Yamata GSI8800 heavy duty commercial iron Review

I'm picky about how an iron/steam generator/gravity iron works & this one doesn't work very good.This gravity iron produces half the steam that my Pacific did.I've used it for a few days, so I'm hoping there's an air bubble in the line rather than permanent skimpy steam.The water line should be longer; it won't reach to the end of my board.The warning light showing that the iron is on is on the back of the iron rather than the side.The heat level indicator is not readily visible as it is a indentation on the black plastic; a dot of red on the plastic would be better.The "control" for shutting off water from the bottle is a piece of plastic junk that doesn't stop the water instead of a screw.

All in all, it's better than a traditional iron, but if it doesn't start producing more steam, I'll replace it.Cheaper wasn't better this time.

2-23-09:I'm editing the review to add a new note:the plastic tubing between the water bottle and the iron is not heat resistant like my other gravity iron.The tubing has touched the iron while I was using it & has started to melt.

I am getting more steam--I probably had a few air bubbles in the tube, but the steam isn't as heavy as my Pacific.

DeLonghi Stiromeglio Compact PRO 300 Ironing System with Pressurized Boiler Review

Apparently, I am one of the few remaining individuals who feel the need for freshly ironed clothing.I've always used steam irons, Rowenta most recently, with consistently disappointing results.Over the years, I've increased my use of spray starch to make up for the power I've believed should have originated in the iron.But no more!

After deciding I wasn't ready for a presser or a mangle for my clothing, and knowing I really didn't need to press that many tablecloths, I discovered a new genre: steam generating irons. And, after some significant research, I ordered this DeLonghi model.

It is truly a different beast than anything I've ever used!What steam production!!!The temperature of the iron sole plate is controlled independently from the quantity of steam desired.Tap water is actually recommended for use. The iron, while substantial in heft, is not heavy.And the old-fashioned looking cork handle is soft, smooth and cool to the touch.

But the bottom line is the job it does on my clothing and linen! While the ads say that this machine will cut your ironing time in half, I cannot say this is true.....mainly because I find myself taking the time to marvel over how each pass with the iron produces such a professional-looking surface!Really, the only thing that's been halved is my use of spray starch, which is an unforseen and welcome benefit!

Am I happy with my new "beast?"You bet! Would I buy another? No way....I suspect this well-designed machine is going to last me a long, long time.But can I recommend one for you?Without reservation!

Product Description:
The professional-quality ironing system with pressurized boiler gives you fresh, perfectly ironed garments every time. The very high volume of dry, powerful steam makes ironing quicker and more effective leaving dampness.It features the first double-material boiler made of a stainless-steel upper and super-alloy bottom that allows tap water to be used without the risk of valve occlusion. The molded tank allows for the heating element to be imbedded in the bottom rather than attached to the outside, creating a much better thermal capacity of the boiler for longer, more consistant ironing temperatures. The iron has a fully adjustable thermostat and steam flow to allow for perfect ironing on any type of fabric, and it can also be set for continous steam for vertical steaming of curtains, coats, etc. The professional cork handle provides hours of fatigue-free ironing, and the steam tube can be attached to either side of the boiler to accomodate either left- or right-handed people. All this and more in a beautiful professional ironing system that is backed by a three-year guarantee.
