Default Trouser press

Some time ago I replaced the element in a Morphy Richards "Strides" trouser
press. I wasn't very impressed with the way the thing was made or the way
the element had to be stapled in place. Anyway - it has failed again and I
am thinking of binning it. Does anyone have views on whether any makes are
significantly better? Or a cheap source of an element which may tempt me to
repair it again.

I had a Corby one. The heating element started to mark my trousers and they
would no supply a replacement part.

(It possibly lasted 15 years though)
