Euro-Pro GI490 Iron with Auto Shut-off

Pros: Looks. Stainless steel plate.

Cons: Leaks. Unreliable. Expensive. Poor quality. Filling is slow.

Review: This iron looks great and has great hype all over the box. However, It never really did that good a job of ironing. I always had to up the temperature one notch to get rid of wrinkles. I also had to press the extra steam button frequently just to...

Pros: Great for a few months!

Cons: Without warning, completely dies after 5 months. Nothing customer service would do to fix it.

The Bottom Line: THIS PRODUCT STINKS - DON'T BUY IT.

Review: Hi, all -

I seriously wish I would have read your comments before putting the Shark on my registry. My husband and I have now been married 5 months, and received this as a gift for the wedding.

At first, I was so excited to have...

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

The Bottom Line: Keep away, Sharks Bite!

Review: 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...

Pros: Worked well when it worked

Cons: Water leaked, turned off when ironing

Review: We have the same problem as many of the other reviews. Water leaking out the front. Called Shark - same story as others - $30 to fix plus shipping. Could not understand the customer service person (foreigner!). Called again to try to talk with...

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!

Review: 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...

Pros: This lousy iron made me realize the importance of buying a good iron.

Cons: Probably the worst appliance I've ever bought.

Review: Worst iron ever. Keeps tipping over when it's standing upright. constantly leaks water because temperature isn't constant, doesn't seem to get wrinkles out easily, and the outside sweats and drips on items while I'm ironing. Made ironing a shirt for...

Pros: Heats quickly

Cons: Leaks like a cheap diaper.

Review: I am in the military and iron my uniforms daily. I've been through A LOT of irons throughout my 12 years and I have to say that this iron is in the bottom three. I bought this one as a replacement for the Rowenta that I dropped on the floor (I'm...
