Stopped working after 2 years
I thought I was buying a quality product and was taken in by the good reviews on Amazon. Did not do a good job on jeans and other tough fabrics too so I can't understand how it was rated better than a $20 iron.
This iron is okay.
After about 2 years the iron became clogged and could not unclog it. It would also over heat and start beeping and not stop beeping until you unplugged it. I think I would just buy a cheap one next time if this is the amount of time its going to last.
Iron
I have had this for a few years and it works great. I use tap water, it has not clogged yet.
Died after 3 years
This iron worked OK, but then stopped heating after I had it about three years. Since it needs a special tool to open it up, I was unable to take it apart to see if I could fix it, and it's not worth the cost of having it repaired. Maybe I got a lemon, but it should have lasted longer.
Irons Well But Fails Quickly
The all digital controls on this iron failed completely in 6 months.
Until then, the iron performed per Consumer Reports review -- very well. Lots of steam and great glide.
I was seduced by Consumer Reports review and the price! After it failed, I bit the bullet and bought a Rowenta Professional, made in Germany, with mechanical controls. This is the iron I'd recommend, even though it costs $100. The Rowenta has even more steam and has now been performing without a problem for 2 years.
Another case of "penny wise and pound foolish," and "you get what you pay for".
