Irons Reviews

This thing is a joke! I have given it multiple chances during my travels, but it just flat out doesn't work. It barely produces enough steam to put a good fog on the mirror, much less to penetrate your clothes. You are better off hanging your clothes in the hotel bathroom, turning the hot shower on, and closing the door. I found that it creates enough steam to really take out a lot of wrinkles, the downside is you end up wasting a lot of water!

My iron decided to break just as I was about to iron a shirt that was to be worn to attend a wedding...what to do?! Grabbed this steamer that's been sitting in our laundry room just waiting to be used. The shirt would have looked better had it been ironed, but this steamer did get out the most obvious wrinkles and left the shirt presentable. Word of warning though, follow the instructions! If you keep pressing on the steam button to get more steam so that you can try and work faster, the steamer will spit on your garment.

I owned one of these for 4 years; it was awesome but I misplaced it during a move. I bought another one that I used regularly for 6 years (I HATE IRONING); a piece on it finally broke after years of use and so I'm about to get another one. I'm going with the same model-- the Sunbeam. And A'zon has the best price on it!

It takes seconds to fill-- just pull off the handle, pop the top, and fill with water until full. Then plug it in.

Within seriously about THIRTY SECONDS, it's ready to go. Push the "shot of steam" button, and the thing gives you just that... a shot of steam. A few of those, and your wrinkles are gone. Sure, things like heavy cottons may take a few passes, but this thing still does the trick.

Yes, an iron will always give a more "perfect" job, but this one will give you results that are just as good!

I bought this iron because I liked the weight of it. I sew a lot and a heavy iron is helpful for fusing interfacing when sewing. The problem I had with the iron is that it doesn't heat properly. Right out of the box, brand new the iron did not get hot enough to turn the water into steam, even on the highest temperature settings.
