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.

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.

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!

This iron worked okay but less than a year after I bought it, I was ironing one day and smelled a burning smell, then sparks started to fly out of the area where the cord joins the iron. After I had unplugged it, I could see that the cord had come apart and there were exposed wires. I have been using irons for over 40 years and nothing like this has every happened before. I will never buy an iron made in China again, NEVER.
