Hamilton Beach Steam Iron & Vertical Steamer for Clothes with Scratch-Resistant Durathon Soleplate, Digital Fabric Selector + 8’ Retractable Cord, 3-Way Auto Shutoff, Anti-Drip, 1800 Watts, Green

I am over all very pleased with this iron. My old, very cherished, late 50's Presto Iron developed a major problem and blew a hole in the ironing board as the cord went POW!!! TG I wasn't in the room when that happened, or much less holding on to it... You know? Anyway.. The hunt began, as lots has chanegd over the years. I love the retractable cord and the large flat base. This makes it much more stable when you stand the iron up on the ironing board, or off side to cool or soemthing. I used starch during the first ironing and didn't even have to clean the soleplate; absolutely nothing stuck or eneded cleaning. I am glad they had an almost periwinkle blue.. purple on the blue side is my favorite. The iron is of course lighter than my original, so a bit more pressure was needed to iron mm new curtains before hanging.. This iron is also from the second school of thought behind steam irons, where it does more of a shot of steam with the secondary spray option, instead of the constant steam to which I have been accustomed these last 30 years.. This is just fine, and is actually more economical. The iron gets hot almost prestissimo quickly, so there is verey little wait time. I love the special finish the soleplate --it just moves so easily over the fabric. The Iron itself has only a 1 year warranty, but the soleplate has a 10 year warranty on the finish.. This was a major selling point for me. My only rteal complaint is that I like a heavier iron.. so.. 8.5 out of 10 to y'all.

I have long used a rechargeable iron. I enjoyed the novelty of it, and I actually had no complaints, but my current sewing room set up makes cradling the iron in the charger a bit ... scary (will I burn myself?). So I decided to go back to a plug-in iron. Oh, I wish I'd done this years ago. It's hotter, so it works faster. The steam on this baby is incredible. It heats up so fast! I could not be happier! This iron is highly recommended!

Really nice, irons pretty well love the steam and the retractable cord. good deal for your money. I even recommended it to my son. He also enjoys it.

Nice iron but has a burning smell when you use it. I’m hoping it is bc it’s new, but only time will tell. Otherwise it’s a nice size and works as expected. Love the retractable cord.

Great iron! Durable & worth the money! The only thing I dislike is sometimes the cord winds too quickly but it’s nice to have the cord stored inside the iron.

My first new iron in at least 20 years, this is such an upgrade! I love the lighted dial, making it easy to see exactly which setting is selected. It is not too heavy - I had carpal tunnel surgery on my dominant hand just a few months ago and have no issue using this iron. The water tank holds quite a bit of water. I use my watering can for my herb plants to fill it (the gooseneck spout is helpful). I especially appreciate the retractable cord. No more messy cords on the shelf. I have found it very good for ironing on linen and cotton.

This iron has the perfect steam ability and presses my clothes with ease. I also love that I don't have to wrap up the cord.

My old Hamilton Beach iron just died - I iron at least 3 times a week, so it has had a good life. I have used Hamilton Beach irons for years now, and am not about to change. The product is dependable and, although it is a bit heavy to lift, it does the best job. I intend to continue using this brand. Satisfaction guaranteed!
