Works fine for me!,

This review is from: ST-1200 Steam Iron (Kitchen)
Originally bought this iron to have a lightweight one at my sewing table. I like it so well that I've
almost abandoned my heavy, expensive one. The steam works fine and I am totally satisfied with this product. (I'm 87 years old.)

Exactly what I needed in an iron,

This review is from: ST-1200 Steam Iron (Kitchen)
After nearly 20 years my trusty heavy duty Sunbeam assumed room temperature, full time. Since I bought that one my ironing needs have moved from an extensive business wardrobe to touching up and starching a couple of dress jeans and some denim shirts. I wanted something light, inexpensive, that steams and gets good and hot. The SmarTek ST-1200 meets all those and made quick work of it's first job, a heavy Levi shirt. For less than twenty bucks I can continue to avoid the very popular "look what I slept in" look. FYI: though smaller than average and only 1.6 lbs. this can't be considered a travel iron.
The two-prong eight foot cord and its 360° ball swivel are definite pluses. The the shape and contour of the non-stick sole plate make for smooth and precise ironing. And as another reviewer noted, it does heat up fast. Very fast! However, the manual is amongst the most pathetic I have ever encountered; there's no excuse for that at any price point. I know the ST-1200 is just a steam iron, but it does have features unique to its design. In addition to the "temperature control dial" there is a "variable steam control." Most frustrating to the user is that the writer confused the two calling the temperature control the steam control and vice versa. The steam control is mysteriously marked and indexed, none of which is explained save for a reference to a '0' (sic) position. Rotating the control fully CCW, it passes a detent and the knob... pops out. Is that the '0' position? And what are those icons? One looks like a pretzel! I couldn't help but chuckle at the tongue-in-cheek Components Identification chart on page five, the arrows needing to be followed with some kind of pointer. All of page ten is the 12-step process for the "Self Cleaning" function. Step nine needs you to "Move the iron forwards and backwards..." Most disconcerting is the warning on page seven for setting a control to 'MAX' (sic) "...otherwise water will leak from the sole plate." Very handy is the included 3 oz. beaker due to the position of the water fill hole. The beaker has a "Max" mark, but it requires two fills to get the iron itself to its Max marking. While filling is done with it horizontally, the iron must be tipped vertical to view the water level. I wonder how long it'll take me to loose that beaker? Idiosyncrasies aside, this fine little iron will serve me quite well. With rare exception all I need is max temp and full steam ahead. But those with a large fabric diverse wardrobe might be perplexed by the ST-1200's controls and end up in frustration getting settings right - though at this price one should be able to live with that. Minus one star because of the manual.

A perfect "guys" iron,
When my old iron recently self destructed on me, (I didn't even know they had a self destruct switch) I popped onto Amazon and ordered up a new one. The first thing you'll notice is the nice price and the free shipping. That shipping I found out is also fast, I ordered it on a Wed morning and Thurs night it was waiting for me. It's a great basic iron for anyone who doesn't do a great deal of ironing. It's very light weight, although maybe a little too light, I've already knocked it off the counter a couple of times and the little arrow you set the temperature with is a little hard too see (picky, picky) but if you really only have to do a few shirts for work, it's perfect.
