Sunbeam Mode Questions

Pravin Chawda1y · Mode

I just purchased a Sunbeam SB4400 ironing board. I don't know how to place the iron on the iron rest, and I am scared it may burn the nonmetallic part. There is no photo etc. showing this. Please help.

I posted a question about 2 months ago re the iron rest of my sunbeam ironing board. Plastic iron rest was burnt by accidentally placing the iron over a period. My ironing board is in good condition apart from the iron rest. I could remove that part but I need a replacement. I would appreciate if sunbeam could solve my problem. Mallika Preena

I have a sunbeam ironing board which I love. it is a very study good quality morning board. My problem is the plastic iron rest has burnt over the years by accidentally placing the iron flat out side metal area. the metal part of the iron rest only holds the iron at an angle, not down flat – I place my iron on its heel in the upright position most of the time. I would like to replace the the iron holder. ironing board is in very good condition. Could someone please tell me how to get a replacement. Thank you

Re a question above, I also had misgivings about placing a hot iron on the rubber resting pads. But I gather from the reply that this is intended and acceptable. Would be a good idea to cover this in your promotional material.

How do you position the iron in the iron rest. It is made of plastic won't it melt.

The older model of this type of ironing board that I used to have had a plastic iron rest that did melt a bit, but the most recent model does not have this problem. Obviously Sunbeam must have listened to, and reacted to customer criticism regarding this problem.

We have a Sunbeam Ironing board that has broken at the welded lugs on one of the legs - at the board end. I think its about 2-3years old, maybe 4. It has wheels at one end, the rubberised pull out rack for the iron to sit, and clothes hangers to be placed. Is this a warranty issue? Can a new set of legs be replaced without replacing the whole unit? Thanks, Peter.

I took it back to the Good Guys even though it was out of warranty. The ACCC specifically states with regard to warranties that products should be fit for purpose and that it would be expected that, as in this case, an ironing board would not fail in the manner yours and mine has,

I refer you to the following link, which is teh ACCC document I relied on to get a replacement ironing board:

Essentially, it says that a consumer should reasonably expect an item to perform for its intended purpose and should, as in the case of an orning board, not have welds fail for explicable reasons. Clearly, they failed because of faulty manufacturing processes.

Thank you EssDee54. Much appreciated. ;-)

I would like to buy a new Sunbeam ironing board but I have two requirements - I would like wheels, and the over length of the board & legs, must fit into a 150cm cupboard. What do you recommend please?

Sunbeam DM 7y

Hi Sandi. Unfortunately none of our ironing boards would fit in a 150cm cupboard. Our smallest ironing board is 152cm in height when folded. The only option would be the SB1300 but this is a table top ironing board.

Have just purchased this board.I noticed there is rubber on the section where the iron stands. Wouldn't it burn and stick to the hot iron, or am I supposed to remove the rubber pieces?

Sunbeam DM 8y

Hi Noel, you will find this totally fine, the pieces are meant to be there and you won't have any trouble using the board...

Hi,

I have a steam station and would like to know if the slide out ironing rest can take the weight and size of steam stations?

Sunbeam DM 8y

Hi Dimitra and thanks for your question. We wouldn't recommend that you use your steam station on the ironing rest of this model as it is quite heavy. If you look at the SB8400 instead, this has a metal rack attached to the legs underneath the board. This would be sufficient to hold the steam station.
