Review: What a Nice Iron - This iron is unlike any iron I have ever owned. There is no temperature dial. It has a button for fabrics that require less heat and there is a button for high heat. Both lower and higher heat can be used with steam. At first I wasn't sure about this temperature setup but it works perfectly. You can dry iron by turning off the steam button. All buttons are lit. Red when heating and green when the temperature is reached with a beep too. This is the first iron I have owned with a steam generator. It provides constant steam flow when you have your hand on the handle. When you remove your hand the generator stops making steam. It has a pulsing sound and feel in the handle while pumping steam. There is absolutely no spitting or leaking water. It holds quite a bit of water and steams for quite a while. When I first opened it and saw no temperature dial or even an off switch I thought we'll "we will see". I was pleasantly surprised. It also has auto off functions too. I consider this to be way above your top of the line irons that use gravity feed for making steam. This is a steam machine. There is no need for a burst of steam function because the generator makes constant steam.
Review: Good quality iron with steam! - I love this iron. My first one stopped steaming and started leaking after a few months but it also took a plunge to the floor so I’m hoping it was because of that. The steaming helps with wrinkles. It is a heavier iron but I personally like the heaviness.

## Features

- Continuous Steam Without Leaks: Our patented dual-chamber system delivers consistent, dry steam at any temperature. It eliminates leaking, dripping, and spitting, even at lower heat settings
- Heat control for professional results: The Velocity 240IR has an AUTO setting that's safe for all fabrics, and a TURBO setting for heavier fabrics that need a little extra heat and steam. From silk to denim, you can expect effortless wrinkle removal, while remaining gentle on delicate fabrics
- Sensor Touch Technology: The built-in sensor handle activates steam automatically when you hold the iron, so you do not need to press a button. This is ideal for anyone who prefers an easier grip or has hand or wrist discomfort, and it prevents steam-button fatigue
- Smart Steam Settings: The Auto Steam mode removes the guesswork by choosing the ideal steam output for your fabric. When you need more power, the Turbo setting boosts both steam and temperature to tackle heavy or stubborn materials
- Scratch Resistant Soleplate: The anodized aluminum soleplate glides smoothly over fabric and stands up to everyday use. Its durable surface resists scratches, making cleaning simple and preventing damage from zippers, buttons, or embellishments
- Advanced Safety Protection: An 8-minute auto shutoff provides peace of mind. If you need continuous ironing, you can bypass the auto-off system with a simple button press so your iron stays ready as long as you are. Perfect for quilters and sewers
- Flexible and Tangle-Free 8.2 ft Cord: The 360° swivel cord makes it easy to control where the cord goes, so you can focus on ironing

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful Iron
*by S***N on February 17, 2020*

I love the Reliable Velocity irons. My first Velocity was the 200IR and it lasted me without any problems for four years. That is incredible to me because before that I couldn't get an iron to last longer than six months to a year. I'm a quilter and sewer of all things, so I iron every day. My 200IR finally gave out on me and when I saw this one, I decided to buy it. I've had it just a couple of weeks, but it is proving to be just as wonderful as my 200IR. This iron is heavy for anyone who may find that to be a problem. I put it on my kitchen scale and it weighed with the water tank full at just over 4 pounds. This doesn't bother me as I don't have any problems with my arms such as arthritis or joint pain. I just want to add that factor in to the review for those who may be concerned about it. With this 230IR, I do love that the steam is engaged by just placing your hand on the handle. Of course you can shut the steam off when not in use. You have a couple of options for steam, one being the auto for lighter steam and the other turbo for lots of steam. You do get lots of steam with these irons and it's one reason I love them so much. I also love the soleplate that glides so smoothly along any fabric. This iron also has the auto-shutoff option and that itself can be bypassed for many of us who prefer not to have the automatic shutoff. I highly recommend these irons. To me their price tag is worth it for a "reliable" iron. I've tried many irons in my lifetime, but these are my favorite.
