I love my iron. It’s been over a year now and my iron still works good. It’s easy to clean and irons my clothes prefect.

This is an inexpensive steam iron, almost perfect, read below.1- It has a long cord, 8' as described. Really nice, since most irons come with a puny 3-6' cord.2- Cord RETRACTS all the way in. Really remarkable. Most irons that say "retractable" only retract up to the last 1-3"3- Compact size, not too heavy, shiny iron plate4- Has an ON/OFF setting on the dial. I am leery of "auto off function"--what if this feature fails? Plus, I don't like just leaving the iron plugged in if I'm not using and accidentally fry the plug, whatever.5- does NOT LEAK, as one reviewer notes (he must have gotten a lemon). I tested, and my iron does not leak water with the water reservoir filled to the max.Those are the pros.Now the CONS:1- the amount of water it holds is smaller than some irons, which means more fill ups if you use the steam function2- the initial heat up of iron isn't fast as advertised. I found it rather slow, compared to the B&D iron3- the steam and HEATING power is underwhelming. It does heat up, but it seems like it takes 4-5 minutes to pick up speed compared to the comparable B&D iron, which heats up in 30 seconds4- the DIAL for the heat settings is hard to read because of colored plastic background, which obscures the print (use a LIGHT COLOR or transparent plastic so the writing jumps out at you)5-some cosmetic features that make the iron look cheap: example, the lid for the water reservoir is a silver-chrome plated paint. It's plastic, not metal. You are not fooling anyone. Just keep it a neutral plastic color.Overall, I probably would not buy again because of the underwhelming heat functions, but there are some great features as noted above, and for the price point, I chose it and will live with it until it dies on me.

This model is great for beginner and intermediate sewing. Instructions are a little vague, but once you play with it a couple times it is very easy to use. Cuts my sewing time in half. Call the manufacturer if you have any issues, they will gladly help.Pros:1.Heats up FAST2.Perfect weight, not too heavy to cause wrist pain but heavy enough that you don’t have to press down like smaller models3.Retractable cord helps with cleanup time4. Easy to clean and store5.Steam Output is very affective and does not overly wet down garments. Very controllable6. Balanced properly to sit on its bottom so you can put it down without a mat under it/without it tipping overCons (and Tips to Minimalize!)1. Instructions are vague, I had to play with it to figure out why water was going straight through it when I poured it in according to the max fill line.(Turn it to the “No Steam” Setting on the roller dial before adding water! Switch to steam AFTER the iron is heated)2.Be careful with the retractable cord, don’t try to retract the whole thing at once or it will jam. (Hold the cord straight gently while it retracts to avoid twists or stops!)

Nice lightweight iron. Easy to operate. Great steam producer. Retractable cord is a bit finicky, but for the price, you can’t go wrong.

Works well started leaking hot water very disappointing

This product is great and at a reasonable price. I could not pass it up.

Not top notch but not a waste either. A good iron for the price points. At least for now lol
