Purchased this iron to replace older Sunbeam one. It is really great. It is light weight but does a good job both as a steam iron and dry iron. The coating makes it glide smoothly on all fabrics I've ironed so far. I hate ironing, so if I like this iron, it is truely amazing! And I got it for a great price too. Cheaper than the Big Box Store!
This is the best iron I have ever owned. I was worried about buying it because of a review that said it leaking from the start. There had to have been something wrong with that iron or the person that wrote the review. I do a lot of ironing and I have enjoyed this iron from the get-go. It doesn't drip. It has the perfect sole plate. It is a great weight - too many irons aren't heavy enough - this is just right. Just like everything else that says Kenmore on it - it's great and it works!!!
I like the Kenmore Iron because it's strong. When having to iron jeans and shirts this iron can be adjusted to the right temperature that's needed to get the job. It's strong enough but light in weight so that anyone even a person with a slight stiffness (like myself) in the hand can handle it. The color is bright and cheerful. It's easy to clean. It's just a wonderful iron
This quality iron does a great job! The steam is extremely powerful. I have used it often to steam garments that cannot be ironed. I have also used it for iron-on transfers that needed high heat, and it did them in a snap. I love the fact that it heats up quickly, making my routine faster. I also like how it doesn't drip.
After extensive research on irons I decided the 2 year warranty on the Kenmore brand made it a no brainer. It's the only two year warranty in the industry that I could find. I had read all previous reviews and noted that one person commented that the buttons to change the temperature were situated in a place where you could easily change the temp without noticing but it wasn't a universal complaint.
This iron appears to have many good features. It heated up quickly, is easy to fill the water tank and the digital readout was clear. I'll agree with other reviewers that the steam dial on the front...

This iron falls in the middle, price-wise, but comparing its performance, it's by-far the best out there. I've never really been able to make good creases in my dress pants, but with this, I get crisp creases every time with little effort. I can iron my boyfriend's work shirts in half the time it took me with my last, fancier iron as well. There are a few things that would make it perfect though: 1) an easier way to fill the reservoir, as it's hard to tilt and see the water...

The Good: Heats quickly, doesn't leak, easy to set and read the temperature, soleplate is very smooth making iron easy to maneuver.
The Not-So-Good:
- Weak steam output: at the highest temp (linen) and steam setting (max), didn't seem to produce any more steam than the old iron I'm attempting to replace.
- Lacks steam vents at the tip of the iron: my old B&D didn't have any at...

This is the best iron I have ever owned. The steam action is amazing, the weight is just enough so you dont have to work so hard. The only draw back is it is hard to see the water level. With that being said, it is well worth the money. My daughter bought one after she used mine.
After reading reviews, I purchased this iron. It is wonderful.
This iron is amazing. I have had it for over 6 months and it hasn't started leaking like every other iron I've had. I love the design and its the perfect weight.
