I have had this iron for three months now and I find the triangle cut out at the tip of the ironing plate catches on seams,buttons stitching collars and any slightly raisedfabric on all items! I have always used this brand with no problems....until this one!

Unfortunately this iron isn't very durable nor efficient at ironing. It would need multiple passes on both sides of a shirt to get all the creases out.. In less than a year it stopped functioning all together. The insides rust very easily (which seems to be a common problem) and would leave rust specks on clothes.Mighty Ape's service when returning this product was excellent however.

I bought this iron when I needed to replace household items following a flood. Having been a lifetime supporter of Sunbeam irons, I was very disappointed to find this model quite impractical. The recesses in the sole plate create the problem. When ironing, the iron grabs the edge of the fabric being ironed and pulls it creating more creases than what is being ironed out. This is extraordinarily annoying.
