it has a pointy tip so that you can iron in tight places like areas around buttons and collars.
i like the more pointed tip, making it easy to iron around buttons, get in pleated areas and the usually more hard to iron areas.
pros: nice weight, long cord, great steam cons: no off button, need to unplug.
the narrow tip makes the area around buttons noticably easier.
best steaming system i've ever had, and the design of the tip is great around buttons and tight corners.
button is on the opposite side of where it should
the sole plate is nice and narrow to iron pleats and between buttons on shirts and blouses.
third, the 'on & off' button gets stuck and the iron will not shut off when i want it to.
it is much heavier then the rowenta ( the specs say 2 lbs, i weighed it, it is over 3 lbs.), and the steam buttons stick.
this iron performed well for 18 months with the exception of being easily scratched up by buttons and snaps (i've never had that happen to another iron).
heel plate keeps the iron steady and secure when it is in the resting position (and it looks like it is ready for take-off!) actually, it almost does take-off when i push the blast of steam button.
it fits so well between button and makes ironing gathered or smocked items a breeze.
gets into those shirt shoulders and between the buttons beautifully.
with this iron's high-power steam (even without pushing the "burst of steam" button) difficult set-in wrinkles disappear.
oh, he also loves the fact that he can get between the buttons so much easier because of the shape.
for a 1200watt iron it produced a lot of steam even without pushing the burst of steam button.
it has both a spray button and a steam button, and a simple switch between dry, some steam, lots of steam.
it definitely gets the wrinkles out and i like the steam button.
it seems i am always punching the button to get it to 'wake up' again.
pros: soleplate with few steam holes glides well and doesn't grab buttons.
i generally don't need steam, except on linen items, but it's always available with the buttons located on either side of the handle (nice, since you don't have to use a particular hand to open and
odd wrinkle patterns and broken buttons.
you are less likely to burn yourself on the upper hotplate while rearranging and smoothing garments on the bottom plate if you are reaching in as opposed to down and around, and likewise, the steam
if you hold the top completely open and hit the steam button, you might spray a little on yourself.
we looked at the other irons on display and got a little distracted by the packaging of one of the shark irons - you push a button on the box and it tells you all the features while jiggling a photo
i couldn't do it because the iron is too heavy and the steam button is too hard to keep pushing in continuously.
the directions said you could turn the iron off by holding the button in for two seconds, but my iron didn't turn off it just put it in standby mode and the iron stayed pretty hot.
after a few months, the spray button began to stick, which was annoying but manageable to work with.
what i probably like least is the fact that is has a digital temperature thing that you have to push a button to set the temperature or to move the temperature up or down (1 2 3....7).
you just push a button, pull out the tank, fill the tank, and slide it back in, there you have it!
i never used it steam buttons.
i like nearly everything about this iron but think it could have been designed a little better so there would not be a button which annoyingly hits my right index finger as i iron.
getting all the water out of the iron by emptying it after each use, as well as pushing the steam button to remove excess moisture still in the iron.
i use that tobi like on tv and let me tell everyone it is a piece of junk all it did it got my clothes wet and got tired of pumping the button to get it to steam.
it's lightweight and easy to use without fancy buttons or switches.
i love the iron, i love the fact that it doesnt drip any water and the steam button takes wrinkles out instantly!!
if it does happen to time out, you just have to turn the soleplate downward toward the ironing board to get it going again, unlike some of the ones in hotels that have a push button that still
everytime i push the steam button 'crustations' (it's the best description i could find, ok?) come out onto the clothes.
plus the steam button option fell off after few times of using it.
it works very well on his button up work shirts!
the t-fal iron also has an auto off button, if you forget to turn it off this feature comes in handy.
the only drawback is that it doesn't have an off button but it turns itself off pretty quick.
i had a tfal 1749 and loved it , but it fell and i put a hole in the water compartment, the 1749 and the 1759 are slim lined, this other on that i'm giving a review on t-fal fv3266003 was big,
also the steam button is very difficult to push both horizontally and vertically, so much so that i stopped using the burst of steam function (which i like to use a lot).
you have to wait a few seconds before you can get another puff of steam by pushing the steam button.
they are simple to use, with just a + or - light-touch button to move up or down to select the fabric you intend to iron.
for the most part it is easy to use, the only drawback is the difficulty in getting the digital setting to change with the rubber push button.
the "buttons" pop out.
makes a lot of steam, has a spray button.
easy to select fabric button.
after you plug it in you press the rubberized button to the left of the head until you reach your desired temperature.
the snub nosed end is not as pointy as i'm used to to get in small areas or around buttons but not a big issue.
i don't like that if you don't know to turn on the steam button, you don't have steam.
the push buttons for up and down on the heat level are good.
after pressing the steam button to get it going (no splatters or water drops), it only took a few minutes to iron each shirt.
i was disappointed at first because a lot of water was coming through when i would begin to iron and press the steam button.this happened no matter how long i let the unit pre-heat.
pros: nice appearance cons: need to press steam button continuously to get water.
the second one worked for about 3 years and then had the same problem: the button on the handle gets locked, and no steam is produced.
now it is spitting water instead of producing steam when the steam button is pressed.
the iron worked well-the button to fold the handle down is a little difficult to get to and the handle did not stay latched into the clip at the bottom very well, but overall it works great-does as
i love the fact that you can push the steam button and get an extra burst of steam whenever you need it.
i keep having to reattach the steam button
the only drawback is that this gives out steady steam, as opposed to being able to push a button and get gusts of steam which makes "dewrinkling" much faster.
the steam function is also very erratic, but i just keep hitting the steam button and that gives me the steam i need.
ok, just shoot it with the mist button.
