Comment:
This iron worked great . . . until it didn't. No amount of fiddling could bring the heating element back to life. I suspect an internal fuse blew or the Safe-Off got stuck on Off. All the indicator lights still work fine. Tried everything to try and turn the heating element back on - including what the directions suggested. Just one more instance of crummy quality control. Save a buck, screw a product.

Worst Iron I Have Ever Owned
8/8/2012
Pros
Heats Quickly
Cons
Not Effective

Comment:
I only had this iron for about two months. It was always getting residue on the soleplate which it would then transfer to the material I was ironing, and I am very careful with the things that I iron. So, one day when this happened, I cleaned the soleplate and it happened again immediately. Then I used the self-cleaning feature, and worse residue came out of the steam holes on the bottom of the iron. I cleaned the soleplate and performed the self-cleaning procedure again. The same thing happened. I tried to clean the soleplate again, and this time the residue would not come off. To make a long story short, I threw this iron in the trash. What a piece of junk. I have owned many expensive irons including Rowenta and most of the ones ranked high by CR, and none of the ones with all of the good features last very long.

Dishonest Pricing

Comment:
Just bought this iron. Advertised on and included in the box was a one year subscription to Martha Stewart Living magazine. In very small print below the blurb on the box was, See refund details inside. In the same tiny print above the return address portion of the postcard were instructions to send my name, address and a copy of the receipt to Martha Stewart for a $14.95 refund. So, the subscription price was included in the retail cost of the iron! I wonder how many people threw away the postcard without realizing they overpaid for the product and gave $14.95 to Martha Stewart for a subscription they didn't take advantage of and a refund they didn't realize they had to apply for. Sneaky.
