Nightmare – Bought today when in town, living miles from a store to return it to and it’s faulty. Indicator light does not come on when it’s plugged in then the light is on only intermittently. For the cost of travelling to return it I could have bought a Sunbeam. Not happy at all with this product. Show details
Budget price steam iron for everyday use – For $29 this cheaper but fairly chunky steam iron (made in China - like everything these days) for Kmart's budget Anko brand - seems like a reasonable quality steam iron and it's a pretty blue colour. Which is nice. The 2400 watt power of this iron means it heats up fast. The steam function works reasonably well, producing a powerful steam burst… Read more · 1
that promises to remove stubborn wrinkles from clothes. Additionally, the vertical steam feature can be used for refreshing curtains and hanging garments - however how this works in practice remains to be seen.
The temperature dial is nice and clear and this product delivers a pretty good user experience.
The iron also has an Eco Steam function and three different levels for ironing and steam delivery. I would honestly only use the normal steam setting and maybe the higher power steam setting for linens. It also works as a dry iron (like most irons).
The Anko iron also has a anti-drip system - I'm not convinced about this and the first time I used it - there was some tiny drips. My last iron was spitting black muck all over my clothes. Whether this iron functions for longer than six months without spitting dirty water over my clothes - will demonstrate its ultimate usefulness.
This model also has an anti-scale system - however for this iron I am only using distilled water rather than tap water - which is what I did with the last (super cheap $7.50 Big W iron) - which ended up spitting brown globs on my clothes.
I like the ergonomic design of this iron, which makes it comfortable to hold and maneuver and the shot of steam function is delivered by your trigger finger with the button neatly tucked under the handle. The large water tank capacity means you can iron for longer periods without needing to refill. The cord is a bit clunky and not very manageable and gets in the way - which is why I give this a 4 star review.
The ceramic soleplate glides smoothly over fabrics, and the precision tip makes it easy to iron around buttons and collars. The auto shut off feature kicks in after a very brief period of inactivity - the iron standing idle - not sure how long - the brochure doesn't say. This auto shut-off feature is a good safety feature if you have pets or kids or just want to avoid setting fire to your house.
It’s an Iron – It makes my clothes flat so I can fit more in my drawers. It steams like a dragon which is really cool. Even our neighbour thinks it’s pretty neat. Show details
Not recommended – I should read the reviews before purchase it.continues beeping after a few weeks of using. To much hassle to return, so get rid of it and get a Phillip one.
Stopped working after 1 use. Continuous flashing – Brand new, does not work. Light keeps flashing and won't go hot at all. Possible faulty model. It works for 15 seconds. So I turn to iron off, and back on for 15 seconds to iron. Show details

High Pitched whine – I have a high pitched whine coming from my KB-602E2 iron. How can I stop it? I have only had the iron for 2 months. Can I return it? I mam not happy Show details

Good value for money – This iron is better then expensive one that I had before. Much easier to reach to all places. And very good value for money. I like the colour too. I bought it to try how it will work and now I recommend it to my friends. Show details
It is ok – The iron it is okay, the price are good and it do it job, it is easily to use, this product is gentle with my clothes so I am happy with the iron Show details
Good for price – This iron is a cheap option to own a non stick iron with self clean. The iron doesn’t glide as well as more expensive reputable brands however the steam capability does the job. Great least cost option for furnished apartments. Show details
Great cheap iron – Used the iron over many different types of clothes and it worked perfectly. It heats up quickly and when steam is turned on, it produces a lot of steam. It is light weight and the temperature control knob is easy to use. It is good value for money for a full size steam iron. Show details
Overall, a good iron that is cheap – The iron seems to heat up fine and doesn't stick to fabrics. The iron works well and is gentle enough on fabrics. It hasn't burnt any clothes yet. The steam functions work well, but the extra water spray goes everywhere. I would recommend this item for a family on a budget Show details
