CONAIRGlideLite Professional Iron, Steam Iron for Clothes, Simple One-Temp Technology, Friction-Free Easy Glide Soleplate

I've owned a lot of irons, and I generally find that the pricier ones don't provide a level of value or quality that justifies the higher price. That's not the case with the Conair GlideLite; it gets the job done really well. The GlideLite does take a bit of getting used to. First, it's pretty swoopy-looking. Put a few blinking light on it and it could pass for a spacecraft in one of the more recent Star Trek series. Next, there's only one heat setting and it seems to be on the cooler side. It makes up the difference with lots of steam. This strikes me as a good thing for man-made fabrics; I don't have to worry about melting my nylon hiking shorts (yes, I iron my hiking shorts - don't judge), but I was concerned that it wouldn't get hot enough to work well on linen. And with heat alone, it really doesn't do a whole lot on linen. But hit the steam button, and the story changes. With the steam feature activated, it makes a soft "chuff-chuff" noise. I find this kind of reassuring, like it's saying to me, "I've got your back, buddy; we're going to get through this shirt together". And we do; both cotton and linen smooth out really well with this iron. There's also a Turbo Steam button, but I truthfully haven't found a situation that's required it so far. The only real caveat is that the amount of steam this baby puts out means that you'll want to keep your other hand a bit father away from the iron than you might with a more traditional one.Other things I like: this is the only iron I've ever seen with an on-off button. It's nice to not have to unplug it if I'm jumping back and forth between ironing and other tasks. And it heats up really fast; we're ready to go in maybe 30-45 seconds.One thing I'd change: The water reservoir is made of gray-tinted plastic that looks pretty nice, but makes it kind of hard to see the water level.If you're ready to replace the iron you got as a housewarming gift 15 years ago and want something nicer than your standard Black & Decker, buy one of these; you won't be disappointed.

This iron is perfect for the household. It's good for all fabric. Has a good weight.

Works as advertised with great steam on normal setting with no need to use turbo. The reason for four stars: water level is not visible, causing me to overfill.

This was a previously purchased iron. After receiving the iron I set up the ironing board and selected a couple of blouses to test it out. I used distilled water to fill the reservoir. Followed the directions and started ironing. The iron heated up as written. It did glide over the seersucker blouse. Then I realized that there was a water spot forming on the ironing board cover. I continued ironing the blouse and the longer I ironed the bigger the water spot became. I observed that the rear of the iron that water was dripping out of the reservoir. I wrote all of this on the return form.

Had my doubts but I like this technology cause u cant burn clothes but it works awesome steam is strong irons great sturdy build worth the price gonna buy another!!!!!

The iron worked as advertised, and it's great. There is no temperature setting to mess around with; it's not the hot iron that is removing the wrinkles, it's the steam. I have tried it on all sorts of fabrics, jeans, cotton, wool, and khakis, and it removes the wrinkles without me having to press down on the iron and try and force them out. I haven't had any issues with the iron sticking onto the clothes, it glides around smoothly every time. I also love how fast it gets ready; it really takes just 30 seconds to get started. This is the best iron I've ever used, and I would recommend it to anyone.

It is so easy to use! The iron heats up very quickly, glides smoothly over different materials, and does a great job removing wrinkles. The only negative, and it's a small one, is that I found it hard to see the water in the reservoir. Overall a exemplary product.
