Iron A Way sunbean professional 4238 Review

Consumer reviews at Amazon.com provide the most current and objective perspective of the Sunbeam Professional 4238. Good Housekeeping magazine tests the iron's predecessor (the Sunbeam Professional 4239) and compares it with three other irons.

Reviewers indicate that the Sunbeam Professional 4238 strikes a good balance between price and performance. Many owners praise it for the amount of steam it produces and claim that the burst-of-steam feature is also powerful. Some, however, report that the steam power diminishes over time. History shows that all irons break down eventually and that even more expensive irons, like the Rowenta DZ9080 Advancer (*est. $130), break down as frequently as budget models do. The Sunbeam has digital electronic controls (which some say can fail), a self-cleaning system and a nonstick soleplate.
