SINGER Perfect Finish 1700 Watt Anti-Drip Steam Iron with Brushed Stainless Steel Soleplate and LED Electronic Settings

No more water splashes!
THE OLD
I was never entirely happy with my German- made Rowenta which had a water retention problem. It was so bad that on the higher steam settings my clothes would get soaked on a regular basis, and when it started to stain my white clothes I just looked for an upgrade.

THE NEW
Two new Singer models advertised an anti- drip mechanism; this one and the Expert Finish. According to Singer's website, the models are similar except for the LCD and more temperature levels on the Expert Finish. I'm from the "keep it simple" school of thought, so I forewent the wizardry and picked this version.

THE GOOD
As expected, the iron is easy to use. Pressing the power button cycles through the four temperature levels, lighting up the appropriate label on the handle. I really like that the temperature label blinks while the iron is not yet at the correct temperature, a useful gimmick which even...

This is the BEST iron I've ever used, and I've gone through lots of irons - at least 2 per year. I iron every day everything I own.

It kept beeping and shutting off and then it starting dripping water from the holes and at the bottom. When I set the temperature to the max setting, it would flash for awhile and then go back down to the first setting. Then it would leave the first setting and then go to the second setting and up to the third setting and then it would shut itself off. After awhile, it would not come on at all. So now I am stuck with an iron that will not work.

So buyer beware of this iron. I have read all of the reviews in regards to this iron and everyone has given it 5 stars. Well, unfortunately, I have to give it a 1 star because it has not been a full year and the iron...
