Braun SI6285 FreeStyle Pro Steam Iron, Silver |
Rating: 2 (out of 5)
Summary: Too many problems
Comments: I purchased the FreeStylePro a 1 1/2 years ago. It just stopped working. During that time I was not happy with the water leaking out of the plate & the fact that I had to unplug it when not in use - I would not trust the auto shut off. Like others have said - all the bells & whistles are useless - just need a simple great iron. I will try to contact Braun & see if I can get a replacement. |

Summary: Perpetuating the iron stereotype.
Comments: As irons go, this1blends right in. From the 1st time it's fired up it produces insufficient and irregular heat. Auto-shutoff paranoia is warranted as the unit will choose when to shut down, apparently via some random algorithm, not at the documented time. I have seen it run anywhere from 1 minute to 8 hours before turning off. Then there is the leakage -- you will get wet. Some of this may be due to the insufficient heat however I have had the unit on max and seen it empty the reservoir in short time. To summarize: not only will this iron see you off to work in wrinkled and wet clothes, it may also burn the house down while you are there. |

Summary: I love this iron!!
Comments: I purchased this iron because my old iron kept leaking water and ruining my clothes. I did a lot of research and decided on this one. I am glad I did. I love it!! I have had it 3 months now and have not had any problems. Definately a great purchase!! |

Summary: What Auto Shut off?
Comments: I have had this iron for 3 weeks and already the auto shut off feature has stopped working. I had a great deal of difficulty finding an iron that I wanted to purchase, becasue I have not been able to find any that have both manual and auto shut off. I know I should be unplugging the iron each day, however I just do not want to have to do that. I am usually pleased with Braun products, so I resigned to the fact that I was not going to find "the" iron and purchased a brand that I trust. The iron was fine, not exceptional, until I got home from work last week and the iron was still on (10 hours later). I am disappointed and the iron is going back today!! |

Summary: great steam iron
Comments: I have this for a litle over 2 months. And have cut my ironing time in 1/2. It steams beautifully and pressing out the worst of the wrinkle without the need to press down on the iron. This is summer when there is a lot more to iron - all those cottons and linens. No drips, no drops or surprises. I saw that a man wrote a review of this iron and liked it!! Any man who can iron and like it, well at least like the iron he's using, has to insprire me!! That's why I decided to give this product a chance. He was right, it glides and performs well. I do not like to iron. It's1of those thank less tasks in life; people just expect you to show up in unwrinkled clothes. Although I'd rather not have to iron, this machine makes it so much easier - and it gets done in a lot less time. |
