Remove wrinkles from clothing, draperies, upholstery, and more with this professional steam-ironing system. The included i30 800-watt iron heats-up quickly, and its simple control knob allows for selecting the right temperature for the job. The iron also features a die-cast aluminum plate, which glides smoothly and effortlessly over fabrics, and a unique design with 32 separate steam chambers that eliminate condensation, even when used with a long steam hose. Attaching the iron to the 3/8-gallon-capacity boiler system, with its operating pressure of 35 p.s.i., produces up to two hours of continuous superior-quality dry steam. The 700-watt boiler can be used with regular tap water, and it heats the water in about 10 to 15 minutes. The durable system supplies 12-gauge heavy-duty wiring throughout and an all stainless-steel steam tank and outer casing to eliminate the chance of rust. Other highlights include a comfortable cork handle on the iron, a low-water indicator, automatic shut-off (for the boiler only), and a lightweight design of only 13 pounds (including the iron). Made in Italy, the ETL-approved ironing system measures 9 by 12-1/2 by 6-1/2 inches and carries a one-year warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent small steam generator boiler/iron combo,
By A Reader (Aloha, OR) - See all my reviews What's great is the quality and quantity of steam this thing puts out. If you turn down the iron's temperature below the usual "steam" range, and hit the steam switch, you will shoot a visible blast of steam at least four to five feet. When the iron is hotter, the steam jet is audible, but not visible until it hits something and cools down. Unlike ordinary irons, this steam blast can be held for many seconds without losing power. Also unlike ordinary irons and some boiler/iron combos, this steam is "dry" steam under pressure. "Dry" in this context means that there are no droplets of liquid water (which is why you can't see the blast). Dry does not mean "no water". If you blast your ironing board, the pad will quickly become saturated. (That's why vacuum boards are useful, but that's another story.) Recently I have been doing mostly garment construction, so I have been prefolding things like plackets, ironing a lot of seams and a lot of pre-shrunk yardage between the dryer and the cutting board. This unit works significantly faster than the conventional steam iron I was using. Maybe 50% faster on simple folds or flat ironing, and several times faster when trying to set crisp folds on six to eight layers of fabric (like the triangle fold on the end of a placket). I expect it to be very good (but have not yet tried it out) at construction pressing for tailored garments (e.g., sleeve cap ease on jackets and coats). The steam is generated in the boiler unit, at the far end of the 7 foot hose, not in the iron itself. The hose is amply long to reach across the full length of an ironing board, while still letting you maneuver the iron. It doesn't get in the way due to the built-in spring-loaded support arm for the hose. As a commercial unit, this is both less expensive and more durable than similar consumer steam generator boiler/iron combos. And it has a larger boiler tank than any consumer unit I am aware of. The i300 is the smaller of Reliable's similar units. The tank is easily good for an entire day of sewing-with-frequent-ironing, or maybe two hours of solid ironing. If you were running a laundry, you'd buy a larger unit. If you are operating at home, this unit is a great size. While the outside of the boiler unit gets uncomfortably warm after hours, it does not seem to be a burn hazard. I don't hesitate to put it on a board. The boiler unit comes with some silicone bumps on top so you can set the hot iron directly on it. You can't set the iron on its heel because the steam plumbing comes out there. However, you can use any rest that's suitable for the base of any conventional iron, and a separate silicone iron rest was included with my unit. The only drawback to a unit like this is the relatively slow heatup and cooldown time. Allow 15 minutes (20 at the most) to bring the boiler up to steam heat from room temperature. And allow an hour to cool off and open up a filled boiler after making steam. Since one filling satisfies my needs, this drawback has not be a problem in practice for me.

Great iron, but just wished it would have lasted a little longer,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Reliable Professional Ironing Systems (Kitchen)
I bought this iron back around August of 2007. So, it's been almost three years now the kids and I have used it for household ironing. I paid the big bucks for this iron because in the last few years prior to purchasing this iron I got sick of throwing away (five straight years in a row) irons I bought for around $80 or so (Krups, Panasonic, etc.).
I thought by spending almost $400 bucks I would get a piece of commercial equipment that would last for a decade. Well, he I am now, about three years into owning it and the "steam" ability has stopped working :-(. I'm now facing a approx. $100 repair cost for this :-( Can't people make anything that lasts any more if your willing to pay for it??? Geeze :-( P.S. We have never filled the water tank with anything BUT water from our Reverse Osmosis system. So, I think hard water, etc. could be ruled out as a problem.

Good steam volume, some comfort drawbacks,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Reliable Professional Ironing Systems (Kitchen)
Unlike the 2 Rowenta's I've had, this iron does not seem to lose steam volume during heavy use. I use the steam to pre-shrink fabrics, which requires a lot, and this unit does do the job.
What I see as drawbacks of the unit are: The steam tubes from the base to the iron seem to be always in the way. Perhaps the tubes are not as flexible as I'm used to...? The soleplate only has steam holes at the top of the iron. The entire plate is not covered with steam holes as most irons have. The iron rests on silicone bumps on the base, and it is not secure. I'd be more comfortable leaving a hot iron to rest in a spot that is shaped like the soleplate of the iron, therefore more secure. If this iron could follow Rowenta's cue for comfort, or if Rowenta could follow this one's cue for steam output, we'd have a perfect iron! 2115|R18J0GKGR6FF09;2115|R17LYZFYDKZHBD;2115|RCS9SWBLQ76U0;
