PurSteam SteamBurst+ Steam Iron, Ceramic Soleplate, Self-Clean, Anti Drip

Pleased with the iron. Not cheaply made. Heftier than expected. Not super light, lighter than my Rowenta. Some weight is good. Just right for me. I am a quilter. Have to push hard to open the filler cap but I have arthritic hands. Easy to fill. Like the filler cup. Impressed, heats up fast. Heat indicator is easy to see. Easy to see and reach heat dial. Water tank transparent enough to see the water line. Good steam output. No leakage. Did not try the burst mode. One reviewer said the cord was only 5 feet long. This one measured 8 feet, more than ample. Very happy with this purchase. Excellent value. Durability remains to be seen. Too early to test self cleaning. Cord not retractable. Not an issue for me.

For years I have avoided putting water in my iron because of a history of leakage with the various irons I've tried. This one advertised no leakage, and because I am on a project that really needs steam I decided to go for it and get a dedicated steam iron and leave my other iron for dry ironing. The first thing I noticed is that the well that holds water is about 2 or 3 times as large as the well on other irons I've owned. It is a good thing too....this baby puts out the steam! It has a couple safety features like auto shut off if left unmoved too long, if laying down flat, or if tipped on its side. I keep my irons on a serge protector and just turn the power off completely when I am done, so don't really find the auto shut off if it is unmoved a bonus feature. I guess the turn off when flat or on its side is okay, I've never really needed it. Two things I have noticed about the iron and you can decide if it is good or bad. The iron is quite a bit heavier than other irons I have owned. Personally, I don't think that is necessarily a bad thing...I don't carry it around. I also think the added weight might help iron in knife edge pleats and folds, as well as help get rid of wrinkles. The second thing I noticed just recently occured. I am in the middle of ironing several large pieces (think banquet table cloths or sheets), and while I am ironing the red light comes on to let me know the iron is not up to temperature. At first I stood the iron on its end to let it come back up to temperature before I continued the item I was working on. I noticed the red light coming on more frequently, and decided I couldn't keep stopping and waiting for it to heat up. If the temperature really did drop, it wasn't noticeable, because I was able to keep working. I am not sure if it is an issue with the lights, or if the iron can actually cool off while you're using it. For now I will keep an eye on it and will update if there really is a problem with it holding the temperature. I don't plan on buying another iron for several years, but if I needed one, I would probably buy this again. So far it does a good job and I like the volume of steam it puts out. ***Update*** I had a issue with the iron so reached out to the Pur Steam customer service department. In all my (many, many) years of shopping, I don't think I have ever had better customer service. They responded promptly, resolved my issue and the whole time were incredibly professional and helpful. I highly recommend the iron and the company. Thanks Daisy at Pur Steam for the help and GREAT customer service.

UPDATE: 8/28/26 I wouldn't want someone to pass this iron up just because mine arrived dirty and a little banged up, so here's more info. I was going to throw it out but the iron works great. I just cleaned it up with some Lysol and popped the steam level piece back in place and it was good to go. Just like the previous model, the steam burst is perfectly balanced. It doesn't force the iron to jump up off the fabric, which is an annoying issue I've experienced with some other brands. I love that the steam stays under the iron instead of shooting out on the sides. With other irons, I actually had to tell people to move back to avoid getting burned, but with this one, I don't have to worry at all. I am adding 3 more stars because it is a great product and Amazon's customer service is excellent! Original: I bought the previous version of this iron in 2022 and I loved the design and quality which is why I ordered from them again. Luckily, my old iron still works because I'm using it as a backup while I sort this out but I really do need a replacement. I don't know exactly where the mistake happened. KN Direct is the seller, but Amazon handled shipping. It should have been marked as used/open-box, but whoever processed it probably didn't see that it had already been opened and honestly, at first glance, I couldn't tell either 🤷🏾. It might just be a simple mistake, but either way, I'm returning it and hoping for a better outcome with my next purchase. And yes I washed my hands several times and next time I'll use gloves. 😉

I cannot say enough good things about this steam iron! I purchased it four years ago, and it has proven to be an absolute workhorse in my household. I use it nearly every single day to prep my clothes, and it still performs just as incredibly well as it did on day one. It heats up fast, produces a powerful, consistent amount of steam, and effortlessly glides through stubborn wrinkles. Finding an appliance that can actually withstand daily, heavy-duty use over several years is rare, but this iron has completely exceeded my expectations and never lets me down. If you need a highly reliable, durable, and effective iron that will genuinely go the distance, I cannot recommend this one enough!

This steam iron is AMAZING. It heats almost instantly and one pass over a wrinkled linen garment is enough to make it look brand new. It is just the right weight-heavy but not too heavy. Filling the water tank is a bit awkward, but otherwise all of the controls are easy and operate flawlessly. It is the first iron I've owned in decades that does not leak or drip during steaming. It has an auto shut-off function. It makes ironing so fast and easy that I've started ironing my sheets

I HATE IRONING! Yes, I said it. It's hot, boring, tedious work. Even when I was younger, I just never saw the benefits because I avoided it as much as possible. As an adult, I bought clothes that would need less ironing (knits especially) and didn't worry about ironing those that did unless absolutely necessary. And then I found this iron from PurSteam. I decided to get back into sewing and began looking at irons to replace the heavy old thing I'd been using. After reading reviews (on Amazon and elsewhere), I decided to go for this one, and I'm so very glad I did! The initial things that swayed me were the weight (2.2 lbs), the various steam and mist options, the fact that only tap water is needed, and definitely the price (a professional steam iron under $35??). When I got the iron, I had several things to work on. They were pillowcases, dresser scarves, and sheets that had been embroidered by my great-grandmother, so the items are at least 80 years old. Heavy cotton, no color-fast threads, most in pretty good shape - and I wanted to keep them that way. I read the instructions for the iron, set up the ironing board, and got to work. I was truly surprised at how quickly and easily the iron took very old, wrinkled cotton and made all the items pretty again. I did not use any sprays for wrinkle control; with the material as old as it is, I didn't want to risk messing anything up. But no worries: the mist and burst of steam options did the trick. All the items came out crisp and beautiful, and I barely broke a sweat! My hands didn't hurt after the ironing either, which is important as I have arthritis. I don't know if I will ever enjoy ironing, but this appliance is definitely a game-changer for me. I would highly recommend it for anyone who wants to have crisp, pressed items with a minimum of fuss. Thank you, PurSteam, for an affordable appliance of high quality that performs as promised!

So far this iron is amazing!! I am a person who doesn’t mind ironing…..and I expect excellent results. This iron is delivering RESULTS!

Pros: Slick chrome sole plate, lightweight when empty; return process through Amazon was almost effortless. Cons: Poor heating (defective), badly designed temperature dial, overzealous auto shut-off, no "reset" button, not suitable for sewing projects. First, the iron I received (and returned) heated to a maximum of only 150 degrees Fahrenheit (65 Celsius) at the tip (the hottest part), on the highest setting. I measured it with a laser thermometer on three separate occasions--unplugging the iron in between, and cross-checking the thermometer on other objects. Lower on the sole plate, the temperature was 120F or less. This explains why the sole plate was dragging against the damp cotton flannel I was trying to press. I immediately replaced the Pur Steam with a Sunbeam for half the price, and with only 1200 Watts instead of Pur Steam's 1700 Watts. The Sunbeam quickly heats to 500F (260C) on the highest setting. That's the way irons are supposed to work. Second, the smooth plastic temperature dial is placed between the body and the handle of the iron, such that it sits within a narrow channel, nearly unreachable. That might be OK if it had a thumb lever, or even a knurled edge for better grip, but instead it's slippery. In addition, the dial uses a ratchet mechanism to resist being bumped off target--a feature that makes it even harder to turn from such an awkward angle. The ratchet allows movements only in tiny increments--creak-creak-creak--which means you may need ten finger movements to coax the dial up to the highest temperature settings (and back down). With all these impediments, you have to brace the iron in order to turn the dial--every time. I tried using two hands but lost patience with too many fingers in a tight space. Using one hand, I was able to place my palm on the handle, curl my ring finger and pinky around the handle to hold it, then pinch the edges of the dial with my thumb on one side of the handle and my first and middle fingers on the other side. I have medium-sized hands, but this was not an easy reach. With practice, I managed to dial to the high-temperature setting in only 7 to 8 creak-creak-creaks, instead of 10. But I found the process maddening, especially because I like to put the setting on minimum each time I return to my sewing machine. (With the Sunbeam iron, I just slide a lever--zip!) Next, I found that the auto shut-off is overzealous. It would shut off after 30 seconds even while I was still ironing--perhaps because I wasn't moving the iron enough for the motion sensor. This happened, for instance, when I was carefully pressing a shirt placket, and when I was trying to bond fusible interfacing. It also happened each time I dared to leave the iron upright for as long as 8 minutes and return to my sewing--even though I had creak-creak-creaked the temperature dial to minimum, for safety. The iron heralds these shut-offs with an imperious five beeps--as if to offer a reprieve, if the user can jump up, dash back, and pick up the iron fast enough. Take note: There is no "reset" button. Unbelievably, the instruction booklet says you must unplug and replug to reset the iron after every automatic shut-off. Just what I want--a chance to crawl under my ironing board every 30 seconds. But I finally discovered I could tip the iron up and down, or give it a threatening little shake to wake it back up. Luckily, I hadn't put any water in it, because shaking an active steam iron could result in a scald. This is a lousy design. I didn't test the steam functions, so I can't comment on that. I don't even want a steam iron, because they never work right for long. I always use a spray bottle of water for best control. But the few dry irons available are terribly overpriced or get terrible reviews (or both). The water reservoir in this Pur Steam takes up a lot of space at the heel of the iron, beyond the sole plate. That makes the iron long, overall--or tall, when it's sitting upright. But at least it felt stable in its parked position. If you have an old house, beware that the 1700 Watts of power is at the high end of what old 15-amp electrical circuits can handle. I had to make sure there was no other draw on the circuit I was using.

Esta plancha esta funcionando mejor que otras de marcas reconocidas, tiene suficiente calor de acuerdo al material a planchar. Con otras , tenia el problema de que cortinas y algodon no las planchaban bien pero con esta, encontré lo que necesitaba Muy recomendable

Tiene una gran potencia de vapor y buena capacidad para agua. Deja prácticamente sin arrugas en un instante. Estoy muy satisfecha con mi compra!

Es muy funcional, sin embargo siento que cuesta desvanecer las arrugas

En general es buena, el depósito de agua tiene una muy buena apertura para su llenado y una gran capacidad, el vapor es constante sin embargo es menor si lo comparamos con cierta marca alemana que supongo es su competencia directa, los materiales se notan duraderos.

Es un poquito pesada como negativo pero el tamaño, deposito de agua, la maniobrabilidad, los orificios del vapor y en general todo el aparato es buenisimo (segun me dijo mi mujer)...ella la calificó
