For the price ($30 at Costco) - a terrific iron.
Me ... single, professional, ironing challenged

Being single for 15 yrs, I get to do my own ironing (shirts & pants for the most part).
After my Black & Decker died after 30 years af faithful service, the hunt was on for a new iron.
I looked at the $7 iron at Walmart to the $150 steamer machine.

When I found the Sunbeam 4268 Professional Iron at Costco, I was turned off. I don't want to be a professional ironer. But by comparing price and fuction, and needing 1 immediately, I paid the $29.99.

At 1400 watts, vs 1200 watts ... I don't know the benefit ... but guys like power!

The larger ironing surface of the Sunbeam made ironing smooth and surprisingly faster. The digital electronic display with the material reference, made it simple to select the proper heat setting and know when it's ready. The "Shot of Steam" function, for those tough wrinkles, was made for me, because I batch process, so the clothes may sit in the basket a day, or week, or longer. And the "Verticle Steam" option lets you use the iron as a steamer.

The auto-off function adds some piece of mind ... the old iron didn't have that.
And Self Cleaning ... great ... call me when you have a self ironing model!

For the price vs. function this is a good value!

I purchased this iron from Target 2 months ago and it worked GREAT at first. The retractable cord is awesome! I only iron once a week so I've only used it about 8 times. I'm having problems with the auto shut off function. I wait for the iron to heat up and the light to turn green before I begin ironing. But it now constantly turns itself off - the indicator light turns red and then water begins leaking out while I'm in the middle of ironing. I have no idea why it is doing this. It shuts itself off about 3 or 4 times on every shirt I iron. It's a major pain. The water then leaks out and leaves water marks on the shirt. I'm throwing this thing away and purchasing one that is not a Sunbeam.

I had been looking for a new iron for quite a while. My Black & Decker Pro750 was on it's last leg after about 15 years. After reading the 5 star review for the Sunbeam Professional 4268 Iron. I decided to give it a shot. Well it really does work beautifully. Ironing is a breeze with this iron. Even better then my old trusty Black & Decker. I iron mostly dress pants, jeans and cotton or linen blouses. This iron makes ironing Linen a lot easier and I spend less time ironing. I am very happy with the Sunbeam Professional 4268 Iron. I don't miss my faithful B&D Pro750 anymore.

Good heavy iron that does a good job like the old ones used to do.

I purchased this item based on the great reviews... and I must say that I agree! Well, maybe I'm being impetuous because I've only used this iron one time, but so far so good! This iron doesn't leak and provides a good amount of steam. I actually don't mind ironing now!I would def recommend purchasing this iron if you're looking for a good quality iron for a decent price... two thumbs up!

The iron does iron well. However, I am having a problem with rusty water coming from it. It is slowly staining my whites and ironing board pad with rusty steam. The plates is also slightly stained and I can't get it clean. When I scrubbed it with an ebrasive sponge, rust water poured out from the plate holes. The clean button doesn't seem to do a thing. I iron everything my children wear, so this is a HUGE problem for me. Not sure what to do at this point besides by a new, non-Sunbeam iron.

The Sunbeam iron arrived in great condition, and on time as promised. It's a great iron and performs better than I expected.

This is the best iron I have ever used. It is self cleaning and never drips. It has a wide plate and the steam comes out perfectly. The weight is great for easier ironing. Should I need to replace this in the years to come, I will buy a Sunbeam again.

I'm just not that impressed with this iron. Once the water level gets down to 3/4 full, it stops steaming and I have to refill. The rest of it works okay, but the iron I had previously was only $19.99 at Walmart and worked just as well plus had a retractable cord. Wish I hadn't donated that one.

It is worth to buy it. It is easy to operate; easy to press the buttons with lights, easy to add water; easy to steam iron. I love it!
