SteamfastSF-760 Portable Cordless Steam Iron, With Carrying Case, Non-Stick Sole Plate, White

Ok, I was skeptical about a cordless iron, but having space issues, I really wanted to try one. Some of the irons offered were very expensive, so I thought I would just try this one. It does work well! I love the sleek design. I have not used the steam feature yet so I can't attest to the steam quality. I do like the safety features such as Auto shut off. I think it is best for quick touch ups and small sewing/pressing projects, rather than a full out Iron/laundry session. I ironed two shirts with it, I did have to put it back on the charger frequently, but once I repositioned the shirt and got the iron out again, it was hot enough, so I believe the ironing ability is very nice. I plan to use it mostly at home, but the cute and convenient storage case will make it useful for traveling. I love the cord storage compartment. It is big enough to get the cord in with struggling. I am very pleased with purchase.

Happy with this purchase. Delivery was quick.

It shuts off to soon have to wait for it to reheat

light weight and easy to use when need to press fabric

I love the idea of a cordless iron! It solves the issue of the iron cord getting in the way during ironing of large items like quilting yardage, tablecloths and sheets (to kill house dust mites). Unfortunately, the convenience of cordless comes at the cost of time waiting for the iron to recharge. You can only iron or press for a couple of minutes or a few passes before needing to stop and recharge the iron again. It takes far longer to use this iron than to just deal with an iron cord.If you are a quilter who just wants to press one seam at a time on smaller quilt blocks, one block at a time, then this iron works. If you need to press an entire row of quilt blocks or a section of quilt blocks, then the frequent re-charging will get very tiresome for you. Especially if you're trying to hurry.I don't like the limitations of this iron and will switch back to corded.

I bought this iron a few months ago and I have only used it a couple times. It won’t stay hot for more than a minute or so after sitting, turned on, on the base for about 10 mins. Also, the iron grew some black stuff on the bottom and we can’t remove them. We tried everything. What a bad buy that was.

Works very well

This cordless iron is light weight, slim design and has a neat carrying case.However I have some major issues with the design features and functionality.1. The temperature dial is not in a great location. When grabbing the iron, my fingers often hit the dial and changes the settings to a cooler temp. I have small hands too. So the opening for the handle needs to be larger or the dial moved to the side.2. It does heat up quickly (about 7 seconds to the hottest setting). BUT The hottest setting is really not that hot. I have to press down on the fabric to really press out the wrinkles or continually hit the steam burst every time. The continuous steam is not effective.3. The iron cools off WAY too fast and has to be recharged on the docking station. Only hot for about 20 seconds and then still warm for about 10 more seconds, but not hot enough to produce steam or press wrinkles.4. The docking station is too light weight. It's easy to bump it around when trying to dock the iron5. The connection on the docking station is too cumbersome. I have to either click it down onto the pins with my thumb or roll it down rather forcefully on the rollers to sit properly on the pins for it to engage and reheat. Both actions generally take both hands to get it fully engaged which makes me take both hands off my project.6. The heating plate will not roll over and press a seam to one side like a normal iron. I'm not sure if it's be cause of the light weight or the shape of the heating plate, but I can't iron seams over with one hand.7. And it is cordless in the fact that I'm not dragging a cord across my fabric that I just pressed. But cordless to me indicates it has an battery pack in/on the device, like most cordless appliances.For these reasons, this is NOT a good cordless iron for a quilter in my opinion, and therefore returning it after just one day of trial use. It may work just fine for home use such as clothing, but that was not my intended purpose.
