A self-cleaning unit with built-in variable steam, this 1400-watt Shark iron tackles stubborn wrinkles in everyday garments and hanging fabrics. Full-size for efficient coverage, the iron features a polished stainless steel soleplate that glides easily, retains heat well, and resists scratching. Though it can be used dry, it also offers variable steam with a sliding intensity control and a burst of steam function for the most intractable creases. Vertical steam lets you eliminate wrinkles while clothes are on the hanger, and the iron also has a misting spray feature. A clearly marked dial controls the temperature on this model, and the water reservoir is transparent for easy monitoring.

For extra safety, the iron has an anti-drip design to cut water flow when levels are too low to build enough steam. It also automatically shuts off after 6 minutes in any position. This is a very helpful feature, though it is not as speedily triggered as in some comparable models. An anti-calc filter and a self-cleaning setting keep the iron in good condition, while the rubberized grip and swivel cord make operation comfortable. Euro-Pro includes a one-year warranty. --Emily Bedard Shark Full Sized Iron
