#SHARK PROFESSIONAL STEAM IRON SERIES#

It all sounds so great BUT when I fill the iron with water and it gets hot, the water dribbles out in big droplets and splashes onto whatever I am ironing. It has a steam burst button that shoots steam out for a long time and I can (in theory) use the iron vertically to steam clothing or linens. Filling it to capacity with water is very simple and it heats up quickly. This iron has a long 12 foot pivoting cord so it never tangles and it is very lightweight. That part I do like and feel every iron should have an automatic shut off feature like that. It has a stainless steel soleplate and it turns itself off if it is tipped sideways or backwards. It is a steam iron and a steamer as well. It is all stainless steel and has electronic controls that display the temperature that I set it on as well as the actual temperature of the iron.

***My Take on the Shark Professional Series Intelligent Electronic Iron, GI490*** I got a much less complicated iron and that works just fine for my needs now. It has a super sleek design and looks like it would do a great job but it leaks water all over the place and isn't nearly as effective as it seems by looking at it and reading about it. ***Quick View: ***I have owned this iron for a while but no longer use it. Shark needs to rework their wiring and use some better parts I think.ДЇalse Really complicated and not reliable Iron. Good on the outside, crummy on the inside. The outside is durable enough, but the inside, the parts that do the work, do not hold up at all. I guess it would be about as good as any if it lasted long enough for me to need to clean it. I would not call that safe at all, it was actually kinda scary. I can't give this a good safety rating because even though it has auto off, the second one I had shorted out on me after only two days of a fair amount of ironing. The second one died before it even had a chance to do any of those other things. The first one I had did great for a while, then the steam flow petered out till I had to push the steam button constantly, then it started puking water on everything, then it died. Initially, this iron worked great, had wonderful steam flow and everything. It looks all shiny and cute when you get it and even seems to be a good iron, until it all goes wrong. I've had two and the second didn't last at all. I definitely wouldn't recommend the Euro-Pro Shark GI490 to anyone in the market for iron because it isn't durable and would be a waste of money even for short term use.ДЇalse Very short life span, not worth while This iron is very heavy and that is something I look for in a good iron, but for some reason it doesn't feel well-built when holding. Sometimes the iron would just turn off by itself without a reason. Eventually it stopped getting hot altogether and at best it would get lukewarm. Then it started to take longer and longer with each use. The first time I used the iron it took 5 minutes for it to get hot. Then it started to take forever for the iron to heat up. The iron started to leak water for no apparent reason. On average I use an iron maybe 3 times a month and on my second month of usage the iron started to fall apart. The iron worked well for me right out of the box, but sadly that moment of efficiency didn't last long. I purchased the Euro-Pro Shark GI490 Iron from Bed Bath and Beyond because I desperately needed to iron a shirt for a formal event.
