Proctor Silex Steam Iron for Clothes with Durable Stainless Steel Soleplate, 1500 Watts, 8’ Retractable Cord, 3-Way Auto Shutoff, Anti-Drip, Gray and Black (14250)

I have ordered so many irons and been disappointed. This iron is great although I wish it did get a little hotter. Best features: does not dribble and 30 minute auto shut-off (better for sewing). It got bad reviews due to retractable cord breaking but I do not use it, preferring to leave it out.

After over 20 years of use, my Rowenta started leaking. Not wanting to spend a lot of money, decided to give this $26 iron a try. It's great. Heats up almost immediately. Very easy to see & move the settings. Easy to fill the water, too. Was surprised it had a retractable cord, but it works just fine. Steam works great. I mostly iron cotton fabrics for quilting & I'm pleased with the results. The negatives I see are that it has to be unplugged to turn completely off. At 30 minutes of inactivity, it beeps & shuts down. However, the red light bar on the handle continues blinking unless you unplug it. I wish it just turned off, but maybe it's a safety feature? The iron is much bigger & heavier than my previous one. The sole plate is the same size, but it's a good 3" taller. And, it weighs just over 4 lbs. It felt heavy to me when I 1st used it, but not a problem now.

Although, I hate to iron, I love my new iron! It is very easy to use and does a great job of removing wrinkles. I love that the cord is retractable.

This is a good solid iron. Proctor Silex has been around for generations and this is a modern take on their original mid-range product. Takes about a minute or so to heat up but when it does it's consistent. Spray and steam functions work well. The retractable cord retracts 3/4 of the way even though it is described as fully retractable. (I've never seen one that fully retracts, even in the high end models I've used so...) This is a substantial piece and feels heavy in your hand like the ones used years ago. I've used lighter weight irons and they don't perform as well as ones with a bit of heft. This one does not disappoint. If you need a iron that's going to be there when you need it, this one will serve you well.

easy to use nice good for the price

Heavy duty iron. Great features like auto turn off, retractable cord, great steam. Only complaint would be that you have to carefully allow the cord to retract so that the entire cord goes back in its space.

Normally, I hate shopping for small appliances on Amazon because there’s like 10,000 irons or whatever. This time I used Chat GPT to talk about two brands of irons, Rowenta and Proctor Silex. The Proctor Silex won out for its simpler design that made adjusting temperature and steam simple. It was ergonomically better for grip and movement. It had great reviews and seemed to have lasting value and longer lifespan than Rowenta’s products. At this price, I couldn’t be happier with its performance, its weight and handling. Heats up water quickly, but goes through it quickly, too - much faster than my previous iron. That’s not a complaint, just a heads up. Oh, and it also has a self cleaning mode, which is a really neat feature for keeping steam holes and plate clean and clear. Finally, it’s got a nice color and design, much more attractive than others in its class. Buy this one!

Great iron except the spray nozzle does not work. I missed the return window so I called proctor silex and paid $15 in shipping to get a replacement under the 1 year warranty. Unfortunately, this one has the exact same problem. I’m at a loss and now invested more in this iron than I wanted and could have gotten a better one for the money. Very disappointed.

Cumple, el retractil super practico, esta un poco pesada, pero ayuda en la inercia del planchado. Elegante y funcional.
