CHI Steam Iron for Clothes with Titanium Infused Ceramic Soleplate, 1700 Watts, Electronic Temperature Control, 8' Retract...

I love the iron. I have had all different brands and they do not compare. I had irons for which I paid more than 350 dollars. It has a little weight to it which I love. The temperature setting is perfect and easy to set. It has a large water tank which is a big plus. The steam setting is very easy to set. The steam out put is constant. Finally, I got myself an iron that works.

This is a great iron, despite some of the negative reviews. Either the company has updated the iron since some of those, or people just have unrealistic expectations. Here's what I found (as well as counter-point to some of the negatives): - Temperature control - it's a breeze. Synthetic is truly a mild heat, while cotton and linen are very hot. Perfect for every job - Water capacity - more than sufficient. I've ironed two full loads of clothes on high heat/medium steam (like 10 shirts, 5 pants/shorts) and still had plenty left in the tank - Filling the tank is pretty easy. Yes you do have to have the iron in the same position as if you're ironing, but with the large capacity tank I only have to fill before I start ironing. I have filled once during ironing and just did it over the sink.. no big deal - Easy to tip over - I don't find that's the case. It sits fairly stable and is about average weight Other things I like is how, when you swing the readout to fill, there's a little damper there that opens up. This closes when you close the readout making it an additional seal for the water reservoir. This iron cools so much faster than my previous one.. love that I can put it away within an hour or so of ironing. I also like the retractable cord; so convenient. If there's any thing I'd ask for is a cord that's about a foot longer. That would mean the iron would be bulkier to accommodate it, so I'm okay with it's current length. This was a great purchase.. I highly recommend!

Excelente producto, puedes regular la intensidad del vapor y sus 400 orificios facilitan la tarea. Muy recomendable

Excellent product. It's a little heavy, but it produces an appropriate amount of steam in a reasonable time, reaches and maintains the desired temperatures for each kind of fabric and, so far, doesn't appear to leak. it has a nice, smooth surface (though I believe it has recently been "upgraded") and a properly pointed front end. It stands firmly on end. When I had to replace two failing old Rowenta irons, I chose two different recommended replacements and have found this one far superior to my other choice, despite its somewhat higher price.

Two years ago when I was on the hunt for a new iron I almost purchased the Chi. I decided to go with another Rowenta (DW2459) since I had had luck with another one previously. All in all it has been a decent iron for the last couple of years. It did and does leak yes. Irning performance still seemed decent and steam is OK but getting sick of working a little too hard to iron cotton shirts for work and school every week etc so off on the hunt for another iron. Read all the reviews again blah blah and decided to go back to the Chi for a shot which I had already purchased last time. Received this morning, fired it up full of water and max temp as always! Rolled a few wrinkled shirts out of the closet that had been laundered a few weeks back so full of serious wrinkles. Kaboom! This thing is no joke. It made short work of the shirts in no time. Night and day diff bw the Chi and Rowenta. Way more steam, never had to use the steam burst button once. A real pleasure. As you can see in the pics there is a strong resemblance bw the two. Almost identical size, weight etc. The Rowenta does feel a slightly more premium of sorts as the plastic seems thicker and slightly softer touch. In addition, I will say that the Stainless sole of the Rowenta does glide over shirts a tad smoother. Otherwise, there really is no comparison as it relates to performance. If I can get a few years out of this machine I will be a happy camper. All the videos and online reviews made them sound comparable which is why I was unsure last time as as well as this time which to buy. In my real world example, they are not.
