The Pursteam World’s Best Steamers SteamBurst+ Iron has completely exceeded my expectations! The 1750W power heats up quickly, and the ceramic soleplate glides smoothly over all types of fabrics. The adjustable steam settings allow me to tackle everything from delicate clothes to tough wrinkles, while the Burst of Steam feature is a game-changer for stubborn creases. I love that it has self-cleaning, anti-calc, and anti-drip features, which make it very low maintenance. This iron is powerful, long-lasting, and makes ironing much quicker and easier. Highly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable, efficient steam iron!

I’m writing this detailed review because I found the subject of researching, purchasing, and using under-performing irons so annoying and hoping this will help you avoid the same. This review applies to my personal application and experience. Both of those may differ for you.First some context for this review. I pretty much exclusively use the iron to iron my long sleeve dress shirts for work. I work fast and need an iron that can keep up with me (producing steam) as I iron, set the iron down, move the shirt to the next position, iron set the iron down etc. about 10 times per shirt. I set the iron to ‘Cotton” and get busy. I just need an iron that constantly produces plenty of steam. I don’t use the spray or vertical steam features. It takes me about 3 minutes per shirt – which is faster and cheaper than making trips to the cleaners. I have not had any of the irons long enough to provide a long-term or reliability review. If anything annoying occurs I will come back and edit this review if I am able.I purchased and tested each of these irons on the same shirts (pic)1) First purchase: Rowenta Focus $87Summary: this iron could not keep up with me. Seemed to produce steam randomly in short bursts when it felt like it. I often found myself ironing soleplate down without any steam at all. I thought the unit must be defective. I returned in exchange for another one. Same issue with the second one.I would return it if I could, but am outside the return window. I would not recommend this iron. Will be donating this to charity. Maybe it will suit someone else better.Will not bother with Pros & Cons here.2) Second purchase: Rowenta Steamforce $152Summary: upon opening, it was clear that this was a unit had already been ordered and returned by another customer. Based on past experience accepting somebody else’s return is a nonstarter – especially at this price point. This is not the first time Amazon has sent someone else’s reject as new. Very disappointing. I returned in exchange for another one. The second one arrived in new and unused condition – although I wish the manufacturer would seal the box at the factory so it is clear if the box has been previously opened.Pros:- Slick easy gliding soleplate- Plenty of steam- Simple light indicating fabric setting (pic)- Narrow nose for tight spaces- Simple on/off steam setting (I don’t need anything in between)Cons:- Price – yikes!- Easy to accidentally hit fabric selection dial and change setting. Frustrating.- A little bit of non-consequential spittingThis was the best of the three irons for my needs. Would recommend.3) Third purchase: PurSteam Professional Grade 1800-Watt Iron with Digital LCD Screen $42Summary: this one arrived in a box properly sealed by the manufacturer – easy to tell that I was the first person opening the box. Thank you!Pros:- Great price- Sufficient steam- LED fabric selector - No manual dial to knock out of position. Yay! Thank you! (pic)- Easy to fill water tankCons:- Literally ran out of steam when tank reached 25% full (pic)I would recommend this iron. Instead of returning, I will keep as a very capable backup.Hope this review saves you some of the time and grief I experienced. If anyone has recommendation for a top-notch ironing board cover, I’d be happy to hear about it.

The iron irons my clothes just fine, temperature is good, soleplate is smooth. Good price.Hand ergonomics: a little interesting; first of all, it's quite large and heavy. I think I prefer a smaller iron for nooks and crannies as I'm usually ironing around a collar, around buttons, around pockets, and hardly ever large areas like a bedsheet or pillowcase. I also think the area where you press your hand down on the handle is too far back. I usually want to press down on the tip around buttons (precision!), but the steam burst/water spray buttons are right there. The handle is positioned in a way that if you were to press down, you press on the heel of the iron. I would prefer they move all the controls and handle further forward relative to the soleplate.Steam function: Probably the worst feature on this iron. Works fine, but the anti-drip feature is a bimetallic 'popper' that will turn off the water flow from the tank onto the soleplate (creating steam) if the temperature is too low. You will hear this thing click on and off. It will not create steam (at all!) if it is popped into the closed mode. The manual claims that this is how they prevent drips when used on a lower heat. However, I think it's a little overzealous as you need it on nearly maximum temperature mode to generate any steam at all, otherwise the temp is too low for the popper to open. I think I would prefer the iron without this popper, risking drips instead.Worst case, I can still spritz the clothing with a spray bottle and iron it the old fashioned way, and it still generates "steam" by ironing damp clothing on a lower temp setting. 1700 watts is good enough to stay hot even ironing over cold, wet clothing. I'm sad that steam iron technology has not come further in the last 15 years (I had an old iron that similarly dripped and whatnot and I reverted to using a spray bottle... and that was 15 years ago).Self clean feature is a little weird, water doesn't flow out as fast as they seem to advertise. It just dumps water onto the hot soleplate and generates a lot of steam, which I believe could be effective at cleaning? But not fully convinced.Lastly, they claim you can use tap water in it and not to use distilled water, but I am calling their bluff as an "amateur" chemist (took several chemistry courses throughout college... I know) - there is no way distilled water is more corrosive than tap water. If it ends up leaking/failing due to my usage of distilled water, I will update this review; in the meantime I will enjoy zero calcification.

I really like this Pur steam 1750 iron which puts out a lot of steam. I had to replace the first iron since the silicon on the plate was coming off, and this was done ASAP with no complaints. When I received the second iron, it was packed in a secure box and works like a charm. It does though recommend to use distilled water which helps if you live in a place with hard water like Houston. Even w/o pressing the steam button, you get a great amount of steam, but if need extra for ironing it puts out. I am very pleased with the iron and how it performs and would recommend if looking for a great iron with a lot of steam.

After a week with the Station Max, I’m seriously impressed. The continuous steam is a total game changer—no more button mashing. It has a solid, satisfying weight and glides effortlessly.I’ve tried several irons, and this one finally feels right. Some reviews made me nervous about longevity, but so far, so good. Hope it holds up.
