Amazon.com Review
Steam away creases in a badly crumpled shirt with the Compact Pro 300 Ironing System from Italian home appliance giant DeLonghi. The iron improves upon previous steam irons with its enhanced pressurized boiler, constructed to convert even harsh tap water into steam. With an adjustable thermostat and varying steam levels, the professional ironing system accommodates a wide variety of fabrics, ranging from delicate silks to cotton and linen. The well-designed iron handle adapts for left- and right-handed users alike.

The steam iron features a heavy-duty aluminum soleplate with a polished satin finish for snag-free, smooth ironing with even heat distribution. DeLonghi crafted the boiler in two materials to extend its steam conversion capacities, using stainless-steel construction in the upper portion and a super-alloy bottom. For greater thermal heat, the boiler tank is molded to enable the heating to rest within the bottom. The tank holds up to 1 liter of water for 2 hours of steam ironing. Users grip the ergonomically friendly cork handle to operate the iron. The ironing system also adjusts to steam vertically for curtains and hanging items. As with all electrical appliances, read the enclosed warnings and user guidelines for the steam iron before use. This item is covered by a limited three-year warranty and weighs 13 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

The best iron ever! July 25, 2008
I read all the reviews because I was deciding between the equivalent Rowenta and this iron. The only aprehension I had was about the business end of the iron - was it easy to maneuver or was it klutzy in the hand? It was difficult to determine from the picture. Since there was no mention of such a problem in the reviews, I had faith and went ahead. The minute I saw it I knew it was perfect. It could not be more graceful - not heavy at all, glides like satin and the steam is amazing.
My husband came into the room while I was pressing a tailored outfit I was making as a gift for my sister and he said "It smells like a tailor shop here". I said I love that smell and he said he does too!
Even if you have to stretch the budget, do it, buy this. It's an investment - one of the better ones these days!

Mild spitter. July 16, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I have been using this steam system for about a month. I am a quilter, so it gets a lot of use several days a week, for several hours a day. It is vastly superior to a regular iron in that it works better and faster. Regular irons spit, gush, leak and then die young, in my experience. I had read about the inconvenience of having to shut off the iron and wait 15 minutes before refilling when the tank runs empty, and the further inconvenience that there is no way to see inside the tank to gauge its fill level to know when it's about to go dry. But I had not read any complaints about spitting. Unfortunately, this iron does spit a bit. At least it's not a gusher. It seems to be the worst when i first use it, so i try to iron the board a bit before I put any fabric under the iron. Before this, I used a similar steam system from Rowenta, which never spit in 3 years but then died a sudden steamless death. The replacement model for that unit is made in China and has poor reviews so I tried the DeLonghi. Given the DeLonghi's fairly reasonable price point for a steam system, I am happy with it overall. It's way better than a regular iron, but not as good as my departed Rowenta.

DeLonghi Stiromeglio Steam Generator Iron July 7, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I bought this iron a month ago and have LOVED having it. The first time I used it, I actually went back to my closet looking for more clothes to iron - unheard of! The iron gives off great steam, and the "dry steam" concept is indeed true - the fabric wrinkles are relaxed, but the fabric has only the slightest dampness. Very effective. I also like the smooth soleplate, it really irons the fabric smooth, even difficult fabrics like cotton and linen. I do a lot of garment sewing and the iron has been really good for that as well - a good steam iron is invaluable for sewing. I have used Rowenta steam generator irons in sewing classes, but I prefer the DeLonghi iron to those, it has much more the weight, feel and look of a commercial iron. I highly recommend this iron, for sewing or just for ironing clothing.

DeLonghi Stiromeglio Compact PRO 300 Ironing System with Pressurized BoilerJust got my iron and it is marvelous! It's true, you really can iron faster because the steam passes through to the other side. Did a pillow case in 30 seconds. What's the record? With a little practice. Get the Rowenta ironing board to go with itRowenta IB-6200 Professional Ironing Board. It has the right support for the iron boiler and it's nice and wide. You won't be sorry. My wife even likes the system.

Simply the Best March 3, 2008

I needed a steam iron and made the decision to buy this one after reading the reviews. I agree with one person who said: "If you need a steam iron buy this one." Previously my Jeans and Cotton clothing was sent to the cleaners but not anymore. My jeans as well as other cotton items look professionally done. It does a good job on other fabrics as well, wool,synthetic etc. but follow the instructions. This system took a little getting use but I soon got the hang of it. I pressed blue Jeans and other cotton items without using seam and then steamed them and got a very smooth press. For me, this method was fast and easy.
