The pointy end of this iron does not get hot, hence it bunches up clothing, and only the middle of the plate heats and it does not get hot enough to iron anything properly. Very disappointing. Purchased in 2025. I will have to buy another iron as this one is useless. Show details

Don't bother with brands anymore. They are all made in China, and made to last one year. My iron stop heating suddenly, and was only over year old. Same happened to the previous one. I understand that if they make durable products, might go out of business, but common, one year? Where is the sustainability, when piling the global rubbish with their products? Show details

Unhappy ironer – I have had this Sunbeam Pro Steam Iron (SR4400) for less than a year and it spits out rust and stains the fabric with brown dots from rusted water when I use the Steam function. I have phoned the Sunbeam company and am providing the receipt for when I bought it so hopefully something good will come of it? From now on I will keep the receipts when buying Irons as this has happened to me before. Show details

Love this travel iron! Powerful shot of steam, light, heats quickly – This is just a great little iron. Handy to take if you're travelling, but great to use at home as well. Small, light, heats very quickly. Only draws 750W so you don't have to worry about what else is plugged in. Surprisingly powerful shot of steam. Fits into small corners when you iron, and your hand never gets tired because it weighs so little. Only downside is that you need to keep refilling with water if you use for an extended time. Show reply

What a great little iron – Bought this iron because we were travelling to China and knew the hotels wouldn’t provide irons. What a little beauty........ a really good buy @ $29.00. Very small and light weight, has shot of steam, non stick sole plate and dual voltage selector. Easy to pack and has all the features a large expensive iron would have. So happy to have discovered it. Ironing in China was a breeze.  Show reply

Worst Iron Ever – I have always used Sunbeam irons (for 50 years) but my latest purchase is a let down. It is very heavy, the cord projects in the wrong spot and rubs on hand, the grip is of rough rubber and irritates skin. The casing is so dark you cannot see the water level. My arm aches after pushing and pulling this heavy machine.

Worst iron I have ever used – This iron is brand new and I am very disappointed … The indent in the point of the plate grabs corners and wrinkles them. The steam either doesn’t work at all or is very weak and spits… the iron isn’t hot enough.. the plate doesn’t glide smoothly (cleaned it as instructed) I have had great sunbeam iron over the years but I will never buy sunbeam again…. This iron should be removed form the market. Show details

Not a functional design – 1/ The indentation on the base plate at the point drags corner of garment back and creases it 2/ doesn’t get hot enough 3/ temperature dial is difficult to read 4/ water level hard to read. I am very disappointed with this iron and won’t be buying another sunbeam iron again Show details

Zero stars – A terrible product. It doesn’t work properly, it is all rusty and stained on the baseplate, I have proof of purchase and delivery and Sunbeam still won’t replace it even within a year. I am extremely disappointed with the customer service. This product has also ruined my Sunbeam large ironing board cover.I’m appalled. Show details

Don’t waste your money – This is the worst iron I have ever owned and I will be returning. The sole plate catches on all fabrics causing wrinkles. The user then has to dampen the fabric to try and get some sort of smooth finish and just press the iron but not move it to avoid catching. It is incredibly frustrating to use. Show details

The worst Iron I had – Don't buy this product, instead ironing clothing flat, it actually scrunch your clothing up if you ironing. What a stupid design. First sunbeam iron I owned, the last iron I have. Show details

Do not buy, leaks water everywhere, noisy, simply nasty to use, very disappointing – I just purchased this Sunbeam as I dropped my last iron which was sunbeam and it was marvellous and went for years. This one is horrible to try and regulate the temperature, pulls at all the clothes, spit and leaks water everywhere..........It is simply horrible and headed for the garbage bin. If I could give zero stars I would as it does not even deserve one. Show details

Do not purchase – Totally useless. Catches on the edge of things and pulls the clothing up so it creases. Does not get hot enough and does not iron well- some times you can not tell you have ironed- just makes the clothing warm. - do not purchase. Show details

Life span only 12 months of use! – Purchased this product given the brand "Sunbeam" was allegedly a good brand??? Iron was great at the start and I did follow all the recommendations in the user manual provided by the manufacturer. However.........the iron just stopped working for no apparent reason? I purchased the iron on sale and proceeded to use my old work horse up… Read more

until it died back in January 2020.

Disappointed the product didn't even last the two year warranty period? Now I have to deal with going through the process to either have repaired or replaced. Meanwhile I do not have a back up iron.

My back up will NOT be a Sunbeam that's is one thing I know I will never purchase again!

It doesnt glide it grabs the fabric and creates more creases. Very frustrated.!!!

Problem with water level – Generally pleased with the iron so far except for the fact that you cannot see how much water is in the tank due to tge dark colour. Constructive criticism only hopefully can be rectified for future models. Show details

Don’t buy dark purple – Iron works fine but you can’t see the water level AT ALL you have to jiggle it and hold it up to bright light to see the water level which makes it annoying... and bad design so I would give it 1 star but it does work. The dark purple plastic is too hard to see through. They should have put a bright bobble in the tank to fix the problem then it would be 5 stars.  Show details

Disappointed – As per previous reviewer, other functions work well but the hollow on the sole plate catches on all edges so that I had to use the bottom part of the iron in reverse fashion. Ironing became very frustrating. Made a hasty purchase as it was half price on sale. I would not recommend this iron and unfortunately am going to buy a replacement. Show details

it is okay – I do not usually use this iron so I really got not much comment to it, the weight of it is okay, even my 12 years old daughter can be able to handle this, all of my shirt after ironing has become very straight and it lasts for a long time as well. However, the cord is a bit short and it's not long enough when I am using it.  Show details

Thanks for the review Jess. As you move up the Sunbeam range, the cords get longer, depending on the price point.

Not as good as previous Sunbeam irons – The iron does a great job of the ironing, is quick to heat up and I like the shut off function. I don’t even fill the iron to the level marked and water still runs from the tank along the handle and makes my hand wet. Water also comes out of the sole plate and marks the clothes. Coloured irons look nice but makes it hard to see the water level. The bad points outweigh the good.  Show details

Catches on corners – Ironing functions and steam functions are fine and I like that it turns itself off, but... The hollow on the sole plate for ironing over buttons is terrible. Catches on corners of collars and irons in crumples which are very difficult to iron out again. I wouldn't buy one again.  Show details

Trouble after 12 months – Gave problems with electrics in two different houses, would trip out the leakage detector trip switch every now and then. It started to leak after about 18 months, and finally refused to work at all. Took it apart, the water had completely corroded a connector. Sunbeam used to be a reputable brand.  Show details

Sunbeam Pro Steam A good iron – I purchased this iron from KMART the other day and it runs really well. Great amount of steam, heats up well, and does a good job. I would recommend it, but it is a little on the expensive side compared to other irons on the market. The iron has a teflon coating so it doesn't stick to delicate clothes.  Show details ·  1

Great time saver – This iron generates a lot of steam and is a great time waver, I can go through my clothes in half the time using this powerful stem generator. The wrinkles glide away and my clothes look wrinkle free and are gentle on the texture. The power cord is long enough and is not in the way when ironing.  Show details ·  1

Years of good service – This has put in years of service at out place. never had the slightest issue. It warms up and keeps a nice stable temperature. Works just as well for cotton as it does for poly. Steam is nice too. No worries at all. The bottom plate hasn't accumulated too much discoloration - still works perfectly  Show details ·  1

A pleasure to use – The iron is lightweight and glides through my clothes with ease, nothing sticks to the sole plate and it is as new as the first day I use it. The cord is long enough not to be a nuisance when using it. I would recommend this iron, it is a pleasure to use.  Show details ·  1

It’s great – Iron is not a daily use machine so I bought a relative cheap one, it works well as the heat up time is fast, it’s not that heavy which is easy to handle, it glinds smoothly with a great temperature, also the cord is quite long which is much more convenient but it’s a little bit difficult to iron denim  Show details ·  1
