Comment:
This iron was a serious disappointment. I have used Rowenta irons for years, and was attracted to the lower maintenance sole plate of the Singer. The iron began leaking water from day 1, and is a bear to fill. Water regurgitates through the top fill spout and creates a mess on the ironing board. It performs competently once in use. Perhaps CR should also add a leak test and a water filling test to their test battery since these are very important features to product evaluability, not just how the product steams and glides.

Comment:
So far so good. Contrary to CR's review statements, this iron does have a button to turn it off - it's the same button as the on/temp up button, just have to hold it in for a few seconds. <br /><br />We've been pleased so far, seems to work fine, better than our old cheapie iron. This one can be hard to find out there. Seems like all the places that sell it to you order it from the manufacturer only after you order, so expect a long lead time from most sellers.
How long have you owned it:
Three-to-six months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

The Worst Ever!

Comment:
I bought this iron based on the Consumer Reports reviews. I'm sorry I did.<br />The best thing I can say about this iron is that it heats quickly; otherwise it's a poor choice.<br />It randomly will stop steaming or shut itself off while being used. It spits water with the burst of steam. It's very big and heavy; I had to lower my ironing board to make it comfortable to use. I would not recommend this to anyone, and I'm looking for something better.
