Steam Iron for Clothes with 8’ Retractable Cord, 1700 Watts, 3-Way Auto Shutoff, 400+ Holes, Professional Grade, Electronic Temperature Control, Titanium Infused Ceramic Soleplate (DISCONTINUED)

I’ve been looking for a great iron powerful enough for my sewing projects and I really like this one. The Beautural 1800 watt had great reviews for this purpose and although I thought it was a great iron for the average user, it just didn’t cut it for me. I went with the CHI and I really love it. Heats up quickly, lots of steam/steam holes, very hot, nice narrow nose, nice weight, definitely cuts down ironing time. I also like that it won’t turn off until after 30 minutes which is great for me when I’m doing projects. It will still turn off if it’s sitting face down after 1 minute which is exactly what any iron should do for safety reasons. The other iron I got was 1800 watts so I was uncertain if the Chi 1700 would be less powerful, but it’s actually more powerful. The retractable cord is also a nice bonus. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic iron! High quality and powerful steam. Seems it will last forever.

I hardly every write reviews and I have never loved an iron before. I really love this iron! Yes, it is a bit heavy but that helps it press better. It does a great job on my clothes. I have been experimenting with the temperature settings and usually use one setting lower than normal.

my Rowenta iron sprung a leak and dribbled water, so bought this partially as an "emergency buy" after quickly reading some online review (Wirecutter). wow. this irons out wrinkles significantly easier and faster than my old Rowenta which cost more! it has very generous steam coming out, heats up quickly, long-ish shut-off (I quilt, and my Rowenta shut off too fast which was really annoying) so I don't have to keep uprighting while ironing a huge quilt top or making a long bias tape. it takes a bit getting used to the electronic setting and because of it, it lacks "fine adjustment" of temperature but so far i haven't felt the need to get to in-between temp settings yet (I just stack few layers of cotton fabric if I don't want to overheat synthetics). Overall, very pleased with this pruchase.

It was great iron but started leaking after a few years. The no-stick coating also strated to stick.

I've used a bunch of irons in my life. Most irons do indeed manage to get hot and beat out wrinkles. Sure. But this one gets hot faster, beats out wrinkles better, and feels better in the hand. It feels like a nice, USA designed product and it makes ironing more effective and more pleasant. I wouldn't suggest going any cheaper if you depend upon sharply pressed clothes for a professional work life or have a serious sewing pastime.

Wow, wish I would have bought this years ago! It is a highly adjustable iron with perfectly controlled heat and consistent steam delivery. The triangulated tip reaches into tight corners and in between buttons. Worth every dollar, you will not regret this purchase.

I bought this iron 2 years ago, it worked well and I liked it, 9 days shy of the 2 years, it totally died, no lights, no heat, nothing. It has 2 years warranty and I had 9 days that the iron was still under that warranty. I called the customer service number provided in the booklet that came with it and all what I got was “no agent is available to take your call, please call back later.” I called several times during the day and got the same response. I looked up CHI customer service number and it was different than the one in the booklet, I called and they told me that the iron is made by Hamilton Beach and I have to call them, they gave me the same number that I have been calling already and getting no response. I tried the next day and nothing again. So I called CHI again and they gave me an email address to send my complaint. I sent an email and got a response that due to high demand “ please allow 2 weeks for us to response!!”I have never heard anything like this when there is no one to talk to you on the phone( I would have been fine being on hold for an hour, but even that was not available) and they will take the 2 WEEKS to get back to me.I went a bought another iron from another store and I flushed $100 down the drain.
