Gravity- Feed Steam Iron ~ Silver star ES-300

Excelente producto, ha funcionado bastante bien.

Muy buena plancha excellent

I’ve had this iron for less than a year and it had an electrical failure where it won’t turn on at all. I reached out to this seller who never responded to me. You can’t get product support through the manufacturer and Amazon is absolutely ZERO help as well. Just be warned

I like that it came with the external charcoal filter instead of using charcoal in the water container. Solid iron has weight to it. Easy to set up and use. Very similar to a high-end commercial iron I had before at half the price. Silicone mat is nice, but for longer use, I would put another layer below it of something that won't conduct the heat through to your table.

The seller did a wonderful job of wrapping and shipping the package. (Zipstop) I like that it includes the filter for the water and shoe to protect the iron sole. Also, the price was right for me. A few things I am not that happy about. First is the lack of directions for this first-time-gravity-iron owner. So directions would have been nice. Second, the handle does get really hot at the base. I'm sure I will find a fix for that. Third, the dial switch is a little funky and imprecise. As others have said, the direction leave much to be desired. I found a Youtube video titled, "Setup Guide - Silver Star Gravity Steam Iron ES-300 (Domestic & Industrial)". Short, detailed, and it really helped me. Unfortunately, they didn't include the inline filter in the directions and I could not get the water to flow into the tube. After a bit of searching, this is what I did: Directions for inline filter: Step 1: Attach the tube from the water bottle to the filter Step 2: Turn the water knob to start the flow. I put a bowl under it to catch the water. Step 3: Turn the water back off and attach the tube from the iron Step 4: After letting the tube sort of fill with water (for me it took a long time), heat the iron up and depress the steam button. Finally a full tube of water. There is probably a better way to do step 4 but it was trial and error for me. I hope this helps others that buy this iron. These types of reviews help me so I am passing it along. Also, I found a pretty good cord minder here on Amazon. It is actually too short for me but it keeps the cord out of the way. The name is "SimplyImagine Cord Holder for Ironing Board - Flexible Steam Iron Cord Minder, Keeps Cord Out of The Way" Here is the link https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08S48G41B/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Very good

This has to be my favorite Amazon purchase ever! After working as a presser in a dry cleaners for over 15 years, I finally decided to see if there was a comparable iron for me to use at home. Well, this is it! First you will notice the weight of the iron, most retail irons try to sell themselves as being light weight as a plus but this is a misconception, a properly weighted iron will do the hard work for you. Couple that with the virtually endless steam and I can iron nonstop for a few hours. Granted, I love to iron, but this takes away all of my old frustrations. No more iron that spits, needs to be refilled every 15 minutes, dies after a few months and is so flimsy I have to lean into it to get enough pressure to do the job. The Iron ships with everything shown in the photo and my ONLY "complaint" is the length of the cord, this was resolved with the simple purchase of a heavy duty extension cord. Be sure to understand this is a GRAVITY FED steam iron, that means the water tank needs to be above the level at which you are ironing. Solution: Put it on a heavy duty hanger and work near a place to hang it. PS There are a couple of other brands that seemed similar but I chose Silver Star because it was one of the primary brands we used at our dry cleaners, I knew their products to be of high quality going back many decades and I was not disappointed at all after all these years!

Second time I’ve bought this iron. 1st one lasted about 3 years. Not bad, since it’s on all day everyday. Replaced it 6 months ago and it’s dead again.

Excelente plancha, ya es la segunda que compro y es buenísima.

Very happy with this product. I've been using it for a while now. It works like a dream.

La verdad es muy buena plancha, hay que seguir bien las instrucciones de instalación aunque no es nada complicado pero cualquier detalle puede hacer que tire agua en lugar de vapor, la verdad ha sido una excelente compra recomiendo el producto, ya que hay otras que son imitaciones y soportan menor tiempo de carga de trabajo.
