Sunbeam Turbo Steam Iron, 1700 Watt, Nonstick Ceramic Soleplate, Horizontal or Vertical Shot of Steam, Quick Heating, 3-Way Auto-Off, White and Chrome,9.3"L x 3.7"W

Great travel iron, functions well good heat and easy to use.

Light weight, Supreme Steam, quick to heat!

Large plate, tons of poweful steam. I'd definitely buy it again and have recommended it to friends.One star off because the cord real does not work well at all. Nonetheless, it irons so well I'll put up with the aggravation.

The Sunbeam Turbo 1700 Watt Steam Iron with Ceramic Soleplate and retractable cord was purchased during June of 2021 for the price of $24.71 plus tax. It's now available for $38.05 plus tax (December 2, 2024).Although I'm not entirely certain I would make the same purchase at the current price, as a person who irons before going out each day; this iron was certainly up to the task. However, I cannot attest to the overall durability of this product as there was an issue with the voltage regulation in the dwelling in which the product was used. Eventually, as a result of that voltage regulation problem, the iron became inoperable.Nonetheless, it is my opinion that this iron would still be functioning as it was designed if the voltage regulation issue had not severely truncated its longevity. Until the eventual product failure took place, it functioned as required each and every day of a 7 day week for more than a year.It should be stated that this product was not the only electrical appliance that failed under the aforementioned circumstances. So, given a situation in which there was no faulty voltage delivery, I would conjecture that this product would still be functioning as desired.Unfortunately, I do not think I would purchase this item at the current price, however!

Pictures do not do this iron justice. This is a professional-grade heavy-duty machine from a famous brand that has been around forever. Feels solid and screams very well made. All the buttons and switches are tight. The cord wrap is not flimsy. I can't imagine wanting to buy an $80-dollar iron if this one is available. This is a very hot iron, so you will not want to drop it on carpeted floor.

This is my second iron. The steam button gets stuck and so does the retractable cord button. The buttons stuck on the original iron the first time used it. I was sent a replacement. I've had the new iron for exactly 30 days. Both buttons are jammed and now my cord won't retract and I can't use the steam button!

Excellent fast heating. Only wish cord was retractable. Hard to see daily settings. Place a dot on indicator mark with a sharpie.

Man, I thought I did my research for this purchase. This iron seemed to tick all the boxes. Now that I've got it, however, I'm not happy with it. Not unhappy enough to return it -- it does do the minimum job -- but not happy.I have five main complaints. First, it's big and heavy. My arm was tired after ironing three shirts. The water reservoir is huge, which sounds like a good thing -- you don't have to refill it as often. However, the water makes the iron even heavier. And the iron itself is so big that I kept accidentally knocking it into the wall (about six inches behind the ironing board).Second, it doesn't glide. There's significant friction between the soleplate and the fabric. If I move the iron left and right, the ironing board rocks back and forth! This means that, if you aren't careful, the iron will create wrinkles instead of removing them. And it further tires out your arm. I thought nonstick soleplates were a thing?Third, it's hard the temperature dial is directly under the handle and thus hard to turn. And it has to be turned rather far to change heat levels.Fourth, the cord can get in the way of setting the iron down vertically. It's attached to the iron via a ball joint, which, in theory, should allow it to roll up out of the way, but it doesn't always work.Fifth, the instruction manual is terrible. Parts have one name in the diagram, but a different name in the text; icons on the iron itself are different from the icons in the text. Most of the manual is devoted either to not getting sued or to telling you how to iron, as opposed to how to actually use this particular iron.All I have to compare this to is my previous iron, a cheap, basic Black & Decker steam iron that I used for -- I dunno, maybe 30 years? I was forced to replace it because it stopped steaming. Otherwise, however, it had all of the same features, and it was easier to use.
