 Ok, for the price October 12, 2008
I read the reviews of several more expensive irons, but they all seemed to have one or more fatal flaws and/or be outrageously expensive. This isn't my main iron, just the one in my laundry room, so I wasn't looking to spend tons of money. There are three features that I really don't like, but can live with given the low, low price. (The three problems are: the VERY poor visibility of the water window (mentioned by other reviewers), the settings dial is very small and hard to turn (it would be a truly fatal flaw for anyone with hand/finger strength or dexterity issues - beware!), and (just mentioned by another reviewer) the fact that when the iron's auto-turnoff acts, the only way to get the iron back on is to unplug it and plug it back in. This is not described well in the directions, at all, and I actually replaced the wall outlet before figuring out it was the iron, not a faulty outlet.) This iron heats up fine, though, and steams well...and again, given the low price, it's OK.
 Shuts off for no reason October 10, 2008
Maybe I bought a defective one - the iron shuts off during operation and I don't know how to get it back to power on. The product guide says that it should shut off after extended inactivity or if it's left on on the sole pad. And it should turn back on if it's picked up. But since mine goes to the shutoff mode while I am holdig it in my hand, I don't know what to do to turn it back on. The iron does not stay on for more than a minute. I have to unplug it, cool it, and plug it back. I hope the store will take it back with no receipt.
 one serious defect October 9, 2008
It is impossible to know how much water is in the iron. When you fill it you can't see whether or not you have passed the "MAX" line.
 Very Happy October 6, 2008
I am perfectly happy with this product. It does what it claims and there are no leaks while ironing my cloths.
Really great September 9, 2008

This iron is basic and works really well. It takes very little effort to get a good clean press. There is a problem, though, one that another review mentioned. I cannot see the water level. The plastic is too dark. So I usually end up overfilling it and water spills out while I'm ironing...but it irons so well that I don't mind so much.
All things considered (including the very reasonable price), it's a good iron with a flaw I can learn to live with.
