Amazon.com Review
Designed to provide professional ironing results, Euro-Pro's steam generator iron saves time and money on dry cleaner's fees. More powerful than a regular iron, this iron sits on a 13-by-9-1/2-inch base that generates the perfect balance of steam. This steam generator can be adjusted to produce more humidity for cottons or drier steam for pressing dry-clean-only items.

To add water, unscrew the knob on top of the generator and pour in the desired amount using the included funnel. Able to hold enough water for two hours of continuous ironing, the stainless-steel generator heats up the water and sends it through the industrial-strength hose to the iron's soleplate. The power and penetration of the steam means that no arm pressure is needed to smooth out wrinkles. In addition, the steam shortens ironing time significantly and presses clothes as well as a drycleaner. The iron works at any angle so it can double as a garment steamer to eliminate wrinkles in curtains or hanging garments.

The iron has a durable, professional-quality soleplate for longevity, which rests on the steam generator's non-burn pad when not in use. Its steam button can be locked for continuous steam or pressed to send short blasts of steam for hanging clothes. The unit features separate power switches and ready lights for the iron and steam generator. Because of the large size of the steam generator base, this appliance is bulky to store and is more practical for homes with a designated laundry center. The EP8001 steam generator iron is covered by a one-year limited warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

5 out of 5 stars Euro Pro Steam Generator   January 10, 2007
Very satisfied. When the first product quit working after 10 months, the manufacturer sent me a new one. I have been using it frequently for 2 years with no problems.

I will definitely buy another like it when this one wears out.



1 out of 5 stars Terrible product, Terrible Customer Service, Fire Hazard   September 18, 2006
We are an adult family of two. We purchased this iron in 9/03, in 9/06 it started to flame at the point where the steam cord exits the iron handle. It is a dangerous product with no customer support from Euro Pro-- don't buy it!

This is the best iron ever. I simply love the extra steam and the way it speeds up my ironing time.


4 out of 5 stars Safety/Filler Cap   December 13, 2005
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Like other owners of this product I am very pleased with the ironing capabilities. There are only two issues that I have with this product. The first, and of course major, concern is the heat of this iron. Placing the iron on its rest has caused severe damage & melting of the rest. Luckily no fire was accompanied. The second issue that I have is the Safety/Filler Cap. The gasket, on the cap, seems to wear out quickly. I have replaced the cap twice already but it still keeps leaking. I have tried to purchase ONLY the gasket but they WILL NOT sell me just the gasket. They make you purchase the entire cap at over $30.00 where as I only need the gasket. Can ANYONE please help me obtain another source for this gasket with out having to purchase the entire cap? Please! Your help will be GREATLY appreciated! [...]. THANK YOU!


4 out of 5 stars Excellent iron, defective hose in handle   June 1, 2005
 9 out of 9 found this review helpful

I bought this iron despite some of the negative results, and after about a year of weekly use - wouldn't you know it - it happened to me too!

First, let me say that when this iron works, its works AWESOME. There is no better way to effortlessly iron clothes than with low-heat and steam. This iron is by far the best iron I have ever owned.

Now the flaw: Yes, I can confirm what others have complained about - the iron breaks. Steam stops coming out of the bottom of the iron and the handle gets VERY hot. I am a bit of a tinkerer, so I took mine apart. Here is what I discovered:

The steam transfer tube between the primary hose and the iron's internals is completely inadequate, and deteriorates under prolonged high-heat.

This tube, about 2 inches long, will form small holes and may sheer off completely (mine did both), although the rubber "feels" like it should be fine. When this happens, there will be less and less (if no) steam coming out of the irons steam holes on the bottom plate. Instead, the pressure leaks into the plastic handle. If it builds up enough, you could severely burn yourself, if not also cause an injury due to dropping the iron on yourself.

This is a serious defect in the manufacturing of this device, that they did not use more adequate tubing throughout the entire unit. There is an obvious tube quality difference between this 2-inch piece, from the tube that feeds in from the handle. Why they would choose to use inferior rubber for a 2-inch piece of tubing is beyond me.

I went to the hardware store and replaced the tubing with quality materials, and my unit is working fine again. This can be an easy fix for anyone inclined to dissemble their iron - but I would strongly caution against anyone buying this unit new if they are still shipping with this problem, as you could sustain serious injury because of it.
