1.0 out of 5 stars WORST IRON EVER, May 31, 2005

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

2.0 out of 5 stars Watch out for leaks, January 19, 2010

Someone else mentioned that this iron tends to leak water, and it does, but I've only had it happen when I overfill the (very small) water reservoir. Usually happens when I first turn it on and it's sitting in the upright position; once it heats up it seems to be fine.

Other than that, works fine. I wish it had some steam holes towards the tip of the ironing plate, but I guess that's something reserved for the higher-end units.
----------------------
UPDATE - 7/2010: I bought this iron in 2007 and recently it started leaking more, and now it has stopped working altogether. The lights come on, but the plate never heats up. You can't even take it apart to check for a blown fuse or something because there are security screws on the bottom. I no longer recommend this product at all.

I purchased the iron almost two years ago. I still have it. It worked great in the very beginning, but it did begin to leak and spit water out while ironing. As the other reviewer noted, it does leave marks on clothes, but I cannot say it is the worst iron ever. If there is water in the tank while the iron is on, in the upright position, it will undoubtedly leak all over whatever you are ironing.

To make it work best, I can only fill the tank with very little water, just enough to get by one shirt at a time. Yes, you have to be ready with small water bottle with a good spout to keep refilling this tank in small increments. The only reason to keep this iron is it does produce steam when it is not leaking or spitting. Needless to say, I am in the market for a new iron.
