Anyone ever buy a Shark iron? Opinions please
#21
I have a shark and love it!!! Like someone else mentioned, i should get another one - just in case.
i was looking for one that didn't have teflon on the bottom of it because my iron is always on high heat. I've had it for over 5 yrs...

I bought the Shark after reading so many great reviews here, but I'm the exception, didn't care for it, relegated it to ironing instead of quilting. Went back and bought a new Rowenta. The bad part is I'm not totally sure why I didn't like it. I think it didn't get as hot as I wanted. May have to drag it back to the quilting room and try it again.

In looking at the Shark irons at Wallyworld I've noticed that there are 3 that are called professional. So what I'm wondering is which one of them seems to be the best? Each model is a different color. Which color are y'all talking about? I've got to buy a new iron in the next couple weeks. Thanks for your input.

I used a Shark at the quilt shop tonight where I'm taking lessons. The teacher has 3 different brands in the room, and the Shark was definitely my favorite. I like the solid weight, the point, how hot it gets, and I am more comfortable knowing it has an auto shut-off.

I still love mine , I have the smaller one and if I had it to do over would probably buy a larger one because my hand accidentally turns the heat down and I don't realize it because of where the button is on the small model. Other that that I love it for the price . I could never pay the price for the big name brands , but that is just me , I want to spend on other things

I've seen the Sharks too and was curious. I got a Black & Decker iron 19 years ago for a wedding gift and it has been great! Well, except it started spewing black stuff after 2-3 years but I solved that by keeping a spray bottle on my ironing board. I feel like my trusty B & D is reaching it's life expectancy.
