PANT PRESS Pantman Pant Press Machine - (Gray/Blue) I'M A WIDOWER HAVING TO LEARN HOW TO DO THINGS I NEVER BEFORE HAD TO DO . IRONING IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS. TRIED FOR SEVERAL YEARS WITH ONLY FAIRLY SATISFACTORY RESULTS.DECIDED TO TRY THE PANTMAN PANT PRESS. RESULTS BETTER THAN EXPECTED. EASY TO USE--PANTS LOOK GREAT--PRICE WAS RIGHT. VERY GOOD OVERALL EXPERIENCE. Reliable F1 Pantman The Pantman arrived essentially fully assembled. All that was needed was to plug in two feet. it is very well constructed of sturdy plastic and everything about it is quality. It works perfectly and makes an excellent crease. I even used it as a lark on a pair of chino pants that came out of the dryer with certainly no crease. The first application, it came out very nice. I pressed the bottom for a second application, and it came out nearly perfect. The Pantman has a tray for change but as it states, has no place to hang a jacket; however, while not intended for the purpose or any purpose, the top of the presser accommodates a jacket with just a slight bulge at the neck. All in all it is far better than the expensive wood one I had for years. I would recommend it without hesitation to anyone. pantman This pantman has done a wonderful job and my husband is thrilled about how good his pants look after being pressed in the pantman. I am very glad I selected this product.

   

Cooper Tools #SP40L 40W 120V Soldering Iron
From COOPER TOOLS

40W, 120V Soldering Iron, Lightweight For Comfort, High Impact Plastic Handle For Long Life, Develops 900 Degrees F. Stainless Steel Barrel, Includes MT10 1/4" Heavy Duty, Nickel Plated Chisel Point Copper Tip, Features Light Ring That Glows & Indicates That The Unit Is Plugged In.
Amazon Sales Rank: #25665 in Home Improvement Brand: Weller Model: SP40L Dimensions: 11.00" h x 4.25" w x 1.00" l, .43 pounds
The Weller Marksman 40-watt soldering iron is the perfect tool for the beginner or hobbyist in electronics. Constructed to be high-quality and lightweight, this mini-pencil tool has a replaceable nickel-plated copper tip and a stainless steel barrel, plus a heat and impact-resistant handle. Its indicator light lets you see instantly whether or not the iron is activated, and it develops a temperature up to 900 degrees F/482 degrees C. This soldering iron is UL listed for safety.
Great for medium size jobs. This is 40 Watt soldering iron. My only complaint is that you have to buy fine tips separately. Since it is 40 Watts, this iron will heat up quicker than a 25 Watt. I do not recommend using it on fine work unless you can get a fine or smaller tip. It is a good iron to use for medium soldering jobs. Perfect for large solder joints I purchased this iron to solder leads and ground wires to potentiometers, switches and output jacks on electric guitars and basses. It works perfectly for this type of solder job - but beware... do not use this for fine work or on items that require low temp solder joints. This baby gets very hot! I gave it 4 stars because the iron stand is nearly useless and cheap. fantastic soldering iron I got this to replace a cheap one. I am so glad I did. I had no idea that I was missing out on easier soldering! This is a great soldering iron. It heats up fast and I am very pleased. The base is nice to have as well.

   

Whirlpool : LRF4001RY Fabric Freshener White
From Whirlpool

Forget taking your clothes to the dry cleaner and put away the iron because the Whirlpool LRF4001RY Fabric Freshener easily and conveniently removes odors and relaxes wrinkles without chemicals or detergents.
Amazon Sales Rank: #114472 in Kitchen & Housewares Brand: Whirlpool Model: LRF4001RY Dimensions: 30.50 pounds

Great for busy people! I read about this in the SkyMall catologue and when I checked in to the Marriott hotel, suprisingly there was one in my room. There was also a survey card near it so I think they're testing it out at hotels. For someone who travels about 80-90% of the year, and only spends weekends at home, this machine is great! I completely took any scent or odor out of my clothes, including perfume or food smells, and in addition, took out about 95% of the wrinkles. This machine is great for someone like me who is a busy professional that can never make it to the dry cleaners on time to pick up my clothes before they close, and many times, i just need the odor and wrinkles taken out. I had a shirt with a stain on it and I cleaned it with my shout wipe and stuck it in the Fabric Freshener and my shirt came out wrinkle and spot free and fresh. It cleans 2 garments at a time and the total cycle time is right around 30 minutes. You literally just put your clothes in, fill in the cup with water, zip up the bag, press the button and go watch tv or whatnots, and by the time your show is done, so is your clothes. One Flaw This would be a five-star item, were it not for one serious flaw. It comes with heavy clips, a.k.a. Tension Weights, much like heavy, giant bag clips, which you can attach to the bottom of a shirt, or pants, to help straighten out the wrinkles. You know the wrinkles that stretch horizontally across the back of a shirt after it's been worn? These clips are great for helping get rid of that. HOWEVER, the clips that came with my Fabric Freshener could not withstand the heat and fell apart after a few uses. If only Whirlpool would redesign these clips, which are made mostly of a soft plastic which starts to warp in a critical place, where plastic tabs grab the axle about which the clip pivots. In the meantime, I'm looking for a substitute. Pants hangers with the bars that clip onto the bottom of the pants legs are a start. They work with shirts, but they are too big for pants because the pants hang too close to the bottom of the appliance. Great when new, wears out fast For about 8 months, this thing was a lifesaver. Not as good as a good ironing, not as clean as dry cleaning, but I could dress professionally every day of the week, thanks to this contraption. As I was using it heavily (ave. 2-4 cycles per week) I kept up religiously with suggested maintenance, but alas one day, it would no longer take water for the steam cycle and was rendered useless overnight. I've ordered a new one hoping (possibly naively) this is a fluke but this otherwise 5-star product is downgraded owing to it's (in my opinion) way-too-early demise.

   

SUNBEAM 4043 Steam and Spray Iron
From Sunbeam




BEST IRON EVER! I bought this iron several years ago. It was without a doubt, the best iron I ever owned. Then, one day last month, I accidentally knocked it over on my concrete basement floor and it broke. I needed an iron ASAP, and had to purchase another brand, but plan to buy another Sunbeam 4043 as quickly as I can.

   

Elevate by Andis 67235 Professional Tourmaline Nano-Ceramic Clamp Flat Iron, 2"
From Andis Professional

The Andis Elevate 2” Tourmaline Nano-Ceramic Flat Iron has 20 variable heat settings for all hair types. Crushed from precious gemstones, the tourmaline crystals emit negative ions that quickly seal the cuticle layer and eliminate frizz for smoother, silkier hair.

It penetrates the hair from the inside out, for deep, long-lasting styles. The fusion of nano-ceramic and tourmaline straightens hair in less time and without typical iron damage. Hair is left softer and shinier. You can straighten, flip, shape, control, and smooth hair with a single product. The maximum temperature of 400 degrees allows you to really lock in the style. Designed and engineered in the United States, Andis also offers a complete line of quality clippers and trimmers for consumers and animal grooming as well as a full line of wall mounted hair dryers for the hotel industry.

The product is perfect While the charge for shipping was excessive product arrived in perfect condition and works very well, I have achieved very good results with its use Decent starter I bought this product a year from now discounted, which was less than $35. I think it's pretty basic for my needs. I have dry straight hair. I usually only use the lowest setting, which is still pretty hot. I haven't tried the highest settings as my hair is pretty easy to straighten. Seems a little slow to heat up, 2-3 minutes or so. But, heats up pretty well. I've used it maybe once a week with no problems. One thing I would advise is to follow the instructions. Like, this is not a wet to dry straightener. Also, it's no Sedu or CHI. But, I straighten my hair once in awhile, so no big deal. If you want to lengthen the life of your hair while straightening, be sure to use some thermal protection! Doesn't get very hot... Usually when using a good flat iron, after running it down my hair, my hair is so hot I can't touch it. Even on max temp, this one doesn't do that, and it doesn't smooth all the frizzies down.

   

Pellon Stop Shine Teflon Iron Cover





Great addition to the iron I've used this product for years - only had to replace it when I've moved and lost the one(s) I had in all of the boxes. From what I understand, the Teflon can wear off after several years of use - but I wouldn't know, because I tend to lose them before this could happen... I like this product as it fits pretty much all irons. I am an absent-minded crafter, I guess. Own several sewing machines and several irons. I like not having to have one cover for each iron. Helps protect fabrics from scorching and "shine" - especially velvets. I actually started purchasing this product specifically for use with velvets. I emboss velvets with stamped images. This product gives you a flat surface - no steam holes that would muck up the clarity of the stamped image. It also gives you a larger surface area, which allows you to arrange several stamps into a design that can be stamped in one pressing. I actually carve my own images and like making them larger than what you can normally find in stamps, and sometimes larger than the plate size on most irons. The one complaint I have is that the plate attaches to the iron with a metal spring. If it gets caught or just slides off a bit it can snap and hurt your finger a bit. Had it happen a few times. UPDATE - Sept 20, 2009: I am adding a quick update as I post reviews of a couple of other products. I rely heavily on ratings and reviews when making online purchases, so want to chip in. It is years later and I still swear by this product. I've found nothing else like it. One is always on my iron and I actually sell it in my online rubber stamp shops. I consider it a must-have for velvet embossing with rubber stamps and have had nothing but positive customer feedback on the product. Great for general clothing/fabric care as well. (Plus I haven't snapped my fingers with the spring for a very long time.) ;) Given that this type of product is pretty rare - and this particular one can fit on so many iron models - today I would rate it 5 STARS. Perhaps the spring attachment could be improved, but I've had the same shoe on the one iron I now use for several years and it holds in place. (It might not work so well on smaller irons, craft irons - the face is large and the spring may be loose if the overall iron is small.) I have not experienced any wearing of the Teflon. I realize I may be considered biased, as I now sell the product myself, but I do not carry many types of crafting accessories and specifically chose to carry this item because of its unique benefits. I do not work for the manufacturer (or receive any perks or discounts from them), I do not sell the item on Amazon. I recommend the product as a household and crafting accessory regardless of where it is purchased. Cheers Good Product -- But Has Some Attachment Issues I purchased the Teflon Iron Plate in late 2006 because the sole plate on an iron that I purchased seemed to collect spray starch and get sticky quickly. The Teflon Plate corrected that issue but it was a bit of a struggle getting it attached to the iron. The Teflon Plate comes with a spring like attachment intended to pull up over the iron to secure the iron. That didn't work well with our particular style of iron. The plate also shifted around a lot during use. I think it would work better with an iron with a larger sole plate.

Beat the inevitable wrinkling of clothes packed in your luggage with this nifty travel iron from Rowenta. Aptly named Latitude, this model features the power of steam and the versatility of a full-size iron in a scaled-down edition. With a sliding temperature control, the iron handles synthetics, wool, and cotton at the appropriate heat levels. Three steam options let you steam constantly or in bursts, or use the vertical delivery for hanging garments. Designed for effortless glide, Rowenta's stainless-steel soleplate is scratch resistant, with a mirror finish and an arc of dimples to reduce drag. The comfortable handle folds up for storage and locks into place for use, and the built-in water tank is easy to fill and empty. With true dual voltage, the iron works with 120- or 240-volt systems. Complete with its own durable nylon bag for travel, the little Latitude is well worth the extra space in your suitcase. --Emily Bedard
I finally found a travel iron that actually works!!! Over the years I have purchased a number of travel irons, only to be disappointed when they did not do the job. I resigned myself to wearing wrinkled clothes on vacation. But I have to say the Rowenta has made a believer out of me. Unlike most travel irons, this heats just as well as an home iron and it does an excellent job when it is used as a vertical steamer. And the nylon carry case is a plus.I cannot recommend this product enough. Buy with confidence. Travel Sharp As a veteran hotel jockey, I try to unfold our suitcase to find a travel mess with our clothing. The travel inon from Rowenta has been not only a travel saver, but a business saver.We look as great as (or at least our clothes) possible. The multi-function of the steam is the best we have encountered. An added bonus, was is the free shipping with a purchase over [money] with Amazon.com. A truly winning combination. We could not sing enough praise about this product. It even looks great! The price at Amazon is even the best we have found. A travel jockey must! Great Travel Iron! I travel quite a bit with my fiance and we always had wrinkled clothes after my poor packing job in our suitcase. I decided to get this travel iron to help and I have not been disappointed!This iron is tiny (weighs I think 1.7 pounds) and works extremely well! It heats up just as well as my at home iron! One of the other great features is the vertical steamer, which works extremely well too. It is very portable, especially since the handle folds to lie flat. It comes in a nice travel pouch as well.The cost is extremely reasonable too, especially if it shows up in your gold box! With free shipping its a real bargin. I highly recommend this iron, you will not be disappointed!

Amazon Sales Rank: #198129 in Health and Beauty Brand: Wave Rage Model: WR-023 Dimensions: 5.00 pounds

Hot Item This is a great item in you're in the market for a crimper. In fact, it's the only one I've been able to find in the last couple of years. As a straighter, it works fairly well, but not as single-purpose straighteners. The plates are easy to change, and there is a locking mechanism to prevent burns while you are heating or cooling the styler. However 1) there is no on/off, you can only turn it off or on by the plug and 2) there is no handle and the plastic heats up quite a bit. Overall I would say it's a decent quality item for the price.

Black & Decker The Classis Steam Dry Iron I bought this iron because I liked the weight of it. I sew a lot and a heavy iron is helpful for fusing interfacing when sewing. The problem I had with the iron is that it doesn't heat properly. Right out of the box, brand new the iron did not get hot enough to turn the water into steam, even on the highest temperature settings. Cord is too short My complaint with this iron is that it doesn't have a longer cord. Other than that it does a great job. A nice no frills iron. The Heavyweight Iron Champ It's always good to rely on something as STURDY as this iron. The weight adds to the swiftness of ironing the creases of the clothes. You can tell it's manufactured really well once you've received it. The metal plate warms up fast and is definitely made to cater to different types of fabrics. This definitely falls on my recommended products list.

Ironing Sleeve with an Emblem Patch? I work for a federal agency which requires me to wear a uniform and since I prefer to do my own shirts instead of paying someone else I needed and easier way to get my sleeves ironed without leaving an impression of my emblem patches on the other side of the sleeves. This item has completely solved the problem and has made sleeve ironing much easier. Definitely recommend to anyone with a uniform shirt. Great little ironing board at a great little price! I bought this sleeve board to use mostly for ironing the legs of my pants, as I don't wear many long-sleeved shirts. It is really nice to have, to prevent creases on the back side of sleeves, pant legs, etc. I wish I had had it, too, when my kids were little, as I can see that it would be perfect for smaller clothes. what a bummer well, unfortunately this is another of those items that you buy with high hopes, but it ends up just taking up space in the closet... issues i have with it: 1. it moves around when i'm trying to get the sleeve on it (i need a couple more hands) 2. due to the location of the stand, i'm unable to get the whole sleeve onto the board, so really you can only do the end of the sleeve. I tried using it twice and gave up. it's not worth the extra time it takes just to do one tiny part of the sleeves.

A perfect "guys" iron When my old iron recently self destructed on me, (I didn't even know they had a self destruct switch) I popped onto Amazon and ordered up a new one. The first thing you'll notice is the nice price and the free shipping. That shipping I found out is also fast, I ordered it on a Wed morning and Thurs night it was waiting for me. It's a great basic iron for anyone who doesn't do a great deal of ironing. It's very light weight, although maybe a little too light, I've already knocked it off the counter a couple of times and the little arrow you set the temperature with is a little hard too see (picky, picky) but if you really only have to do a few shirts for work, it's perfect. Smartek Steam Iron "I purchased this iron about a week ago and it is great.There are multiple level settings for steam as well as temperatures. The steam works really well and the iron gets really hot. It is a lightweight iron. I recommend this iron for anyone who does a lot of ironing or for someone (like me) who don't do much ironing but wants a GOOD iron when I do." The Best of the Best I'm impressed with this iron because the price is so reasonable and the product is reliable. It's easy to spend more money on something that may seem to be better because of it's BRAND name but why pay more when this iron is just as good or better.

   

Men's TaylorMade Rescue Mid Woods Utility
From TaylorMade

The TaylorMade Rescue Mid features a higher moment of inertia than a long iron and a lower, deeper center of gravity. These elements work together to produce an expansive sweetspot and sought-after combination of high launch angle with higher spin that produces high, long, fast-stopping shots. In addition, the Rescue Mid features Pull-Face construction technology, which allows TaylorMade engineers to design a small-yet-flexible clubface with high COR, adding ball velocity, and subsequently, distance.

Alternative to the conventional 3 iron For those of you who have trouble hitting a conventional 3 iron consistently in your bag, this hybrid will improve your score. The two tone black/metallic color does not cause a glare and the club is easy to address. The club sets up square and has a little bit of offset. Feedback from a well struck swing is excellent. With this club (versus a conventional 3 iron), I typically hit it with a draw. It is the only club that I can hit a draw consistently. I also utilize the 4 hybrid (22 degrees). I have improved my score by 2 to 3 strokes since taking out the 3 and 4 irons out of the bag. The major issue is that it goes about 15 to 20 yards further for me, than a well struck 3 conventional iron (which doesn't happen often) - so it functions more like a 5 wood in the bag, for me. You need to try this club out and see where it falls into the scheme of your yardages. Many newer hybrids sell for $150 to $200. At the current discounted price, it's a steal.

HORRIBLE IRON - buy Rowenta instead! I foolishly bought something other than my beloved Rowenta irons when I saw this attractive iron that looked so high end. NOT! Within ONE MONTH the doggone thing rusted (and left rust spots on my clothes before I noticed!), leaked during upright storage AND THEN DIED SUDDENLY for no reason! Within ONE MONTH! You should avoid the Shark brand as if you were swimming in the ocean. worst iron I have owned I purchased this iron about 6 months ago (not from amazon) and thought I might have made a great purchase. It worked wonderfully at first, but then began acting up by turning off when using it and you would constantly have to turn it back on by shaking it (auto off feature). Finally, it quit working. In my opinion, it is a waste of money! And I paid $59 for it! Now, I'm off to find a better iron. Hope your insurance is paid up I purchased this iron for my wife approximately 2 months ago. It was shiny and seemed to fit my wife's needs (she does alot of sewing). It worked well until yesterday when it CAUGHT FIRE!!!!! I have read several other accounts of this same issue. Avoid this iron like the plague.

   

Bernzomatic TS4000 Trigger Start Torch
From Bernzomatic


Amazon Sales Rank: #964 in Home Improvement Brand: Bernzomatic Model: TS4000 Number of items: 1 Dimensions: 13.00" h x 5.50" w x 1.75" l, 1.31 pounds
The BernzoMatic trigger-started cast aluminum torch head light is a self-igniting high-temperature torch head designed for easy operation. Simply pull the trigger for ignition, and release it to turn off. This head produces a swirl flame and burns propane or mapp gas. Pressure regulation allows the flame to burn in any direction and ensures consistent performance. Even while the flame burns, the replaceable brass tip stays cool. The stainless steel burn tube, cast aluminum body, and brass burn tip are constructed for durability. The BernzoMatic torch head weighs 1.3 pounds and is backed with a 1-year limited warranty. IRWIN Industrial Tools Trigger Start Torch is designed to increase fuel savings and convenience. It keeps the torch lit for finger-free use and produces swirl flame for maximum heat output. This torch has pressure which is regulated to burn in all directions. It is made from cast aluminum which ensures extreme durability. This torch is of multi-application and can be used with propane fuel.
Easy start torch, either propane of MAPP I bought this torch, because I saw some plumbers using one. It starts with a button push (utilyzing a built in piezoelectric spark generator), so you can turn it on and off without any hassel. My older torches all require an external ignition source, usually a flint spark tool used by oxy-acetylene welders. So, once I light one of my older torches, I usually leave it on. Also, I have separate MAPP and propane torches - this torch burns both gasses, and does not seem to spit or flare up on MAPP when inverted, as my older torches do. But it does cost twice as much. You get what you pay for. By the way, MAPP = MethylAcetylene ProPadiene. Simply the best! I think my first trigger start Bernzomatic torch (not sure if exactly the same model)lasted about 15 years. Wife gave me a TS3000 for XMAS to replace it. I had to return it and cannot recommend the TS3000 since you have to manually turn the gas on and off. The TS4000 allows for one handed operation with gas flow and ignition controlled by a single knob. Squeeze..its on...release its off. I cannot imagine performing a large plumbing job without this tool. The Wonderous BernzoMatic TS4000T Never have I lived and worked so well now that I possess possibly the best propane torch ever invented. My life is now a bit more painless and more secure.Many thanks to the the creators of the Bernzomatic ts4000. Truth to tell, I have used the old type of torches for many years. I have always felt a little uncomfortable using them. The torches are top heavy and when in use, working, it has always been troubling finding a place to sit the torch when lit that would not accidently fall over. At last I am free from finding a stiker to light it.I can easily turn it off and just lay it down. The additional safety feature of the torch, only being on when needed, and the effeciency of not burning any more fuel than one needs makes this tool one that every craftsman should own.This new design is well worth the money.

Professional results in less time! I purchased the 32" model, after reading reviews that complaint about the small steam area in some other models. After using this steam press for 4 loads of mixed family laundry I am truly impressed. At first, I had to get used to placing the items on the press correctly, but once I learned how, my husband's pants took only 4 presses to get professional looking results. The secret to cutting the number of presses on thick clothing down is to use the water bottle in addition to the steam from the press. On my children's clothes, 2 presses on one side of the fabric is all that is required. I love this machine, and my husband was sceptical at first for spending over $200, but after he saw his pants and shirts neatly pressed, he agreed that it was a purchase worth while. FEIYUE YAMATA Family Press FP202L The steam press is a great item. A bit pricey, but the convenience is worth it. We bought this unit to make ironing school clothes go faster, and maybe even press some of my husband's work shirts. The unit is well made, and heats up evenly and fast. The steam reservoir is generous and provides a nice burst of steam- really helps to get the wrinkles out! Kids cotton shirts come out great- just two presses (I can only fit 1/2 the shirt on the press at a time)with a bit of starch and they go to school looking neat. Pants are still a bit of trouble- especially in the seat area. I like to press the legs and then iron the rest. As with typing... practice makes perfect. I know in a few more days I will have it down to a science. The unit is heavy and well balanced, but does tip when applying the lock for the press. It may be worthwhile to invest in the customized stand. didn't last I too LOVED this machine for the two months it worked. After two months it wouldn't heat anymore. The manufacturer was willing to repair but it would cost almost $100 to get it shipped to them DHL and another $35 they charge to ship it back. (saving the original box would have cut my cost to ship it to them by about $20). That would almost pay for a new one. I will look for a different brand this time.

UNBEATABLE! My wife had one few years ago but it stopped working after 3 or 4 times it felt down to the floor. Then, she had tried not less than 6 brands and models of irons, but no one as good as this one. It really works fast. Try it and you will love it. I bought two of them, just in case. I'll never buy another iron less than 1500 Watts! 100% recommended. Great Iron The last few years, I've been through several irons. This iron is great so far, but first a few comments on irons in general. How I wish I had not thrown out that very old electric iron when it broke. It was basic and could easily tackle any type of material. You moved the heat setting higher by the numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) There was no need to translate the numbers to the type of material. That is something I can do myself by how well the material can be ironed on a heat setting. One would think in this day and age that there would be some great choices in irons. I expected much more from the newer irons, but over the years I probably purchased 4 - 5 irons and have not been happy with any of them. They each broke for different reasons after only a couple of years which is typical of irons today. This time I did some on-line research, which served to support what I found in my own iron purchases. Irons are more delicate today and have way too many features that are not needed. They break easily and don't last more than a few years. Don't knock one over or that may well be the end of the iron. My last iron only had 1100 watts. The reviewer who said not to buy an iron under 1500 watts is correct. The difference in ease of ironing is amazing. I felt guilty buying a new iron when I had one that worked but there really is no comparison. An 1100 watt iron makes ironing a real chore and tires you out. Right after I bought the new iron, I noticed the sole plate on the old iron was starting to peel off. I threw it out. Now back to the new iron. This year I tried iron-on transfers for the first time. This iron was perfect for that task. I plan to do a lot of sewing this year, and this iron will be up to the task of ironing any material. If I had a lot of ironing to do, I think it would work well for regular ironing. The cord length is nice. The weight of the iron is good as it isn't too heavy. The iron glided easily over the material. It seems well made. I rarely use the steam feature on irons, so can't comment on that. I find it much easier to dampen clothes by sprinkling water on them and rolling them up a few minutes prior to ironing. My wish list for irons: One feature I would drop would be the beeping feature that tells you when an iron is hot enough. It is unnecessary. I mean if you can't tell when an iron is hot enough without bells and whistles, then perhaps you should not be ironing. It is just one more thing that could cause an iron to break. Looking far back at that very first iron (dark ages in irons), I would also like to have an iron with a dial setting that lets you turn the heat higher or lower as needed. What I would like to see the iron manufactures do is to produce a solid, reliable basic iron at about 1700 watts without a computer or integrated circuits or fancy features. If this iron gives me any problems, I'll be back with an update but so far I love it.

Efficient and clean iron I truly enjoy using this iron. While it's difficult to find the Downy Wrinkle Releaser in the stores, I recently ordered the product from the Downy website after using the sample included with the iron. The iron has a large plate and irons quickly and efficiently. There is lots of steam and usage of the wrinkle releaser makes the wrinkles disappear faster. My shirts look great every day now.

Love it! I get monthly chemical relaxers, so I just need a flat iron to take the texture out of my hair when I blow dry. I don't know about using a flat iron as a daily straighener because my hair is already chemically straightened. My texture is medium-coarse and this iron leaves my hair shiny and soft. I use my FHI once a week whenever I wash it, and I feel the difference for days. The CHI may have just been too hot for my hair because the one I had didn't have the temperature setting. After I used this FHI a few times, I gave my old CHI to my friend. My hair would be shinny with the CHI, but it would also feel hard and fried. Plus after about 2 days, it seems like it needed to use some serious CHI heat again which may have contributed to my hair breakage so I stopped using it. My hair dresser uses FHI and my hair always feel great. I would get many compliments so after getting my hair back into health, I turned again to the high heat ceramics. When I use the FHI, I can go a nearly a week with using minimial or no additional heat. I especially noticed the difference in the back of my hair (known to some as the "kitchen"). I still use my good cheapo ceramic conair iron daily at a low setting as needed. I could also use the FHI daily at the lower settings, but the cheaper irons do just as well after my hair is initially strengthened with the FHI. So why burn out this expensive iron everyday? I've used many flat irons and hair products. To me, the health of your hair and your regime makes a huge in the determining whether a hair tool or hair product works. I definitely recommend any flat iron that is ceramic. Even the cheap ones help my hair hold moisture - less frying. It makes a huge difference for me! Combine it with a ionic dryer, a great conditioner and setting lotion, and I am good! Can't Ask For Much More.... I have very coarse curly hair, and this iron does the trick. It gets super hot, heats up in about 15 seconds and straightens quickly and very effectively. I can get it to that nice silky smooth straight, not the disappointing straight-ish frizz girls like me are often stuck with. I thought about the 1 3/4", but the 1" lets me get my bangs and it's still no problem for handling long hair quickly. I used Amazon Prime and got it the next day.Couldn't be happier! Highly Dissatisfied with this FHI I decided to try this FHI platform flat iron based on the many good reviews these flat irons have received. However, I returned this FHI because it altered the texture of my hair regardless of which temperature I used. Applying heat protector products for hair did not change the strange results I was getting. My hair looked terrible with the use of this flat iron. Moreover, it was taking too long to style my hair with this product. I am caucasian with medium thick, tends to frizz, shoulder length hair and my old Paul Mitchell flat iron always produced great results in just a few minutes-smooth,straight and shiny hair. So, I returned the FHI and ordered the Paul Mitchell Ion styler flat iron which I am alot happier with. I'll be sticking with the Paul Mitchell stylers in the future.
