 When it works, it's wonderful May 29, 2008
We've owned several. Beautiful weight and functionality.
However, the last one leaked uncontrollably from a manufacturing flaw. When I dissected the iron to discover why, I found the wire clamp on the red rubber hose to one of the steam/spray buttons had been put on in such a way that the red rubber had been torn apart during the manufacturing process. If Sunbeam fixes this, they'll have a winner. But there seems no easy way to get through to the company.
I'm buying one more, hoping for solid manufacturing, because otherwise we love it.
 OK IRON February 14, 2008

Wanting to avoid spending $60-80 on an iron, this lower priced model ($32) looked promising. It had a plain design with no gimmicky setting controls, a good weight, and solid feel. I was also taken in by the "Steam Master" name, and the advertised claims made regarding its vertical steaming capability and "Shot of Steam" feature. I didn't really associate the Sunbeam name with quality, but if the suggestions held up regarding the steam, it looked to be a good buy compared with the other junky irons available in this price range.
To test the iron's capabilities, I first used it on a pair of khaki pants that were worn once and had a moderate level of wrinkles. With a Black & Decker iron I used to use, the steam action made fairly simple work of it and the pants could be made to look unworn with relatively little effort. That was not the case using this Sunbeam model. The steam action is poor, and the "Shot of Steam" is just a small wisp or puff. Bottom line, the steam and "shot of steam" didn't do much to penetrate the fabric. On top of poor steam level, the iron does not really get very hot - I hadn't paid attention to the Wattage when I purchased it, but it turns out that it is only 1200 watts (the low end of iron wattages), so the modest temperature is not surprising. But this means you need to go over the same area many times to press out the wrinkles. Heavier wrinkles were not eliminated with this iron. Overall, I was dissatisfied and returned the iron for a Rowenta Power Duo (which I also returned), and then, finally, for a Rowenta Focus (which I kept).
I was willing to pay more money for an iron that would do a better, faster job. However, for those on a tighter budget, or who don't mind having to make lots of passes when ironing, this is probably an OK iron to have. The settings dial seems fairly sturdy, so the iron might be expected to last. I'd bet that you won't find anything much better if you choose to stay in this price range.

In over 50 years this is without a doubt the very best iron that I have found. For the $$ you can't beat it.....I bought one for $60.00 and it leaks and I do not like it at all.
 Leaks All Over July 2, 2006

As with the other reviewer, this iron leaked uncontrollably. It leaked whether horizontal or vertical. It leaks from the bottom and even where you retract the cord. This is the worse iron we have ever bought. We are trying to return ours.
A $27 lesson May 27, 2006

This worked great for the first three months I had it. I loved that I could actually see the water level in the chamber (my previous iron didn't have this feature), I loved the burst of steam feature, which was especially handy for my kids' corduroy pants. In fact, I was just happy to have a steam feature that worked at all. I was almost enjoying ironing for a while there.
Skip to three months and two weeks. The iron now leaks more than it steams, my ironing board is soaking wet by the time I've done one shirt and the reservoir needs to be refilled after I've ironed two. It's not leaking from the visible reservoir areas or soleplate, either -- it's pouring out of the housing whenever the iron is horizontal. I've contacted Amazon who refuses to deal with it since it's been longer than 30 days, and I can't get a single person at Sunbeam to return my calls or my emails. Thankfully it "only" took $27 to realize I'll be steering clear of Sunbeam products in the future.
