Euro-Pro GI490 Iron with Auto Shut-off

Pros: Sleek look and smooth feel.

Cons: Won't last long... The heating element is GARBAGE

Review: I should have read these reviews before buying. My experiences with the SHARK are identical to the other posts...

Bought the SHARK at Target. The box was eye catching, it looked sleek and the features seemed perfect.

Over time,...

Pros: Looks great, adjustable steam, great self-cleaning feature.

Cons: Didn't work for long, cord hard to place, hard to put water in the iron

Review: I wish I had read the other epinions before purchasing this product. It worked well while it lasted but it did not last long. The cord now has a short and the spray button has fallen off. My new rule is to never spend more than $19.99 plus tax for...

Pros: Powerful steam burst. Best iron I ever owned until it just STOPPED WORKING!

Cons: Not reliable. Stops working without any warning.

Review: Nice looking,heavy duty iron. Has steam and spray buttons that are easy to access with the touch of the thumb. I purchased my irons from a local Target store. Owned the first Shark iron for about 6 months. Light comes on, but it never worked again...

Pros: Heavy, very hot and had a good steam feature when it worked

Cons: Oozed brown goo and stopped working after 6 months

Review: 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...

Pros: Nice looking, heavy iron with great steam output.

Cons: Died in less than nine months.

Review: The Shark iron came from Target for $49.95.
It performed well for just under nine months, then shorted
out and died. The problem appered to have been in the pivot ball where the cord enters the iron: it sparked then
lost all power...

Pros: Great iron, good steam action

Cons: Uses a lot of water for steam

Review: 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...

Pros: Looks pretty slick.

Cons: Leaks. Tips. Not user friendly.

Review: I had leak problems with this iron. It is unstable when set upright and loses steam continuously if not upright. It has fallen from my board countless times and is missing a stand piece (now impossible to stand upright) and cover for the water fill...

Pros: Works great when it's working.

Cons: Unreliable heating element.

Review: 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...

Pros: Had good steam for the 6 to 10 hours it worked.

Cons: Won't heat.

Review: 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...

Pros: Irons clothes well. Has lots of settings.

Cons: Not reliable.

Review: This iron broke on me after a few weeks. It was not dropped. It was used on a daily basis until one day, it didn't want to turn on anymore.
