I have no problems with it and the steam function works well. I'm a bit confused about all the different knobs though. They're kind of hard to decipher (maybe because I'm kind of new to this ironing thing :D) but they haven't interfered with the function of this machine...which is to make me look presentable for interviews and special events. Woohoo! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Steam Iron *by J***O on September 14, 2011* Very nice iron. Light weight. Does its job. Got a pretty red color. Doesnt take up much space and irons my stuff pretty quickly. Steam works great. I can store it anywhere. Very happy!!! ### ⭐ It leaked, pieces popped off, and it stopped working completely after 6 months! *by B***M on February 12, 2012* I bought this iron based on the ranking as I was looking for an inexpensive iron that would do the job, and this seemed like the best reviewed cheap iron. I've had good luck over the years with cheap irons (i.e. about $15 or less), but as I moved cross country a few times I always left them behind as I tried to keep the cost of moving down and the people I was living with usually had an iron. So it was finally time for me to buy another iron, so I went with this one. Big mistake.* Within the first couple of days, the steam dial popped out from just a simple adjustment to it. While I could put it back in, it never really stayed in and I could never really adjust it after that.* Water constantly leaked out of both the bottom and top of the base plate while I was ironing from the first day I started using it till it eventually broke.* When the iron was unplugged and standing upright on its side or stored with its base plate facing down (I had a hook to hang it on, but sometimes left it standing up on the ironing board), all the water that was left in the iron would leak out.(I somewhat got around these last 2 problems by only putting a very small amount of water in the iron, then emptying it immediately after I was done. It was a pain, as there often wasn't enough steam to do a great ironing job or iron multiple things without having to refill it, and my clothes still got wet. But the water spots would be dried up by the time I got to work and I wouldn't come home to a wet ironing board or floor anymore.)* It broke after 6 months of casual use. I would iron only a pair of pants and shirt usually once a day 2-3 times a week, and then one day after about 6 months, the iron just wouldn't turn on anymore (and I tried all the outlets).Good riddance though, since I was too cheap to buy another after I realized this one was terrible, I suffered along with it for 6 months. Now at least it forced me to buy a better iron. If you're looking for an inexpensive iron, don't buy this one as there's a good chance you'll get a lemon. As I write this there are 35 reviews (including mine):3 people said the steam knob popped off (2 reviews, 1 comment)5 people said the iron broke after a few months or never worked in the first place (4 reviews, 1 comment)4 people said it leaked (4 reviews)2 reviewers (Michael and Toby Klein) who gave it 5 stars have rated multiple Smart Tek products, including several irons, giving all 5 star reviews. I'm sure these guys bought 10 irons from the same company and gave them all 5 stars (big eye roll here). These look fishy.Also several reviewers who gave this a good rating said they've only used it for a short time (like a week or less). I wonder if this iron is still holding up for them after 6 months. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1171662-smartek-steam-iron-red](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1171662-smartek-steam-iron-red) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
