Euro-Pro Shark Open Handle Iron

WHAT HAPPENED: So, after 4 years of excellent, nearly daily service, it finally gave up the ghost. A strange white substance appeared on the outside of the iron and when I refilled it, it started to leak in a huge way from every orifice. BACKGROUND: ...

The product description on Amazon describes this iron as a 1700 watt model. It is actually a 1600 watt model, significantly weaker, as irons go. We took the iron out of the box to confirm the wattage on its label, but otherwise didn't use it. Sending...

I bought this iron from Sears in June 09. I decided to buy an "expensive" iron since my little cheap Sunbeam ones were disappointing over time. Six months after I bought the Shark iron, I noticed a strong burning smell after about 30 minutes of use. ...

I bought my first Shark GI490 because it was the most expensive iron I could buy at the time. This was back about a year and a half ago. I used it and it worked great, for about a year. One day, I was happily ironing a nice white dress shirt and...

I have fought this iron for a year and now it's time to junk it, for 2 reasons. 1. The temperature control button is on the front of the handle right where your hand goes. Without knowing, it's easy to push the button and change the temperature. If...

I bought this product at Target. I can't say that the iron is faulty; just the design of it is not friendly. It does not produce enough steam on its own and I have to keep my thumb on the "extra steam" button in order for it smooth the wrinkles, hence,...

My Rowenta finally gave up the ghost after years of use and abuse. It kept on working even after being dropped and snapped back together. It had parts that broke completely off and I still got great use of it for over 10 years. I saw the Shark at...
