Braun Texstyle 7 Series

Leaks and trips the power – This has been a terrible iron. I've tried it on lots of different settings. It leaks water everywhere and is constantly tripping the power. Show details

Worked great for a week – For the first week this iron was working great. Previous iron was a philips azure and the steam was never good. This Braun was ticking all the boxes with quick reheat, large water jacket and especially steam was plentiful and strong even on the level it was set at out of the box at level 3. Only issue i had was the handle was a little… Read more

loose and it was a bit hard to see the thermostat adjustment as its obscured by the handle and setting it was guess work.

So after a week the steam pretty much gave up. It would work ok straigt after the water tank was filled but within a few shots of steam it just wouldnt work as if the button was disconnected or something. Obviously the button was fine because once the water tank was refilled from say 3/4 tank to full the steam would be ok for a couple of shots again.

I was set to return the Braun iron to the good guys when the iron was accidently knocked over and the handle broke completely off rendering it useless.

Sorry i cant reccomend the Braun on my usage. Maybe i got a faulty one. Now to try find a new iron again.

Serviceable, but not much more – The Braun steam iron is adequate but not much more. It is well made and feels comfortable when in use with enough weight to it but is not overly heavy that it becomes tiring. Taking note of the advised heat settings it delivers a good flow of steam without drips. The steam flow gradations are a bit optimistic though with no steam evident from 1 to… Read more

2 but seems to come on vigorously from 3 onwards. It was not obvious if the flow of steam was greater at max (6) compared to 3. Similarly, it was hard to tell if the steam burst (Vario plus steam) delivers extra steam when using a steam setting, though if used with no steam and the burst was used, steam is produced but not much. A feature of the iron is Precision Shot which is meant to generate a strong burst of steam in the horizontal and vertical positions. It sort of works but is mostly rather feeble even at the max heat setting and priming it first. The manual shows steam being shot out of two nozzles at the front but this does not happen. In the vertical position it is useless and is unable to steam clothes hanging up, despite the claims made in the manual. Overall, it irons well enough but the extra steam settings are not particularly good.

brilliant – the ONLY reason I bought this Braun, is that my 20yo Braun iron, which was working perfectly & never had any problems fell off my washing machine onto tiled floor, through vibration, & I think cracked the tank started to spit a little but hey, after 20 years and still going strong. As Molly might say, " do yourself a favour & get a Braun" don't waste your money on el cheepos Show details

Ironing is a breeze ! – FANTASTIC iron - about 18 months old now. Paid (approx.) $100 for it. I had one of those incredibly expensive $2,500 Ironing Systems, it broke down. Went to get a quote on fixing it, they said it was just the switch - quoted me $380 to fix it, with no warranty. I figured if I paid $100 for a completely new iron, and with a 1-year (or… Read more ·  1

2-year) Warranty, I'd be well ahead. Bought a BRAUN TEXSTYLE 7 PRO Series Steam Iron and it's FANTASTIC ! Much lighter and easier to manage than the large, very heavy 'other one' which I had. Plus the base it totally non-stick (not like the 'other one', which would have to be cleaned off on a regular basis). The steaming is wonderful and makes ironing really easy - even on creased cottons and linens. Sheets come up beautifully, as do denims ! I'm extremely happy with my iron, and would highly recommend it. Thanks, Braun !

Great Iron – Great iron which can be used to quickly iron shirts. The iron feels heavy at first, but the glide which is provided by the high quality sole plate makes the ironing quick and easy. Very happy with this product. Show details

Lasted 15 months – The iron functioned well for 16 months, and then would not heat properly and tripped our RCD circuit protection. Very disappointed as I considered Braun to be a reliable brand. Show details

Too heavy. Piece of Junk. Burns clothing – I’ve hated this iron from the moment my husband bought it for me. Too heavy. Inconsistent temperature. Has melted numerous items of clothing as it’s temperature fluctuates. Total piece of junk - I’ve struggled with it for years. Throwing it in the bin and going back to a Philips!!! Don’t waste your money Show details

Good steam iron – I am satisfied with the amount of steam expelled. It is a bit bulky but it's heaps better than the Kambrook one I was using earlier. It is made in Europe so it's better quality build. Show details

Braun SI7046VI TexStyle 7 Pro Iron Great Iron that does the job – Was tossing up between two irons and glad I went with this one as it handles all types of fabrics well. The other one did not handle delicate fabrics - but this one did! Great amount of steam, very good. Show details

2yrs of everyday ironing and still working as new – This iron puts all previous irons including the last 4 top of the range Tefal irons to absolute shame. The sapphire sole plate still looks brand new and glides exactly the same. The iron doesn't leak while ironing at all, although patience is needed till iron has fully heated otherwise it will leak. Show details

Does the job without any issues – It's lightweight and gets the job done. Myself and my housemates all use it with no issues and no complaints. No reported leakages, heats up quickly, and goes into "sleep mode" automatically when left on, which is a helpful safety feature. No amazing whiz bang features, but meets expectations for a base model. Would buy again. Show details

Perfect Everyday Iron – Great little Iron. Heats up within 30 seconds and does a sufficient job on all my business clothing (Pants and Shirts). Has not damaged any non-iron properties on t-shirts or cause any issues with delicates. Show details

Works as expected – This iron is decent, can't say its the best iron but it does its job. From time to time, the iron does leak. It does work well on all different types of fabric and I would say its quiet reliable as I have had other irons and they have no lasted that long. Overall, performs well enough for what its meant to do. Show details

I'm Happy With It – Works pretty good so far. Not too heavy and the amount of steam required can be adjusted. It hasn't stuck to anything yet, unlike my last one, so I am very happy. Show details

Linen Perfect – At last an iron that really does get hot enough to iron pure linen and pure cotton. Since purchasing this iron my steam generator iron has been left untouched and all my ironing has been done with the Braun. It is heavier than most similar irons making it ideal for those fabrics which require pressing as well as heat. The soleplate has a good… Read more

pattern of steam holes and lots of them. There is a sliding scale control for the amount of steam produced. The instructions say that the soleplate should be cleaned with steel wool which I haven't had to put to the test yet as it is still clean and smooth. Nor have I had to use the anticalc system as yet. It has an open ended handle which is a prop for the iron when on its heel rest. I was unsure about this when I first saw pictures of the product but it has not been a problem. The water cup is larger than usual and its triangular shape makes it very easy to grip and pour for my somewhat arthritic hands. The cord is about 2.5 metres in length. An excellent purchase for me!

Anti-dripping however start dripping so much the first moment when I used it – As per my title, I bought the iron "TexStyle 7 Steam Iron with Eloxal Solepl" from goodguy few days ago and pickup yesterday. As I was using it, the water start dripping from the holes. Really bad. Now, I have to travel back again to the shop for refund and at the moment I do not have the times. So felt really let down with the product. Show details

Best iron I've had - and I've been through a few! – Excellent steaming capability, especially good for items that crease easily Nice weight which contributes to its ability to remove creases, and nice to hold Excellent cord length - not too short Can't fault it:) Show details

Excellent performance – Purchase this product last year and very happy with it. I really like this iron and work perfectly with my need. I recommend this product to anyone interested in basic everyday iron Show details

Good reliable feel – Good hefty feel to it without actually being too heavy, and is comfortable to weild. Intuitive design, swift heating and has loads of bells and whistles. Several steaming options to choose from but also simple enough for the layman to pick up and use without the aforementioned abundance of added features. Adequate enough cable length and the… Read more

overall design looks and feels very sleek. Good on all my clothes of varying fabrics, impressed at how quick, easy and smooth gliding it feels.

Got a good Amazon Cashback deal on this and I couldn't be happier with the results.

Great and cheap quality iron – Purchased this during a cashback promotion from Braun and wife is very happy with the iron. A little heavy but glides well and doesn't leak (so far). Good steaming action as well. Show details

Perfect for the job – This is probably the best iron I have ever used, and I have been through quite a few. Heats up quickly, and the steam function is excellent. It sits very sturdily on the ironing board and I have never had an issue with leaking. Highly recommended. Show details

If you have to iron this is the one ! – Nobody likes ironing but if you need to this is the one to get. It is ergonomically design for ease of use and works equally well on a range of materials. I particularly like the generous steam that the iron produces and the great range of temperature settings. Show details

2 years old and went up in flames – Whilst ironing as I normally do, the iron started smoking then flames shot out of the iron near the top and the sides. The iron was a Braun TexStyle Type 4661E Show details

irons clothes quite well – Bought this iron reluctantly, to replace a Sunbeam Ultura that we had for around 15 years, so sad, as it was the best iron that we had ever owned. This new Braun iron was a Choice recommended one, about the 3rd one on the Choice list, and for the price, it does what it is supposed to do. Our budget was around $120, and after looking around, it was… Read more

the best that was on offer for what we wanted to pay. It was one of the lighter irons on the current market. The only negative is that your hand/fingers can sometimes knock the temp control that is under the handle, so not really the best design. Very efficient with water use, compared to our old Sunbeam. While it glides OK, it is not as good as our previous iron. The auto switch off is good for safety.

Best Iron Ever – This is the best iron I have ever owned. I mainly use the iron for business shirts. The reason this is the best iron is the steam function works the way it should. On other irons, when you lower the steam setting you get water dripping out the bottom because the heat in the iron can't turn it to steam. On the Braun it doesn't happen at any level. This alone can justify the price and my 5 star review. Show details
