Have used this iron for about 4 years now and the build up on the NONSTICK SOLEPLATE is noticeable. Using a soapy cloth to just wipe it clean does NOT work. Not NONSTICK at all. Very disappointed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased the Hamilton Beach Full Size Iron with Retractable Cord, &my experience has been a mixed bag. While there are features i most definitely love, I’ve also faced some significant disappointments. To start on a positive note, the retractable cord is a fantastic feature. It keeps my ironing space neat & makes storage a breeze. The cord length is just right, allowing me to move around my ironing board comfortably without feeling restricted. When it comes to performance, this iron heats up quickly & maintains a consistent temperature, which is essential for effective pressing. I appreciate how smoothly it glides over fabrics, effortlessly removing wrinkles. The steam function is powerful; just a few bursts can transform a wrinkled shirt in seconds. I’ve even used it on heavier fabrics, & it works like a charm. However, my enthusiasm has been dampened by its short lifespan. After only a few months of regular use, I started experiencing issues with the steam function. It became inconsistent, often sputtering or not producing steam at all. This was incredibly frustrating, especially when i was in the middle of ironing a pile of clothes. I had high hopes for this iron, but the malfunctioning capabilities have truly let me down. Additionally, while the iron is sturdy & comfortable to hold, I expected it to last longer than it did. I take good care of my appliances, & it’s disheartening to see one that performed well initially start to fail so soon. In summary, while the Hamilton Beach Full Size Iron with Retractable Cord has some excellent features that make ironing easier and more efficient, its disappointing lifespan & malfunctioning capabilities have left me feeling frustrated. If you’re considering this iron, I recommend weighing the pros & cons carefully. It’s effective when it works, but you might want to look for something with a more reliable track record.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this iron for over six months thus far. It is easy to fill with water. The iron did heat up fast. The bottom heating plate is still clean (only used it on clothes). I have used the water jet and steam often w/o issues. It is a little heavier and longer than my other iron. I do like the retractable cord concept. It does interfere with my clothes at times, but it no different than my other iron, i.e., no problem with my ironing process. I just hold up the cord to eliminate the contact with the clothes, if needed. I also like the sturdy stand. I did buy a similar one as backup.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very pleased with this product. It is lightweight and easy to use. It heats quickly and the steam feature works very well. Well pleased with results on all items ironed to date. Has done well on all fabric types - cottons, wools, and polyesters. Steamed some drapes with it too. Recommend this product to all.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The retractable cord is my favorite! So convenient. The iron works as should with plenty of fabric settings I do however wish it got a little hotter. The iron is easy to use and moves smoothly with no sticking issues and plenty of steam. I do not iron often so this was a good solid option for my household.
