Good question, but at least they don't need to refill the steamer's reservoir.

I found this:
"We took our own iron. It's not battery powered so it doesn't iron that well, but the quality of the ironing is not the point - it's where you do it."[1]
So it sounds like they just run a not-plugged-in regular iron over some fabric and call it ironing?

Albern, Dumm, Lächerlich? German has words for silly and the concept of silly.

Doch! Of course we have a - or actually some - words for that. The above-mentioned, but what could also fit is "absurd". Most of the time we have even multiple words with slightly different meanings - it's why I like our language :D

A portable power station (eg [1]) should be an expected part of a working ironing setup..
