Sunbeam Verve CeraFlow

Worst iron I have ever used – I bought this iron in a hurry one Saturday afternoon as I needed to iron a heap of shirts for a business trip. My previous iron (a different brand) had died earlier that day to the point where it was tripping the safety switch on our home meter board. I've used Sunbeam before and like some of their features, especially the separate power and… Read more

element lights, and the audible alarm. This one is a piece of rubbish and absolutely the worst iron I have ever bought. It worked perfectly for the first couple of months, and even on the lowest steam setting I was having to refill it after a single t-shirt. Now it refuses to produce any steam at all unless I use the boost button, which takes half an hour to iron one shirt. I've tried several different water sources from unfiltered tap water to laboratory-grade distilled water, and every steam setting from minimum to maximum. Nothing. Trying to iron my husband's good work clothes without steam is impossible. It also seems to stick to everything that isn't 100% natural fabric. I don't care about scratch-resistant soleplates when I can't iron anything other than cotton or wool, and even then it doesn't get the creases out because there's no steam. Avoid at all cost!!!

It's a Sunbeam with no safety switch, why not? – Hi Sunbeam, I disagree with your reply to Neat in this product review. I read that post and bought this iron on the basis of the Sunbeam answer, which says this iron has a cut off switch. I believe this answer is incorrect and arguably misleading under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010. The Verve 600 Ceraflow SRC6000 does not have a 'safety… Read more

off switch', it does not switch off after 30 seconds horizontally or 15 minutes vertically. I have tested it myself. I am very disappointed in sunbeam for not including this safety feature on this iron. My old cheaper Sunbeam iron had it. Now I'm too scared to let my sons use it when I'm not home, in case they leave it on and burn the house down. I'm also annoyed that I relied on the post by Sunbeam answering that it has a safety switch, which makes it an answer that is unreliable and can't be trusted.
