Product Description

Say goodbye to ironing and step into the world of steaming. Dry cleaners have been utilizing the amazing benefits of steaming for years and the Powerful Steam Station Iron allows you to access the same professional results. The Steam Station presses dry steam into the fabric of your clothing, softening the fibers, and smoothing out wrinkles in a fraction of the time. This revolutionary product produces powerful bursts of dry steam that gives your garments that crisp, fresh look. The Steam Station Iron has a separate boiler located at its base, isolating the water and eliminating any water stains or damage to your garments. This separate boiler also allows the water to quickly reach a higher temperature and dramatically reduce your ironing time.

I've been torn between replacing my 10y ear old iron with a steamer or an iron. I've read a lot about both and was worried that a steamer would not meet all my needs since I mostly iron shirts and pants, and the odd skirt - more the twill and cotton type of clothing. I was not looking to replace the dry cleaner. This system really does a good job of both.

Pros:

Lets you steam and iron, so you get the speed and simnplicity of a steamer and the crease and smooth finish of an iron.

For me it works best in combination - I lay the garmet flat (though you can steam it on the hanger as well) steam the section, and then give it a quick pass with the iron. It is faster than my old iron by itself with nice results

Cons:

Bigger than an iron to store

Takes 10 min or so to heat up enough to make steam - so if you are last minute person, this isn't your machine

Button that says 'steam is ready' not reliable on my unit

Manufacturer needs to redesign: Iron temperature setting is almost impossible to read or determine where the heat setting is - the manufacturer should really improve this as it is a major drawback - have to get a magnifier to set the iron temp. Yes I wear 'cheaters' but this is beyond cheaters. Color of settings is almost same as color of dial..

Good iron, but it does spit. I can't find one that won't other than a Rowenta that is discontinued. It seems to be working fine.

I have had this product for a little over a month. I was first worried about the lack of holes on the sole plate as there are only a few and my Rowenta has "hundreds". No worries, the steam is amazing on this iron and it just keeps coming non stop as long as you push the steam button. Horizontal or vertical! The only con is you can't tell how much water is in the tank. I just use it until it runs out of steam and then I put in the recommended amount of water in and I'm off and ironing. I do try to remember to turn the iron on a few minutes before I need it as it takes about 4-5 minutes for the boiler to be ready. The iron is sleek and smooth with no flaws. It gets wrinkles out of T-shirts while on the hanger. Nice!

As always, Amazon delivers BEFORE they say. I have always been happy with Amazon's service!
