 | Panasonic NI-S300TR 1200-Watt Steam Iron with Curved Titanium-Coated Soleplate, White/Green
Excellent iron -- 2010-03-08
I bought this iron to replace an old Westinghouse iron that I inherited from my Mother before 1980, so I calculate that it was more than 30 years old. I don't iron very often. I had washed a houseful of cafe curtains, and I wanted a good steam iron so that I wouldn't need to sprinkle them before ironing, something that would smooth out the wrinkles with as little effort as possible. I read quite a few reviews on Amazon before deciding which iron to buy. This one was highly acclaimed by many, so I bought it. What a good choice! I love this iron. Knowing that our tap water is hard, I bought a jug of distilled water and filled the iron's reservoir to the appropriate line, followed the directions for steaming, and in no time at all, my curtains were beautifully ironed. It was just perfect for the job. The price was very reasonable for such a good iron, too, and it arrived in only a few days after I ordered it. I like everything about this iron. It's very smooth, not heavy at all, and it's also colorful, which brightens the mood when you're ironing... not a chore I ever enjoyed until now. I like the retractable cord, too. It's especially handy when the iron is stored. I highly recommend this product.
Ironing made easier! -- 2010-03-06
I am very pleased with my new iron. I previously had a Rowenta, which I purchased about 10 yrs earlier for $85.00 when it started making strange noises and spitting and sputtering I knew it was time for a new one. I really didn't want to spend so much money this time, but I still wanted an excellent product. I searched consumer reports and this one ranked best buy. It pretty much was impossible to find it in the stores except by catalog order. Amazon had the best price, hence it was the logical choice. Now I have a great product for a chore I really, really hate!

Excellent purchase -- 2010-03-09
I am so happy I purchased this iron. I went to a friends house and she had one. After using it one time I knew I wanted to own one. And I am so glad I did. I don't even use starch anymore. This iron makes my shirts look amazing all by itself. I'm not a person that writes reviews but it was a great purchase!!
Great iron! -- 2010-03-08
After reading the reviews on this iron I had some relunctance in purchasing one (heavy, detachable water compartment). However, I love this iron! I do a lot of sewing and I actually iron all my clothes so I use the iron constantly. The heaviness enhances the iron's ability to get all the wrinkles out without a lot of effort on my part. The detachable water compartment is so convenient - just take it to the sink and fill; no more having to take a container of water to the iron and hope you don't spill part of it on the ironing board. I also prefer the stainless soleplate to the teflon coated ones. I would highly recommend this product.

Does a great job! -- 2010-03-05
The Rowenta DZ5080 does a great job for me! It has a extra pointy top which makes it much easier to get in small areas like around buttons, which is a big plus. Overall, a great iron.
Poor delivery from Amazon -- 2010-03-04
Hi,
I recieved thisitem after 4 days with no clue of tracking & when I opened it, it had water sprayed on it & it was evident that it was a used item.I reported it & they said they'd send a new item & it never turned up.I checked th Track Package & it showed me"Delivered". Usually these guys never knock the dorr but silently leave the item in the front door & there are chances that someone may have taken it.When I called mazon,they checked with the career & said the career himself lost the item! Then they said they'd give me $10 gift card..Shucks.I've been running only once used shirts for 12 days now & only now I've recieved the iron box.
I'll give a feedback once I use this one!

Poor shipping packaging and a lame product -- 2010-03-01
I bought this steamer for my sister for Christmas and when it arrived it had completely come out of it's packaging in the box. However, since it came just before Christmas I gave it to her anyway. She didn't have a trip to try the steamer until just before the return window, and now we're stuck paying for a steamer that just spurts and sprays boiling hot water everywhere. Please don't buy this steamer or be sure if it comes and Amazon has poorly packaged it, you try it out right away!
Great steamer but of course not as good as an iron -- 2010-02-14
Based on other reviews and on my own experience, this steamer is probably the best one you can buy for the price. It does a good job at removing, or at least lessening, most of the wrinkles from clothing. Of course, there will never be a steamer that will work as well as an iron because a steamer uses only hot water, whereas an iron uses both hot water and pressure between two blunt surfaces. So if an iron is available, use the iron. However, this is the next best thing. Water is easily loaded into the steamer, and it takes about 3 minutes to start steaming after being plugged into a wall socket. It is also lightweight when water is absent, making it a convenient travel companion.

Love it! -- 2010-02-24
I absolutely love this thing. I will never iron again. It's not as perfectly pressed as a iron but you cannot tell once dressed. I even use it on my 3 year olds clothes and it makes her look "perfect". I can't believe I've been ironing for so long. Heats up fast, hose gets pretty warm so I have to keep my kid away. It probably wouldn't hurt her but I don't want to chance it. It does take using on a few items to get the hang of it, but I figured out if i pull on the bottom while moving down and then up it works best.
Works very well but smell is intolerable -- 2010-02-23
This product works very well on wrinkles. I purchased it because I wear a lot of 100% cotton shirts and I found that steaming the wrinkles was very fast and more enjoyable than ironing. Plus steaming eliminates the 'shiny' 'stains' that ironing can cause on cotton and other fabrics.
HOWEVER, I do not recommend purchasing this item because the hose (which as far as I can tell is a heavy rubbery plastic) stinks very strongly when the steamer is heated.
I thought perhaps the smell would dissipate after a few uses but it didn't. I used the unit three times for 45 minutes to an hour and the smell was just as bad after approx. three hours of use as when it was new.
The smell was strong enough to cause headaches and sore throats. I really don't recommend this unit for households with children or pets (and especially birds). I think the off-gassing is bad enough to be harmful to one's health.
I returned the item. I have been looking for a unit that has a hose made of a different material but I have not found one. I may also try a different manufacturer such as Jiffy, but before I purchase, I will call their customer service line and find out the content of their hoses.

My wife loves this!! -- 2010-03-08
She said it is the best she ever had. Nice, wide, stable. Much better than the junk you find in discount retailers. Big national chains never have them in stock. Got it from Amazon, no problems!
Somewhere between 1-star and 5-star ratings -- 2010-03-05
Gave it a 4-star.
- quite sturdy.
- does not wobble.
- nice and wide.
- cover is decent quality.
- catch holds the legs firmly.
- height is fully adjustable in reasonable increments.
A lot of the nitpicking is just that, but it's not (to my thinking) an $80 ironing board. Could see $50 - 60.
However, certainly better than the cheapos from big box stores.
In other words a good piece of work but not quite up to my expectations based on the reviews. You won't be disappointed over the long haul, but the immediate impression is not quite as brilliant as you want it to be.

Steamer to the Rescue -- 2010-02-17
I got this steamer for my wife for Christmas and she loves it! I assembled the unit and was impressed with the quality of the parts. I did a lot of looking around for the "perfect" unit and this fits the bill. Seems to be ready to go quickly and once again, all of the parts were high quality.
Best Garment Steamer at a reasonable price -- 2010-02-15
Hate ironing . . . goal was that TOBY steamer, researched and TOBY had a lot bad reviews. Research some more and found consumer reports to stated JIFFY was better and at a resonable price. And boy were they correcting in stating so. This light weight wand steamer quickly removes wrinkles from fabric. It heats up in a minute; with high-velocity steam jets and a wide head. Very easy to use. The whole family loves it. Should have bought two!

The tabletop ironing board is perfect for a college student! It can be tucked away when not in use & brought out when absolutely needed. Perfect!

Hate Ironing, Love my iron! -- 2010-03-08
This iron is a breeze! Light weight, fast heating. No cord to drag or catch on the board or the shirt sleeves. Husband likes to use it! Neither one of us avoid ironing or send things to the cleaners to avoid it!
Very satisifed with the purchase -- 2010-03-08
Met all my expectations. Have used it for the past few months. Love the pull out tank that can be filled with ease while the iron is heating up. Also love the cover that you can put while the iron is out. Loved the hassle free packing and shipping from Amazon.

T-Fal Iron - great iron! -- 2010-03-05
This is a great iron. I iron everyday. I love the non-stick, since I use starch quite a bit and it can tend to clog up the face of the iron. It's a perfect size and weight. My first experience with this brand, but so far, so good.
Like this Iron!!! -- 2010-03-04
Lightweight Iron. Cord length is good; easy to fill. Bought another well known iron - returned it - heavy; short cord, hard to fill. Happy with the T-fal. Excellent steam iron.
