Sunbeam Turbo Steam Iron 1400W Quick Heat Stainless Steel Soleplate Shot of Steam Horizontal and Vertical 3 Way Auto Off 240ml Water Tank White Teal

I only wear cotton clothing so I iron everything I wear. I like all the different settings you can choose from when you use the steam function. The retractable cord is a great feature too. I’m very impressed with the quality of this iron.

Update 2.11.24... worth the 5 stars. This is a great iron. Used it on several items today and I love it. It made my pillowcases look fabulous, so I ironed the sheets too! Got out all wrinkles. Love the shot of steam in addition to the cotton/steam setting. Irons beautifully. I appreciate that this doesn't drip water everywhere. It shuts itself off if left sitting on its heel for a few minutes, but heats right back up quickly. That's a must when I'm sewing things and need to press seams. I can honestly say I enjoy ironing again and when done, the retractable cord is a huge plus. I am using distilled water in my iron, too much calcium in the tap water here, and that will ruin the iron quickly. If you're on the fence with this iron, I recommend it and say get it. You won't be disappointed (and If you are, you can return it). Original review: I had a Shark steam iron but I hated that thing with a passion since day one. I finally gave in and bought this Sunbeam...trusted brand, been around for eons, so why not. It was received with a few very small areas on one side of the sole plate that look like tiny scratches, but they're not rough, not raised, don't catch on anything, etc. so I think it's just something in the metal. So far I've used this once, as a test run. I bought a new ironing board cover at the same time, (which arrived with more wrinkles than a Shar Pei!) so I installed the cover and then ironed it. The iron worked well on that. I also ironed interfacing to a piece of fabric. The sole plate did pick up some of the interfacing residue, but it wiped off really easily with a damp microfibre cloth after the iron had cooled off. Love the retractable cord. Makes storting the iron easier. Instructions say to use tap water, but not sure that's such a good idea with all the junk and calcium in the water here, so I'll be using distilled water in mine. Giving this 5 stars for now.

I decided to go with this Sunbeam primarily because it’s the brand my mother always swore by, and I wanted to follow in her footsteps for my own household tools. Right out of the box, the appearance is lovely—the turquoise color is vibrant and looks great sitting in my utility area. I primarily purchased this to handle some hemming adjustments on several dresses and pants that are just a bit too long, so I didn't need the most expensive model with every bell and whistle. This iron feels like a solid, durable middle ground for those of us who need a reliable tool for occasional garment care and DIY projects. The power is impressive for the price point, and I found the buttons very easy to navigate. The large, non-stick soleplate is a major plus, providing plenty of surface area for efficient wrinkle-removal, while the auto shut-off feature provides great peace of mind for safety. I also discovered a helpful safety feature regarding the retractable cord: you actually have to hold the button down in order to pull the cord out to its full five-foot reach. My only minor critique is that the retraction isn't always one smooth shot; you have to manually guide the cord slightly so it doesn’t bunch up in one spot inside the housing. Aside from that small mechanical quirk, it’s a well-engineered iron that handles the basics perfectly.

This iron is the best. You will think after ironing clothes it just came from the dry cleaner.

Great product! Works well

PROS: I love the color of this. The green and chrome make kind of a sexy combo. This iron is easy to use, especially the temperature (you just choose the type of fabric, including synthetic) and steam controls (four steam settings, including no steam). I like that you can turn off both heat and steam without unplugging. Useful for when you’re switching between garments of varying fabric and might want to cool the iron first, or are briefly away from the iron. You can also control how much steam you want during use. Of course, the shot of steam feature means you can operate it as a steamer as well (upright on the hanger). The water tank is see-through so you can observe how much water there is. It takes almost no time to heat up and is just heavy enough that you don’t have to do much pressing. I would not describe it as lightweight but I imagine it would feel light if the tank were empty (which, of course, will disable steam). After a burn, the chrome plate is easy to clean. I burned a garment this morning (from using too high a temperature for the fabric) and was left with the burn pacth on the iron face. All I had to do was wipe with a wet soapy cloth while the iron was still warm (but unplugged of course), and voila! Just like new. Auto shut-off is definitely a safety plus AND it is truly leak-proof! CONS: I don’t like that an automatic shot of steam is emitted when you stand the iron upright during use. Seems like a waste to have the steam come out once you stop ironing. Not sure what this function is supposed to do. However, it continues to steam while you iron as well, so it’s not a deal breaker. All in all, this is an excellent purchase for the price. You will not be disappointed.

This is the second of this model I have purchased from Amazon. The first lasted 20 months before it stopped working (heating). I am really, really hard on steam irons, though, and the first one of these lasted longer than a pretty good Rowenta I paid 3x more for. The original Sunbeam quit on a morning of an event I needed to steam-iron something for, so I went to a local store and bought a lesser iron by a different maker for $5 less because I had to have an iron right away. Within a week, it started leaking from the water/steam reservoir. So I ordered this second Sunbean from Amazon and just used the cheap, leaky iron (sans water/steam) until this arrived (and then I returned the other one to the store for a refund). I am extremely happy with the product's steamability, the heft of the iron, the controls and large water tank. I think the reasons the original Sunbeam didn't last were: I never unplugged it (it turns itself off but keeps itself ready and flashes a red "plugged-in" light continually), and I used the (great) self-cleaning feature for the water tank only when things got rough (intermittent steam, reduced steam power, minerals seeping out, all of which the self-cleaning remedies). As I said, I abuse irons. For the price and for just what the product is and is supposed to do, this is a great steam iron. I only kind of wish the soleplate were coated with Teflon or something, but again, if I took better care of irons, I'd not get to the point where, with altar linens dipped in starch water and the like, I'd have to use fine steel wool to get the buildup off (again, really not something you're not supposed to do EVER, but in the last three months of the first Sunbeam's life, that's what I did--and once you resort to that, you get a shiny soleplate but the sticking gets worse and worse because you've ruined the finish [even though you can't really tell you have by looking]). I can't say I'll take better care of this one--I get in a hurry, I'm pretty busy, I forget to unplug, I use lots of starch products, etc. But I think 20 months for the price and such horrible abuse is really remarkable. Great steam capacity, great weight in the hand, beautiful ironing.

It's a pretty good iron. That said, I iron most when I'm sewing, which is not very often these days and I've only ever sewn for myself. I understand from experienced quilters that the only iron that NEVER leaks is the one with no water in it :-/ but so far, no sputtering from this one (I was careful to not overfill the water tank which can cause leaky ironing). It irons beautifully, except for leaving a few of those white flecks that can result from filling with hard water, which leads me to assume that it is used since I only use distilled water. So far, I'm ok with how this iron performs, but alas, like so many other reviewers noted, this one came used. Out of the box, I didn't notice any water droplets in the tank, but the bottom plate had minor scratches, and the blue plastic section had a sticky residue like what's left after removing a sticker. Also, I tested it for vertical steam even though I have a steamer. Don't buy this iron for its vertical steam feature. Its vertical steam is very minimal and oh-so time-consuming. The iron seemed heavy to me at first, but I quickly adjusted to its weight and the retractable cord is a big plus for me. All in all, I'm sure this iron would have gotten 4 stars from me if it had been new. Judging by countless reviews of even the most expensive irons, there really doesn't seem to be any such thing as a perfect iron, so I'm sure I'll be keeping this one. Will update if I run into any worse cons. Pros: (1) The temperature control seems very accurate. Know your fabrics though. (2) The auto shut-off safety feature is ok: the power light blinks to let you know it has stopped heating. Some customers in other reviews complained about their irons beeping noisily when it's shutting down due to inactivity. Actually, I'd prefer an audible warning (but then again, I don't have any small children). (3) It really gets the wrinkles out and the tiny scratches didn't snag even on the thinnest, most delicate silk material. (4) The cord retracts for neat storage inside the body of the iron. Cons: (1) It was advertised as new, but it was not. (2) I had to clean glue from the plastic part. (3 The vertical steam feature seems little more than a sales gimmick.

Es una plancha excelente, un poquito pesada pero se desliza maravillosamente bien me ha reconciliado con el planchado su vapor es bueno y el golpe de vapor quita hasta las arrugas más difíciles. Llevo usándola dos semanas espero que me dure mucho.

Works like a charm, love the nice long retractable cord, and it's beautiful besides. I was somewhat reluctant to spend the $$ when there were others that were cheaper, but the large capacity water reservoir sold me, and this is def worth the money.

My husband loves this iron so much. It's light and very functionable.

Plancha muy bien

J'avais un vieux fer à repasser qui datait pratiquement de la guerre. Je voulais un fer qui chauffe rapidement, facile d'entretien et qui ne coute pas les yeux de la tête. Ce fer est excellent, les ajustement de vapeur et de températures sont facile à comprendre et les jets de vapeurs sont puissant. Il fait très bien le travail pour enlever les plis des tissus. J'aime bien aussi la rallonge électrique qui entre dans l'appareil. C'est très pratique pour le rangement!
