A Full-Sized, High Performance Iron

The Sunbeam Convertible Iron + Steamer offers all the benefits of a full-featured iron. The full-sized steam iron features a stainless steel soleplate for an extra-smooth glide. With five fabric-specific heat settings, an ergonomically designed handle and a 360-degree tangle-free swivel cord, the Sunbeam Convertible Iron + Steamer makes ironing effortless. A powerful Shot of Steam button provides an extra burst of steam for stubborn wrinkles.

Quickly Converts to a Powerful Handheld Steamer

Rotate the release knob and the top portion of the iron detaches to become a lightweight but powerful fabric steamer. Unlike other brands, the Sunbeam Convertible Iron + Steamer has an internal electrical pump that provides continuous steam to smooth away wrinkles. The Shot of Steam feature can also be used for an extra burst of moist heat when tackling stubborn wrinkles.

With a large water tank and three variable steam settings, use this versatile steamer for clothes, drapes, tablecloths, bedding and more. A convenient Fabric/Lint Brush accessory is included.

Auto-Off for Peace of Mind

For added peace of mind, the 3-way Motion Smart Auto-Off shuts the unit down if left in one position for too long.

Quickly Release Stubborn Wrinkles

The iron's powerful pump penetrates deep into fabrics to release tough wrinkles. Most irons use gravity to create steam, but the Sunbeam Convertible Iron + Steamer has the latest technology in ironing--a high performance electrical pump to force steam deep into your fabric.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great steam, August 4, 2010

This review is from: Sunbeam Convertible Iron Plus Steamer, GCSBRS-102 (Kitchen)

I'm always looking for a better iron and a better handheld steamer. I like a lot of steam & don't do flimsy, small irons. This one is my most expensive one bought to date, but it was worth the money to me. The detachable handheld steamer is really cool. It's got a lot of power steam and is so light in your hands. When I iron pants, I don't create creases in the front; I iron them flat. That sometimes leaves a crease on the inside and outside seams of the pants not aligned with the seam. That drives me bonkers. So when I'm done ironing pants, I usually have to steam out the creases that developed along the sides; that takes a lot of manuevering with a regular iron. With this, I iron the pants, then detach the little steamer and run it along the sides and it eliminates the unwanted creases. I love it; it's exactly what I wanted. It's pretty sturdy; it's a larger iron so it's got some weight to it, I only mention that for those people used to the smaller lighter irons... like my mom. She says all my irons are too heavy. LOL

This is one of those products you look at and think, why didn't someone invent this before?

The Sunbeam iron is a nice, substantial steam iron, works fine like a million other irons. But let's say you're ironing and you accidentally iron in a wrinkle, and no matter how many times you hit the "steam burst" button, you still can't get that wrinkle out.

It takes a second to release the steamer from the soleplate. All you do is lift the fabric up and blast it with a burst of steam, and the wrinkle falls out! But you also aren't reironing the same parts of the fabric, and possibly screwing up what you already did. (And the steamer clicks right back into the soleplate, so you can keep on ironing without losing any time at all.)

The steamer is a constant steam, and it has a nice, big tank so you aren't constantly refilling. I've used it to steam hanging drapes, and it worked perfectly. It's actually a better steamer than a popular hand held steamer I own.

Yeah, it's a little spendy for an iron, but it works exactly as it says, and you're also saving money by not having to buy a steamer. More importantly, you're not just buying a crummy steamer, but a GOOD steamer - and a GOOD iron - and neither is cheap by themselves!

I totally recommend the Sunbeam Convertible Iron. I love this thing!

I just purchased my iron this past weekend and love using it. Like the other reviewer I like lots of steam and this gives it. I found mine in Target for $39.99 and was quite surprised at the price, I expected it to be higher but I am pleased with the performance so far.
