 Good While It Lasted September 5, 2010
Secret Shopper (Mid-Atlantic, USA)
I owned this iron for about 6 months before I had to replace it. It worked great while it lasted. However, I expected it to last longer. I particularly liked how well it steamed without dripping. Also, the steam burst and water jet functions worked VERY well. I liked the flashing lights which told me when it was up to heat or if it had stopped heating (auto shut off) while I was using it. I have pain in my hands, but found the iron easy to manuver. I did not like how the rubberized portion of the handle was on top rather than on the side your fingers grip. The chrome coating on that side wore off quickly. I also wished the iron had a retractable cord. I was very disappointed when suddenly the thing wouldn't heat unless I held it at a very odd angle. Needless to say, I couldn't iron with it at that angle. It's a shame because until then, it had been the best iron I'd owned in the last 15 years.
 Do NOT buy! August 9, 2010

This iron only lasted about seven months before it broke down. Like someone else wrote, the steam button got stuck in the down position. Piece of junk. Don't waste your money! I gave this NO stars.
Wasted money July 31, 2010

I should have read the reviews but didn't. Saw this iron at Costco at a great price (now I know why) and brought it. Used it one day and it doesn't work. I also threw the directions away because I usually have no problems with irons that I buy. Well for this one, I should have kept the instructions because I don't even know where to start to see if I can get it to work. Don't waste your money on this iron and yes I can say that I should have read instructions but it's just an iron who needs instructions to plug an iron into the socket. No such thing with this lousy iron. I'm going to see if I can take it back. Now I know, don't buy cheap irons they're exactly that. CHEAP!!!!

I bought this product about 10 months back. I iron my clothes before I leave for work and that is about 20 minutes, 5 days a week. The past few days I have been noticing that the iron shuts down automatically while I am still using it. If I tilt it or lay it flat it starts working again. After a few minutes it starts shutting down again.
Again, when it was working, it was the best iron I had. But it isn't now and is close to junk.
Overall, it is not a reliable product.
I also called Shark support who are just clueless as to why that could be happening.
 Barely worth the money July 17, 2010

I read a lot of reviews before buying this iron and really thought I would have a winner this time. The first and major problem I have had with it is leaky water during steaming - when the iron had fully heated. The second thing that I don't like about this iron is that it shuts off quickly - in about 3 minutes when not being used - and to reheat the iron, you have to push the control button repeatedly to get it to the hottest setting - it takes 10 pushes to get it to the "max" setting on my iron as some of the pushes don't seem to register on the electronic control.
The only "saving grace" of this iron is that it puts out a lot of steam (and water).
