Absolutely love this iron! Perfect in ever way. Steam works great.

I purchased this iron to replace a failing Rowenta I’ve had for at least 10 years. I selected this one because of its 1800 watts of power. I expected that would be good for providing enough heat to make ironing easy. Very similar to my Rowenta. I feel that this iron does not deliver on heat even on the cotton setting. Nor does it provide what I would consider enough steam while ironing. It is set on the highest setting. Also I have noticed that when the water no longer shows in the window there is still a substantial amount that can be emptied out after my ironing is completed. Now I will say this is a heavy iron and I prefer a stainless steel sole. It also has a very wide base when in an upright position. The cord is a good foot or 2 longer than a standard cord. All in all this is an okay iron but not one I would recommend if you are using it for sewing projects. As always with my experience shipping and packaging was well done.

I would not recommend buying this iron. The one I purchased had an apparent defect, since it made a very loud noise when it was heating up. I contacted the company, and they said they would send me a replacement. But the one they sent me is clearly a return - it's banged up, has water marks, and even a dirty soleplate that they did not even bother to clean. This is absolutely unacceptable, and if this is the way they do business, I will never buy anything from them again.

Nice performance with light continuous steam on full-steam setting, and steamburst button. Sufficient number and placement of steam holes in the soleplate as well. On/of switch on handle is ideal also (most irons do not have this). Heats up quickly. Big issue, however, is the nearly-impossible-to-fill reservoir located almost under the handle; iron must be off and fully cool to fill, because you have to tilt it, back end up towards yourself, to fully fill it. Good for ironing a garment or two, but an utter nuisance if you have a pile of ironing to get through. Re-engineer the water reservoir opening, and it would be a truly great iron.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The FabricIQ™ Steam Iron is the best iron I have owned. It comes with a self clean button. It comes with individual settings for different materials. From cotton, wool, silk and synthetic. This is perfect for people learning to iron to experienced people. I love ironing my husbands clothes. The process is so smooth.
