Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Although it lasted six years, my Rowenta puffed its last burst of steam and I wanted to replace it with a reliable and less expensive iron. This PurSteam iron reminds me of the GE model I grew up with, only better. I've bought Black & Decker and Rowenta steam irons, and would rank the PurSteam with B&D as the best I've used. When I took the PurSteam out of the box, I was surprised that it has a nice, comfortable heft despite its size. On the trial run, I used less time and steam to iron than I did with the Rowenta. The settings and steam/dry controls are easy to use. The vertical steam feature was another selling point. If you need a practical and excellent iron, go with this one.
