Sunbeam Steamaster Iron Only $17.99 on Amazon (Regularly $30)

I think over my lifetime I’ve had all sorts of irons – cheap to expensive; electric to cast-iron; full size to travel. I have to say, this iron is my favorite to date. The bottom is made so smooth that it just glides over my clothing without any issues. No snags, no gunk, nothing! The reservoir is amazingly easy to fill and the temperature gauge is easy to set. It has the ability to steam and to “spritz” your clothing with water if you want a little extra wrinkle removing power.

The best feature, however, in my mind is the cord. It rewinds into the iron. I know that is a simple pleasure, but really – one that should be included on all irons. No muss, no fuss, just a button and away it goes. See, that wasn’t so hard. Why don’t all irons include this feature? I know this iron is touted as being one that doesn’t “spit” on your clothes while you’re ironing and I can attest, that is true. I know it has a great weight to it and solid construction too. I know that the bottom is so dang smooth that I wonder if it is even doing anything (warning, do not touch to test on this particular point). I also know that Sunbeam makes a great product, but what I didn’t know was that I’d actually enjoy ironing my clothes if I had the right tools. Who would have guessed?

Overall, this iron does everything it says it will and then some. Well-built and reasonably priced, I am not certain why I’d ever switch from this product. If you’re in the market for an iron, give this a shot and you’ll be glad you did.
