I’ve always been of the belief that a good iron can be the unsung hero in maintaining a polished, professional look.

This modern addition not only lends the product a sleek aesthetic, but it also provides a highly intuitive, easy-to-use control system.

The steam output is adjustable, allowing for customization depending on the type of fabric or the level of wrinkling. Additionally, the iron glides beautifully on all types of material, thanks to its high-quality ceramic soleplate.

The quality of materials used, along with its overall construction, exudes a sense of reliability that justifies the investment.

I’m sorry, Mr. Iron, but you are horrible! Let me explain something to you: if I pay more than $100 for you and you piss all over my clothes on the first ironing, that’s not good! I mean, I love your digital display—it is absolutely wonderful. But that’s about it. Also, the way I have to fill the water on the bottom righthand side is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard of! And the fact that your steam button does not work … AT ALL—yeah, all of those things are a real problem for me. So, Mr. Iron, I’m gonna have to give you one star. I’d like to give you zero stars, but that’s not allowed. Lastly, I’m putting you back in your box and I’m sending you back to Amazon immediately! Read more

I had been hesitant to purchase this iron mainly because of the price but with the option to return it if I didn't like it, I decided to go ahead and give it a shot. Boy Howdy am I glad I did!! I'll make this short by using bullet points: *1800 watts of heating power *10ft power cord (all other irons are shrinking their cords) *Virtual silent (no pops, sizzles, no loud beeps; has soft beep but the sound can be turned off) *Smooth iron glide no matter what temp you select *Super quick heating and easy to see by lcd display of XX% heating complete *Cools quickly if needed to change to a lower heat setting (also shows % when ready) *Amazing steam volume (great for ironing linens) If you're on the fence about trying this steam iron; go ahead and try it. I honestly don't think you will be disappointed. I've tried at least 6 other brands in the past and was never happy until I found this one by CHI. Read more

This baby gets the job done! Nice large digital readout, just press the display for the type of fabric. No guessing, like when turning the dial on my old iron. It heats up very quickly. I like the audible alerts (beeps). It puts out a good amount of steam, which can be adjusted with the dial under the handle. The water reservoir is about 8 oz. It does need to be flat to fill but I haven’t found that to be a problem. I do plan to buy a silicone mat just to be safe. Honestly I’ve just been holding it level to fill , probably not recommended. Just be careful. As said, this iron gets HOT. I did not notice any water in the reservoir when I unpacked it, though the enclosed paper said there might be, because they test each one. I have not seen any unwanted leakage either. I have average size hands (female) and I have no issues bumping the dial under the handle as other reviewers have noted. And the handle itself is comfortable. It has more weight than my old iron, which I like. The iron does the work, I don’t have to press down as hard. I don’t find the weight fatiguing and I’m an older woman. The 10’ cord works for me because I have a large board for quilting and can reach farther. It is not a retractable cord. If you have pets roaming, like I do, be careful with the long cord. I lift it off the floor when I’m not near my ironing station. There is a 3 way shut off and shut off time can be programmed. The default was 30 min. and I left it at that setting. I also have it plugged into a surge protector and I shut that off when I am done for the day. Just a habit I got into for additional safety. I certainly can’t complain about the delivery. I ordered it on a Tuesday and it was delivered about 6:30 am Wednesday morning! Waiting on my doorstep! And very well packaged inside another box which hid the product. To be fair, I live about 10 miles from the Amazon distribution center. But still, that’s fast. I am extremely pleased with this iron. I can’t think of any negatives except that it was pricey. I’ve been quilting, sewing and doing numerous other crafts over the past 50+ years and this is absolutely the best iron I have ever owned, and hopefully the last. My grandmother had irons she heated in the fireplace. Hurray for technology! Oh, the ceramic sole is nice IMO. Can’t use Hot Iron cleaner on it though, just a damp cloth. Be careful with fusibles if you use them. And it uses regular tap water. This iron is an investment but I think it will be worth it. I would recommend if it’s within your price range. Read more
