who already owns the steam equipment and wants to improve the working surface.
The Comfortboard Glasses makes most sense when the board is the bottleneck. If storage is already tight, however, replacing one separate board with another may not solve the larger problem. The store also lists the more solid Prestigeboard category alongside its systems, so match the board to the equipment you actually use.
- Check the surface size against your usual garments.
- Confirm the iron rest suits your steam generator.
- Measure the folded storage space before ordering.
- Look at current care and delivery information on the store page.
Where it earns its keep
Laurastar’s real strength is coherence. A system gives the buyer one designed environment for the board, steam generator and storage rather than a collection of pieces that may not work together neatly. The Smart range adds guidance, while the S Pure family gives regular users a more technology-led option.
The practical strengths
- Integrated design reduces compatibility guesswork between iron and board.
- The range covers entry, feature-led and connected system preferences.
- Separate boards and accessories support a more modular route.
- The clothes-care focus suits wardrobes that need frequent pressing.
The limits to weigh
- A complete system asks for more storage than a basic iron.
- The premium format is hard to justify for very occasional ironing.
- Model names can hide differences in included equipment.
- Current store listings should be checked for availability and contents.
The right choice therefore depends less on a single headline feature than on frequency. If you iron several times a week, the integrated surface and system design are easier to value. If you only press a few items for special occasions, a simpler setup may be the more rational choice.
Summing up
Our recommendation is conditional but clear: Laurastar is worth considering for regular ironing when an integrated station, steam-led care and a more structured routine are genuinely useful. Go is the restrained entry point, S Pure is the feature-led middle ground, and Smart is the best fit for connected guidance.
The honest limitation is that this format is not for everyone. Before committing, check the current product details, the space you have available and whether your ironing frequency supports a dedicated system.
