Product Description

Amazon.com Review

An open-handle design offers unconstrained maneuverability with the Shark clothes iron from Euro-Pro. For optimal safety and peace of mind when driving away from the house, the Shark is equipped with an exclusive electronic, any-position auto-off mechanism. Vertical steam power takes wrinkles out of curtains and other window treatments without having to take them down, and also makes it easy to touch up lightweight material that won't stand up to the pressure of board ironing. Variable steam power further bolsters versatility, smoothing out medium-weight cloths and heavyweight denim full of the beefiest wrinkles. Plus, a self-cleaning feature and anti-calcium filter ensure clean and smooth ironing every time. An anti-drip design keeps the iron clean after refills and eliminates spotting. Mist/spray buttons help tackle those thickset wrinkles in denim, thick cotton, and more. Lightweight, and easy to use, the Shark ensures a clean, crisp finish to suits and dresses, household linens, curtains and upholstery. Brian Olson

5.0 out of 5 stars The Greatest As Irons Go!!, August 12, 2008

This review is from: Euro-Pro Shark Open Handle Iron (Kitchen)

I have had the Europro Open Handle Iron for over a year. It is the greatest iron that I have ever owned. I bought it at a local "box" store and was upset when I went, just to get a back up in case the present one ever quit on me, and they don't carry it anymore. Happy to see Amazon has it and will order one immediately.
Irons with little effort and the steam setting is awesome.

1.0 out of 5 stars Beware - this is a dangerious iron., January 28, 2008

By 

Bluequetee (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

This iron has tiny feet that does not provide a sturdy base. Also, the cord tends to fall right under the open handle, thus leaving it off balance and making it easy to topple over.

This iron has fallen off of my ironing board a few times. I bought a wider ironing board, and again, when placing it down, the cord landed under the handle again and it fell to the floor. Thank goodness my legs where not near the base of it! I will not even donate this to goodwill. It will be going in the trash.

It irons well - but proceed with caution.

This review is from: Euro-Pro Shark Open Handle Iron (Kitchen)

I bought this iron because of the high heat it is supposed to generate, as well as the steam function. Well, it does give you a high heat, but the water in the iron leaks like a sponge. I almost scalded my hand on the leak once when I picked it up to use and the water came out like Niagra Falls. It should be taken off the market!
