Steamfast SF-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.

I've had this iron for a while now and use it every weekend when working on a sewing project. At first I didn't like it. Infact, I almost sent it back. My mistake was thinking it would work like my big, regular iron and it doesn't. However, that is it's magic. It's not arm tiring heavy. There is no cord to get in the way and it magically turns itself off if I step away long enough. My regular iron does none of these things. The real eye opening moment was when I used it with a wool pad. It really shined then. It did not shine for me on a regular iron board or pad but a wool pad and the dial turned up far up to the proper setting worked wonders. It has a steam function that can be easily turned on or off and the steam function is good at getting out those pesky wrinkles if you're using a wool ironing pad. It has a carrying case lid and it's very easy and light to transport or to take with you to a friend's house or get together to sew. You also do not need a silicone pad as it rests in its base. I've had it up to max and I've not had any melting or anything of the base. Yes, it stays hot enough for me to make a pass or two and then I put it back in the base, making sure it's all the way back and it will click on and heat up quickly to remove and continue. It's well worth it's cost and I'm glad I didn't give up on it the first time I used it. I love it now and would buy another one in an instant.

I was looking for a cheap way to find out if cordless irons are any good. This is small, heats up quickly and convenient. There are quite a few draw backs though. It does not get hot enough. I don't know if this is a cordless in general problem or specific to this iron, but it does not get as hot as my corded and doesn't not get hot enough for a lot of my projects. The iron "times out" and stops heating too fast. It is not very friendly for tossing something through the machine then pressing. By the time I have ran a few items through, it has stopped heating. Last being continuous ironing. I can't just keep ironing a big area like my whole quilt top without putting it back on the base to heat up multiple times. But I do like the price of it and I do like it for small items at my sewing table.

My second of the same iron and neither lasted 1 year! Wouldn't heat up as I needed. Love the cordless, but need it to last.

This iron is just right to sit at my sewing table! Works perfectlyy

This little cordless iron is perfect for your sewing and crafts room. It doesn't take up much space and has a nice storage cover, is not heavy, is easy to add water too and heats up nice and quick. I haven't had any problems with water leakage, but I have only had it a week. Update: After only a week, I was ironing fabric and at first the steam wouldn't work, but when I picked it up water started leaking out of the side.

I love this iron! Silly sounding, I know. Being 55 years old and seeing the evolution of the iron, having a cordless iron is so cool! I sew quite a bit and this makes it so much easier. The carrying case is a definite plus as well. Get it! Enjoy it!

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.
