Piece of crap

bymargkboy Mar 6, 2006
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Heavy, very hot and had a good steam feature when it worked
Cons Oozed brown goo and stopped working after 6 months
Recommended it? No

I bought this iron thinking it would last. Turns out it is just a piece of junk. It started oozing a brown liquid after the first few uses (yes I did the self-cleaning thing before first use) and ruined clothing. Then it stopped heating up all together. Don't waste your money on this piece of crap... Read full review »

Took mine back....Twice

Pros Gets hot, does a good job on linen. I liked the electronic heating guide.
Cons Leaking of black substance from steam chamber, very heavy iron, easy to tip over
Recommended it? No

I had trouble with this iron leaking a black gooey substance onto the sole plate. Some of it would rub off but some stayed in the depressions. With the first one I thought it was just a freak happening. When the second one did the same thing three times I returned it. I did do the pre-use cleaning... Read full review »

EURO TRASH

bytrombino Dec 28, 2005
1 Helpfuls 2 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros None
Cons Leaky, not hot enough
Recommended it? No

Similar to other reviewers, this iron randomly switches to a lower temperature. I have noticed that if I invert the iron and press the indicator button, I can increase the temperature. However, the iron does not get as hot as it did when it was new, about six months ago. It is also difficult to... Read full review »

Stay away from this iron

bybidder9924 Nov 22, 2005
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Plenty of steam and does a good job when properly handled
Cons Being casual with this iron is very dangerous - no margin for error!
Recommended it? No

This iron does not leak, still generates plenty of steam, and does basic ironing tasks well after 9 months. So why can't I recommend it? I think it is unsafe!

The iron is quite top heavy and will fall over at the slightest jiggle of the ironing board. Additionally, its lights still... Read full review »

HORRIBLE IRONS!!!

byedimarzio Nov 14, 2005
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Looks pretty
Cons Might as well be broken out of the box...
Recommended it? No

Everything written is 100% true. When this iron works, it is the greatest iron ever. A true joy to use.

But good luck getting it to work. It turns off randomly while ironing. And after 1 year of use, the water element broke...and it now water just flows through the thing.

I have... Read full review »

This Shark needs to be Harpooned!

Pros Cool video on the box that will entertain your kids for 10 or 15 minutes.
Cons Poor Quality, Short Life Span, Possible Fire Hazard
Recommended it? No

My last iron was a $100 Rowenta Pro. Loved it while it worked but for a hundred bucks, I wanted something to last more than a year.

Several months ago we saw the Shark Euro-Pro at BJ's Wholesale Club. It was on a featured display with a video...there's even a cool video right on the box!... Read full review »

This Iron stinks!!!

Pros Had good steam for the 6 to 10 hours it worked.
Cons Won't heat.
Recommended it? No

I bought this iron from Target about 10 months ago. I thought I would pay extra and get a better product, was I wrong. It has been used very little (single male household).
It seems the heating element went out as the light just blinks on the lowest setting and it never gets hot. I called the... Read full review »

Too complex to function properly

byewx050 Sep 7, 2005
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros It gets hot. Self-clean works well.
Cons Turns itself off randomly!
Recommended it? No

Bought this iron about 2 months ago at Target. Thought that if I spent a pretty good dollar on an iron ($60), I might get one that works. I guess I was wrong.

1.) The temperature setting button has to be coaxed into working.

2.) The thing shuts itself off whenever it feels like... Read full review »

A Great Un-reliable Iron

3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Works great when it's working.
Cons Unreliable heating element.
Recommended it? No

Just as others have wrote, the iron works great when it works. I have been through 4 of these irons. You ask why so many if they don't last??? Well, they have been within the 90 days that Target offers for free replacement except the last one. That one lasted 6 months. I'm sending it back to the... Read full review »

Great Iron, Poor Reliability

Pros Great iron, good steam action
Cons Uses a lot of water for steam
Recommended it? No

Judging from the previous reviewer's comments,it's good to know it wasn't just me.

This is the second Shark/Euro Pro iron that I have owned. They are wonderful irons, but their reliability is poor. I had this model for all of 5 weeks when it became lukewarm and would not get to a higher... Read full review »
