Rowenta Steam 'n Press Steambrush Iron DA-65 Review

First of all, I *did* think highly of Rowenta and to be very honest... I still think they make great steam irons, probably some of the best on the market. However, this particular product has left a bad taste in my mouth that comes very close to ruining my total faith in Rowenta. Like most people, I would sacrifice paying a little more knowing that in return I would get a sound product. That was my initial feeling considering that the Conair handheld steamers are almost half to a third less than these. However, the "Steam N' Press" falls far short of any reasonable expectations. Not only did it fail me... it failed twice in a row. At this moment I'm preparing for a few business trips and need a steamer for my iron sensitive clothing. I should've heeded the warnings here on Amazon and looked past this steamer since the other model (DA-75) got such bad reviews. But, since it did have the dual voltage feature and 2 large local retailers sold the device I went ahead and purchased it (from the store that rhymes with drys). When I got home I was eager to test it out since my first trip is at the end of this week. Put water into the steamer, waited a minute, waited two minutes, waited a couple more minutes... nothing, not even a drop. Pressed the button a few times and it began to spit rather than steam, in fact no steam came out of it. I thought, "Oh great, it doesn't work!" It did get quite hot and as an iron it would probably be okay but this is not why I bought it! So... I return it that same day to exchange for another thinking... "What are the chances that two won't work?" And, guess what?... I think those chances are pretty good since the same thing happened. Anyway, to cut a long story short, returned the steamer and didn't feel up to test the 3rd time's a charm theory. Who knows, maybe it was a bad batch, but it's hard to believe that any of the previous "made in germany" irons would fail this much. Btw, the iron did have a sticker that stated that it might still contain water from the "factory test". Obviously, I had quite a laugh at the "Iron"y.

Black & Decker IM310 Quick and Easy Iron with Nonstick Soleplate Review

After years of use and finally wearing out my last Black & Decker Quick 'n Easy iron, I bought this newer model right away. Let's just say this is a genuine case of "they sure don't make 'em like they used to!". I realize this is very reasonably priced, however, it has so many shortcomings, you really should give a lot of thought to another model. The blue cover over the water holder is translucent - you cannot tell how much, if any, water you have in the iron unless your lighting is super bright and shining at just the right angle. However, the worst defect is that the iron just decides unpredictably to soak whatever you are ironing. So if you need something ironed to wear in a hurry - do not use the steam feature... OR have a blow dryer handy - you'll need it!

Rowenta IS9100 Commercial Garment Steamer Review

I recently returned the Rowenta Pro Compact steamer in exchange for this "commercial" steamer.

It certainly is a big improvement. The extra 150 watts of steaming power makes a noticeable difference.

There are several features that make this a wonderful unit. The large 1 gallon water tank is clear and easy to remove and refill. The on/off switch and the automatic cord reel are both foot actuated. There are two onboard accessories bins that keep the attachments from disappearing. The steam is powerful, plentiful and literally rolling out in 60 seconds. Also, the unit is quite sturdy.

Unfortunately, there are a few design flaws and disappointing problems. The two large wheels do not roll on my hardwood floors nor on my carpet. Instead as you drag the machine it leaves a nice trail of marks on the floor. The telescoping handles are not secured into the base of the machine and pull out when you attempt to lift the machine. Also, this unit did not come with a handy plastic brush attachment that the cheaper unit did.

Having said all this, the Rowenta Precision Valet Steamer does a wonderful job of removing stubborn wrinkle quickly and easily.

Sunbeam 4218 Steam Master Iron with Automatic Shut-Off Review

I bought this iron just about a year ago, probably a little under a year, used it every day, and it was great until last week.The vertical steam function was nice, as was the adjustable steam level.A while ago the cord reel function stopped working well; the reel would only retract about half the cord and just stop.This was inconvenient, especially since one of the selling points is a retractable cord, but not enough to make me go looking for a new iron.Last week out of nowhere the steam function stopped working altogether (vertical, horizontal, various heat/steam settings, etc), so I'm had to use a 4-year old B&D which, while not as nice, worked.This was a nice iron, but even though it was relatively cheap it should have lasted more than a year.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Sunbeam 4218 Steam Master Iron with Automatic Shut-Off

Product Description:
Stylishly designed, this household iron produces steam without dripping, spitting, or leaking, even at low temperatures. The unit's Spray Mist system dampens fabric to aid in removing wrinkles from heavy fabrics and for setting creases. In addition, its Shot of Steam function provides an extra burst of steam to deeply penetrate and smooth out stubborn wrinkles. Holding the iron in a vertical position allows for using it as a steamer on hanging garments or drapes.
For safety, the iron offers three-way Motion Smart automatic shut-off. If the iron gets left in a horizontal position or accidentally tipped over, it will automatically stop heating after 30 seconds. If the iron gets left in a vertical position (on its heel rest), the iron will automatically turn off after 15 minutes. Even more, the unit's self-cleaning system prevents mineral build-up that can reduce the life of the iron. Other highlights include convenient thumb-tip controls, a nonstick soleplate, a Soft Touch grip for comfort, and a retractable cord. A complimentary water cup for ease of use in filling the water hole comes included. The iron measures approximately 12 by 5 by 6 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Home Touch Perfect Steam Commercial Garment Steamer Review

I've used this steamer for five years and only now need a replacement. I use it constantly for professional and home purposes. There are the typical problems as with many/all steamers: sometime a little water comes out of the nozzle onto the clothing; sometimes you have to hit reset for no apparent reason. But overall it's compact, easy to use, fast, and reliable.

Bissell Steam Mop Deluxe Hard Floor Cleaner, 31N1 Review

After hearing wonderful things about steam mops from my friends, I starting doing research on them.I was anxious to retire my Swiffer which, as a mop, was better than nothing, but it left my dark hardwood floors streaky and I felt like I was just pushing the dirt around on the ceramic tile in my kitchen.I borrowed my neighbor's Shark and after using it one time knew that I wanted a different mop.I was excited to see this new model from Bissell as I had narrowed it down to a Bissellor the Eureka Enviro-Steam.[...] so I decided on the Bissell.The Bissell 31N1 was easy to put together, and includes a hanger so that you can hang your steam mop for storage.I used distilled water since it is supposed to prolong the life of the filter it comes with.The pads are substantial and easy to attach and stay in place while mopping.The unit took a little while to warm up but has an indicator light to tell you when it is ready.In use I saw hot steam pouring out which was great.The floors stayed wet for a while after use, but just like what happens when you mop a floor.I think I was trigger happy so I probably won't hit the steam button as much next time and try to spread the steam around a little bit better.I did dry the hardwoods after I used it as a precaution and that was fine.I was disappointed to see my hardwood floors were still streaking but a neighbor told me that once all of the other floor cleaners come off the floor (after I continue to use my steam mop), the streaks will go away.I hope so.A cleaning person I used sprayed furniture polish on the hardwoods (argh!) so it might be a while.I still think the floors are wonderfully clean and the mop is easy to swivel around and use with the cord being a nice length.I didn't have water leak on the floor like the other reviewer but perhaps that is because I removed the water tank immediately after use - not sure.I think you would be happy with this mop.I clean up after a 2 and 4 year old so life is good now.

Product Description:
Ideal for the chemically sensitive or those with small children, the Bissell Steam Mop Deluxe deep-cleans hard-surface floors using the power of pure water alone. This Deluxe version of the popular Steam Mop also comes with Bissell's Carpet Glide attachment, which can be used to refresh your carpet and give it a deep cleaning.
Heated and ready to use in 30 seconds, the remarkably quiet mechanism works something like an iron: steam is dispensed on demand, rather than continuously, by pressing the trigger while passing the mop over the floor. Hot steam easily removes hardened and sticky gunk, especially if the mop sits over the mess for a few seconds. (Leave it in place 15 seconds to actually sanitize the cleaning surface.) The machine steams for approximately 15 minutes before the tank needs to be refilled, but there's no lag once you refill it.
The Steam Mop's low-profile 360-degree swiveling head accesses hard-to-reach nooks and crannies, like under kitchen cabinets, while its compact profile stores easily in small spaces. The removable water tank can be refilled with water any time during use and the Steam Mop's water purification system removes minerals and other impurities from tap water, preventing water deposits from damaging the unit (distilled or demineralized water can also used in place of tap water). Durable, reusable microfiber pads are safe on all sealed hard surfaces and clean up nicely in the washing machine, making them more environmentally friendly than disposable options. Other features include a 20-inch cord length, 9-inch cleaning path, and storage hook on the handle. The unit weighs 9 pounds and is backed by a 1-year limited warranty. Assembly required.

Black & Decker D1500 Digital Advantage Full Size Smart Steam Inox Soleplate, White Review

I've used this iron 2 years & am very happy w/ it.I am replacing it before it dies all the way.I like the high wattage for quick heating & rapid removal of wrinkles.The plate surface is large, there are many steam vents, makes the task easier.Self-clean feature works well.Just a tad on the heavy side.About average in being stable set at rest on the ironing board.I like to be able to set the amount of steam.Most irons just offer more steam w/ more heat, but at times I like lighter or heavier steam at various temperatures.I like the large water tank & that it steams well right down to the end of the tank.(Not true of all irons.)I iron about 2 hours a week, & more if I sew.Auto off is a good feature too.I like the "beep" indicating it's up to heat.

I don't like it that it's showing suspicious signs of malfunctioning after 2 years of use.Maybe I use it harder than most households, but things used to last a lot longer.Also the water cap is vulnerable, it broke off its hinge right away, & the plastic around it has cracked.Just an irritation when you try to take care of things, keep them new-looking, but they crash anyway.It's operational, but none the less, broken.

I'm very fussy abt. my iron since I do a lot of ironing.I do like this iron well enough to replace it, & I couldn't find it in local retail stores.So I was glad to find it online for a good price.Maybe if I'm super super careful w/ the water cap on the new one on order, it won't break.

Rowenta DG5030 Pressure Iron and Steamer Review

I purchased Model DG5030 to replace my old Rowenta Pressure Iron and Steamer (with blue water tank).My old iron was perfect and I expected this new one to be even better.However, much to my chagrin, it has two major defects:no matter what the iron temperature or steam settings, water drips (sometimes quite a bit) onto the fabric to be ironed.Also, since the water tank is completely enclosed, one cannot see how much water remains in the tank.Upon contacting Rowenta, I was told that these 2 defects are being "duly noted" in their customer files and that I was not the only consumer to complain.I am greatly disappointed that a company with the stature of Rowenta would not either offer to fix the iron, considering its cost or let me return it.I have written and e-mailed them with the further information that I knew of several other consumers with the same problem(s) so this iron obviously needs re-designing.Until these problems are addressed, I would not advise purchasing this model.

Home Touch PS-200 Perfect Steam Commercial Garment Steamer Review

(Updating my review after 6 mos of use.) I've found the Homemedics PS-200 "Perfect Steam" has been fine for all types of clothing.This is the smallest, value-priced model, so I wouldn't expect it have enough steam for thick upholstery or to press creases and folds (It's upright.Commercial steamers don't do this either without a flat surface! They're for removing wrinkles- not pressing clothes.)I bought it to use instead of a steam iron- and for the same price, it's faster and easier.It has worked for denim jeans, suits, blankets, wrinkled khakis and dress shirts.Read the manual for tips- it helps to have the pole all the way up.When the hose starts to gurgle, water is condensing in the hose.Just hold the hose straight up and let the water drip back into the tank.The manual says this is normal and the condensation does not affect the steam.I find it's ready in 15 seconds!Also, steam runs consistently when the clothing is hung higher than the pole- meaning I have to hang clothing from the top of a door frame or shower rod.The hose is long enough to reach but (obviously) the pole could have been made to extend a foot taller.It's small enough to fit inside my tiny closet.Distilled water is a must in Colorado.The water does need to be emptied out after each use or else mildew/mold will form.You may have to lift and tip the unit over a sink and shake the hose to completely empty.I was expecting much less for the price and was pleasantly surprised.

I dashed out to buy this one when I was in the middle of packing for a trip and my old Rowenta gave out. I'll never go back.

Product Description:
Remove wrinkles from delicate silk blouses and hardier linens with this Black & Decker steam iron. The iron boasts six fabric heat settings to cover synthetic material, cotton, and wool alike. Set on the lower temperature settings, the iron suits dry ironing purposes. Operating at 1400 watts, the 120-volt iron reaches the pre-set temperature within a minute. The iron further endears itself to users with its padded latex-free handle for ergonomic comfort while pressing.
The steam iron features a nonstick soleplate that moves smoothly over fabrics while providing even heat and steam. Built-in lights indicate power and temperature readiness. Steam bursts, fine mist, and varied steam patterns expand the iron's utility. The iron also adapts for vertical use on curtains and hanging long dresses. Prior to steaming, fill the iron with tap water with the provided fill cup. In the event of extremely hard tap water, Black & Decker recommends mixing with distilled water. For home safety, the iron shuts off automatically after sitting idle for ten minutes. Pressing the automatic reset button allows users to resume ironing with the same settings. The power cord pivots 360 degrees to increase maneuverability and uses a polarized plug. After use, the iron self-cleans itself by flushing out any mineral or impure deposits collected through the ironing process. To store the iron, unplug and wrap the cord gently around the iron. Stow the iron set on the dry setting to prevent water leaks. As with any electrical appliance, read the enclosed warnings and safety guidelines prior to use. Black & Decker offers a one-year limited warranty for this item. Made in China, the iron measures 11-2/3 by 5-3/4 by 6-1/2 inches and weighs 3 pounds.

Panasonic NI-L71SR 1500-Watt Cordless Steam Iron with Stainless-Steel Soleplate, White Review

I really don't like to iron. And I hate appliances/tools in which the cord is always in the way or catching on things. I've gone to great lengths to get cordless everything. I've used 5 or 6 irons in my day, some old, some new, all with cords. I had a nice corded iron that worked well, but fell apart.I've never been enamored with the steam function of any iron I've owned.

Received this iron as a gift from my wife who was tired of me wearing wrinkled clothes. Perfect timing as I had left a load of shirts and slacks in the dryer too long, and I was moping because they were all severely wrinkled, and had been sitting in a laundry basket for a month. Filled the iron with water, plugged it in, set the temp to HIGH, and 2 minutes or so later was ready to go.

It worked great. Very smooth ironing surface and wonderful steam sytem. I set the steam to maximum, and it worked very well. Same with MEDIUM setting on my poly blends; worked great. I accidently ironed a heavy silk shirt on MEDIUM, and no problems, scorches or blemmishes.

And no problem with the iron cooling between visits to the base, which I set on a table behind and right of me, in easy reach. It seemed to take about 15 seconds on the base to fully reheat, based on a slight click that I think was the thermostat shutting the coils off. I tried to measure the cooling over 2 minutes while on HIGH, but the iron was too hot for my BBQ fork to measure, even after 5 minutes off the base; the iron was still producing steam too.That seems hot to me.

But the best thing: no cord. Nothing to catch on things, nothing in the way of where I want to iron, nothing to constantly move. If you don't mind cords, by all means, buy a corded iron. If you don't like them, I'd recommend this iron.I now dislike ironing a little less.

Product Description:
With its sleek cordless design, this 1500-watt steam iron offers exceptional maneuverability--no more having to deal with the cord getting tangled in a shirt sleeve or caught on the end of the ironing board. The unit comes equipped with a stainless-steel soleplate for smooth gliding across a variety of fabrics, and its 5-1/8-ounce water tank detaches with the push of a button for easy filling at the sink. Set the temperature anywhere from 248 to 410 degrees F, depending upon the task at hand. It will accurately maintain the desired heat, and shows the temperature setting with helpful indicator lights. In addition, the unit's powerful burst-of-steam option helps remove stubborn wrinkles when ironing, plus cleans the steam vents on the soleplate after ironing. The iron also provides a charging base with an automatic retractable cord reel. When finished, push the button to retract the cord reel into the charging base for tidy storage. Other highlights include a push-button steam/dry selector, vertical steam, spray mist, and three-way automatic shut-off for safety. A heat-resistant transparent carrying case, which can be attached immediately after use, comes included for extra portability and easy storage. The iron measures approximately 10 by 4 by 5 inches, and the storage case measures 11-15/16 by 7 by 9-5/16 inches.

Whink Prod. 04081 Steam Iron Cleaner Review

While this product seems to work as advertised, I suggest that users
1)follow the instructions carefully and completely, and
2)use it ONLY when internal cleaning is needed.
It will clean and dislodge calcium and other deposits, but it is a chore to use, and should be handled with care.
For sole plate cleaning, there are other products that clean more easily, quickly and thoroughly, and with less mess and concern.

I used this just last night to steam a sueded slip cover for a couch that's been in a bag for over 2 years and it worked like a dream, it took out every wrinkle. It heated up very quickly and produced enough steam to get out any wrinkle. It did get a tad hot around the head of the steamer if you kept your hand there too long, also it makes a gurgling noise as it heats up, but that dissipates after it's up and running. Other than that, it's a great item. I would totally buy another one. If I may dispense some advice (I worked in retail for several years and worked with professional steamers on a daily basis. If you have light garments like silks, cover the steamer head with a knee hi or stocking to protect the garment from oversteaming whatever elements are in the water and always steam from the inside of your garment - never on the outside. Rowenta is a really good name and usually produce good quality items. I almost didn't buy this because of some of the reviews. I guess you take a chance on everything you buy.

Jerdon First Class J913W Iron with Dual Auto Off and Retractable Cord Review

Does everything I'd expect (steams, retracts cord, turns on quickly) and the price is reasonable.The iron this one replaced was heavier, so it's a bit of an adjustment to a lighter iron with less heft, but for what I paid, I can learn to live with it.

Black & Decker ICR505 First Impressions Cord-Reel Iron with Nonstick Soleplate Review

My title says it all.I have never been so tempted to hurl an appliance across the room as I am when using this iron!It has a shut-off feature which kicks in after 8 minutes of non-use.Sounds like a great idea, but it never knows when to turn itself back on!It's supposed to have an internal motion sensor so that when you pick it back up, it starts reheating again.That RARELY happens though.I have stood there shaking the heck out of this thing, up and down, side to side, in a circle, mid-air figure 8s...nothing works!I tried turning it off, then on again, but to no avail. The only way I seem to be able to get it to acknowledge my presence is to unplug it and plug it back in. What a pain in the butt!And then this morning, the final straw.Right in the middle of ironing, I meanACTIVELY ironing my pants, and the damn thing shuts itself off!It gives me the 5 little warning beeps and then starts cooling down.So not only are my pants still wrinkly, now they're also streaked with water dripping from the iron!This thing has one more time to mess with me and it's gonna find itself in a crumpled heap out on the curb!Oh and if you're wondering why I gave it 2 stars if I hate it so much, it's because when it DOES work (and that ain't often!) it will definitely knock the wrinkles out of whatever you're ironing, FAST! However, if you value your time in the least, look elsewhere and don't waste it on this clunker!!!

Simplicity SHC809 Quik Iron with Burst of Steam Review

I was looking for a lightweight iron that didn't drip and produces lots of steam.I thought I had found it when I saw the description of this iron.First of all the cord on this iron was very short, much shorter than on my current iron.Secondly, it dripped although it has an anti-drip feature.Finally, it took a while to heat up.The only positives about this iron is that it is lightweight and the buttons are easy to use.

Product Description:
With its adjustable temperature control, this iron ensures sharp creases and a smooth surface for any type of fabric or garment.

Black & Decker ICR515 First Impressions Cord-Reel Iron with Stainless-Steel Soleplate Review

(The following review was written before my 6-week-old iron just stopped working one day -- lights on, no heat. I replaced it with the same model, but the new appliance smells like melting plastic and spits water along with the steam. Quality control issues at B&D? Apologies to the 4 readers who liked my review. What follows is my original 5-star review.)

I look for very little in an iron -- it has to be well-balanced, have an auto-off feature and get hot enough for my quick style of pressage. This iron has these features and a few more nice touches. The fill indicator is so oriented that I don't have to move the appliance to see whether it is full, The auto-off light doubles as a heat indicator light, turning green when the iron is hot enough, red when it's not and blinking red when it has shut itself off. And it heats up mighty fast!

My only worry is about the cap for the water reservoir, which gimbles up on fragile-looking plastic struts that would easily break if hit the wrong way. Also, the retractable cord is a feature I have no use for.

But for the money, about $28 at Walmart, this appliance is very well-designed, works extremely well, and is just about perfect.

Faultless Starch 40110 Faultless Hot Iron Cleaner Review

This product is really hard to find in the stores and I don't know why.I guess nobody does their own ironing anymore.Always before, if your iron got dirty, which they do sometimes in the middle of ironing, you had to stop ironing, cool down the iron, clean it, iron a rag to make sure all the gunk was out and heat up the iron again.With this hot iron cleaner, You grab an old towel, squirt a little on it, and iron.The dirt comes right off on the towel, and you can go back to ironing.Love this stuff!

Haan MS-30 Multi-Purpose Steam Cleaner Review

I have had my eye on the Ladybug steamer for months now, drooling over all it could do but it was far out of my price range. I own the Envirosteamer steam floor mop and love it, but I wanted something to get into tight spaces like around the toilet, in the tub, the oven, etc. With some Santa money I got more serious about purchasing a canister steamer in addition to my floor steamer and began some comparative testing and studying. Fortunately, I live in a neighborhood that is all "green built certified" which means, in order to have a green rating, all homes were built with no carpet and lots of people hate chemicals which means it's a neighborhood full of steam mops which makes comparing the models quite easy.That's a good thing because it just saved me over a thousand bucks because I wound up no longer wanting the Ladybug. Here's how they rate...you decide which is best for you:

These are the canister mops I compared:
Vapamore MR-100
Ladybug XL-2300
Haan Canister
Reliable Enviromate

V=Vapamore
L=Ladybug
H=Haan
R=Reliable

NUMBER OF STEAM JETS SPITTING OUT HOT STEAM:
V-10
L-8
H-12
R-5

WATER PRESSURE CONTEST; (1st place being shoots steam the hardest)
V- 2nd PLACE
L-1ST PLACE:
H- 3rd PLACE:
R- 4th PLACE:

CORD LENGTH: (so you don't have to stop, unplug, water cools some, replug in)
V-18 feet
L-15 ft
H-18 feet
R-8 feet
recap: An 8' cord is INSANE. I couldn't even get across my kitchen counter or walk around my bed to steam all of the mattress without using an extension cord!

STEAM TEMPERATURE
V-256 degrees
L-297 degrees
H-212 degrees
R-218 degrees
Note: These temperatures are based upon using the small hose attachments. In every case that we used the long hose attachment included to turn these into a floor mop, the steam had to travel down the long hose so it cooled and wound up only being about 115 degrees by the time it reached the floor. Which results in very poor cleaning. Because of this, if you are wanting this mostly for floor steaming, I would suggest going with a steamer that shoots out hot steam directly onto the floor from its tank rather than through a long hose before reaching the floor as a canister mop does.

TIME TO HEAT UP:
V-10 min
L-8 min
H-3 min
R-5 min

WATER TANK:
V-1.6 liters
L-1.8+1.5 quarts
H-20 oz
R 2 liters

CLEANING:
For a controlled cleaning test, I mixed Dr. Pepper with sugar and spread it evenly across a 4' length of my stained concrete floor and kept the pets away until it dried completely in a gunky mess.I then tested each mop against it in lengthwise strips, moving them at the same pace after a full heat up, as well as testing each on its own strip of bathroom tile & grout. Here's who performed the best:
Tie: Ladybug and Vapamore. These, due to the really hot temps, loosened the gunk on impact and made it VERY easy to clean my floor. Their hot temps and heavier steam also cleaned tile the best but Vapamore actually did aBETTERjob on uneven surfaces like tile with grout..but don't expect shiny white grout because it wasn't exactly returned to looking brand new either.
2nd place:Haan...but it wasn't nearly as good as the above two.
Last place: Reliable. Although the steam temp is hotter than the Haan, it doesn't shoot out as strongand only had 5 steam jets so this diminished its effectivenessDidn't come close to the V or L.

All were at temps to kill bacteria and sanitize without using chemicals such as counters and mattresses, unless you tried to turn it into a floor mop which I don't suggest because the steam was too cool to clean as well as a real floor steam mop made for that purpose..Other notes: The ladybug was the most awkward to carry. It just wasn't made for carrying up stairs, etc.Conclusion: Considering the Ladybug is over a thousand dollars more than any of the other mops, this was a real eye opener! I tested these with my friends and we all agreed, hands down, that the Vapamore was the best buy. And I love it! It cleaned the best BUT the Ladybug lasted much longer as far as cleaning time. However, Vapamore cleaned for 50 minutes prior to needing a refill which, for me, is all I need. That said, if you want to use this commercially and don't want to have to take time to refill, the Ladybug may be worth the steep price for you. Considering they have the same 3 year warranty though, I'd rather buy 4 Vapamores for the price of one Ladybug and have one in every room.I kid.The Reliable seemed to lack things that were just silly...like having a cord longer than my blow dryer and only having 5 steam jets.

Hamilton Beach 14560T Steam Storm Iron Review

This is the worst iron I have ever used. From the get-go, the soleplate on this iron not only stuck to everything, but left marks on all of my clothes! Keep in mind, this happened on all settings, with all fabrics. I thought the heat was too high, but even on low settings this happened and the clothes were left all wrinkled. After attempting to iron w/this iron, I had to re-wash many pieces of clothing - due to the marks it left. I have never seen a small appliance make life so much harder on an average, everyday chore - like I have with this klunker. This totally rates an -F

SteamFast SF-434 2-in-1 Upright Fabric Steamer and Iron Review

I just bought this and I was very excited. I follow the instruction manual closely while assembling it. When I have it all pieced together I turn it on. It says to wait up to 2 minutes for it to start working and I waited 10 and it still didn't work. I could hear the machine trying to work but no steam would come out. Now I have to go through the hassle of returning this horrible item.

Sunbeam 4222 Steam Master Iron with Automatic Shut-Off Review

I was concerned about the couple of negative reviews on this irons that said that certain features didn't work correctly or it wasn't ergonomic. But, rolled the dice on it anyway. I've since discovered this iron is in fact the great buy it appears to be - it just takes a little bit of learning about because the features are slightly different from some other models.

So here's my thoughts on some of the negative comments and some of the features I've really learned to appreciate:
1) I found the automatic shut-off does work very well.But, unlike many other models it stays on long enough that if you stop to do something else or are doing something else for 15 minutes or so it will still be on and ready to use.(The first time this made me think it didn't work) But, it doesn't stay on long enough to burn the house down. (The power light blinks and continues to do so when it turns itself off, until you start ironing again.

2) It is heavy. It is not as heavy as my old one - but very sturdy.I find it comfortable to use - or as comfortable as I'm ever going to be ironing - something I hate doing.

3) The steam features are very well designed.A symbol on the selector for the type of cloth you are ironing coordinates to the steam settings.There's a handy heavy-steam button - that a few quick pushes of adds the extra hmmph you need for those REALLY, REALLY wrinkled pieces.

4) The retractable cord is great - and mine has worked after repeated uses. However, the first time I used it I didn't notice there was an almost hidden button in the design that you push to get it to automatically retract. I think others may have had the same issue.The water level is much more visible than many irons which have just a small line - you can see the water throughout the blue part of this iron.

5) Unlike my last iron - this one is either self-cleaning or somehow stopping the black guck that can form on the iron plate.

The only reason I don't give it 5-stars is that even though it's great for the price - I still would have liked to have one of those that have the removable water dispenser, so you don't have to pour water in it (I just didn't want to pay for that version).Even with the complimentary filling bottle it's still not a great way to put water in it.

All in all, I think this is a great iron for the price.

Sunbeam 4211 Steam-Master Iron with Automatic Shut-Off Review

This worked great for the first three months I had it. I loved that I could actually see the water level in the chamber (my previous iron didn't have this feature), I loved the burst of steam feature, which was especially handy for my kids' corduroy pants. In fact, I was just happy to have a steam feature that worked at all. I was almost enjoying ironing for a while there.

Skip to three months and two weeks. The iron now leaks more than it steams, my ironing board is soaking wet by the time I've done one shirt and the reservoir needs to be refilled after I've ironed two. It's not leaking from the visible reservoir areas or soleplate, either -- it's pouring out of the housing whenever the iron is horizontal. I've contacted Amazon who refuses to deal with it since it's been longer than 30 days, and I can't get a single person at Sunbeam to return my calls or my emails. Thankfully it "only" took $27 to realize I'll be steering clear of Sunbeam products in the future.

Black & Decker X50 Travel Pro Iron, White Review

I bought this as a replacement for the X10, which had been inside a suitcase that was stolen from me. I found this one much more difficult to use, primarily because the handle, which rises up from the top rather than folding up from the side, doesn't lock securely in the up position. Frequently while using the iron the handle will partially collapse, either on its own or because I bumped the release button (which is all to easy to do). This jerks the iron, pinches fingers, and makes me fear burning the clothing or even myself.

Furthermore, the cord of the X10 could be wrapped around the collapsed iron when not in use for easy storage in its box, but the shape of this one makes wrapping the cord unwieldy and does not allow it to fit in the box this way...so one must figure out how to fold and stuff the cord in each time one puts it away.
