Definitely An Iron, Not A Steamer
Description Is deceiving. It’s a good iron but the vertical steaming capability is not what anything like the product description made it ~steam~ like. Does not replace a traditional steamer. Also leaky with full water.

When sewing garments, a good iron is a necessity, and this brand is reliable. The iron heats quickly so I'm not waiting long to use it.

The steam feature gives a good press. Adding water is easy because the spout is large enough and closes tightly, so there's no leakage.

The red light on the handle stays illuminated when the iron is heated. And the red light blinks when the automatic shutoff is engaged after non-use. This feature has made me less paranoid.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent iron, but steam is produced on dry settings
Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2024
Verified Purchase
As a sewer, I use the iron almost every day. I went through several Rowanta’s, which died much too soon, and decided not to spend so much this time around. I have owned this one over two years now. It is a good weight, comfortable to use, and puts out plenty of steam. It is difficult to see the water level when filling the tank, but this is a problem of many irons. The biggest objection I have is that, in switching from steam to dry setting, it continues to put out small amounts of steam. The iron has to be absolutely bone dry or it will continue to emit a little moisture vapor out of the steam vents. This may not matter to most people, but it is a huge problem for sewers, because we have to press paper patterns, which are ruined by coming into contact with any amount of steam whatsoever. I am now thinking of buying a second iron just to keep it for the dry setting. For routine ironing this iron may be fine, but I think it could also be a potential problem in ironing delicate fabrics such as silk, which can water spot. Best to be aware of this before purchasing, as it is not a problem that shows up with every iron. My Rowentas, for instance, never did this.

I had a Rowenta iron for years which was a great product. Ordered another when this one finally gave out. The new one developed electrical problems very soon. I decided to go with the Black and Decker for my quilting needs. I really like this one. It goes off automatically a bit sooner than expected, but, since it heats up quickly, I don't find that to be a problem.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Iron for Sheets/Duvets! (Affordable too!)
Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2023

I bought a Sunbeam iron a couple years ago to replace my lightweight iron of many years, but have never liked it (clunky, not good with wrinkles). Actually, I wanted to buy THIS iron back then, but it had so many reviews citing unreliability. May still be true!

But I do really like this iron! It's not too heavy & is well-designed in term of maneuverability & easy for me to hold too (I'm older.....). And no leaking or spitting or any problems with, so far...

I mostly iron duvet covers & sheets, & this iron is greatly superior to the Sunbeam. Can get into small corners of fitted sheets with, and yes, that steam is quite amazing! Fogs up my glasses if I'm lifting it (& not over the ironing board). It feels & looks like a quality iron too.

It's a bit hard to read the controls on the iron (but I'm mostly setting it to the same places). And hard to see water level (tho easy to pour water into it). Otherwise, it's well-designed & not overly complicated. I just pray it lasts awhile! Best iron I've had or used--& priced right, good value!

1.0 out of 5 stars Misleading description, poor design
Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2024
Verified Purchase
Bulky, heavy, too big to fit in a standard wall-mounted iron holder. I was looking for a light-weight iron to replace my old Black and Decker that stopped working after more than 20 years. My old iron weighs just under 2 lbs. Description of my new iron gives the weight as 1.9 lbs. My scale says it is 2 lbs 11.4oz (approx 2.7 lbs). Like other reviewers, I find both the dial and the water level hard to read. The dial lacks common fabric names that correlate with each heat setting. Every iron that I have owned in the past has had fabric indicators on the dial. A chart with this information may be found in the brochure—very inconvenient for long-term, regular use. I am still debating whether to return this iron. Most irons currently available appear to share many of these issues, so I despair of finding anything better. Functionality seems to have taken a backseat to sleek appearance.
