Heavy iron, but resevoir can rust
on February 12, 2026
Posted by: Maryee
My mother had 1 of these irons, as do I. Love this iron, especially the havy weight if it. But I have had some issues with rust occuring inside the water resevoir that can leak out onto your clothes as you iron.
I THOUGHT this would be like my old iron, but this 30-second shutoff is awful for complicated projects. I'm trying to get a bunch of pleats lined up to iron, but then the iron is blinking and not heating. The manual doesn't tell you what the various blinking patterns mean -- red, green, blinking red, no light. Turning the dial off and on does not allow the iron to start again; I have to UNPLUG it.
My (expensive) ironing board doesn't allow me to rest the iron vertically without bending the cord in a damaging way.
Very unhappy with this iron. (And this was NOT generated as part of a promotion!)
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have only used this iron a couple of times since I bought it in late December ( 3 weeks ago). I like the feel - it is heavier than recent irons I have had, it feels solid. All the settings seem to work well. I am hoping it will last many years. My last 3 irons have lasted only 3 years on average, which to my way of thinking is not great.
I have been using and buying this iron since I was a little girl. And when 1 stops functioning, I immediately replace it. It use to be the best iron ever. But as of late, I'm seeing the decline in the quality. I've had to replace this iron twice in 2 months. It is constantly leaking, but it stops working because there is a short in the cord, then eventually it goes out completely. Can you guys go back to the old QA with this product to make it great again?
I love this iron because it rarely spits water through the steam vents plus it's almost identical to the one my mother used. I bought two to have a spare in case it ever goes off the market. (Please, no.)
