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

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - A spitter
Our first boiler type steam iron (EuroPro) finally stopped after 14 years of use. I bought this one as a reasonably priced replacement. I use reverse osmosis water in it even though they say you can use tap water. After the first 2 months of use is has begun to spit water pretty much all the time. I called the authorized Delonghi service shop here and as he put it "Delonghi is overpriced crap". I am not sure that I agree as it does a great job other than the spitting and the inconvenience of ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - amazing
Amaziong iron, I remember been in Italy and watch my mother ironing, boy people iron a lot over there. After a long search I found it on amazon.com, (great service) so, I had to buy it. No regreats what so ever, the only down site is that here in the US everthing plugs in on a 110v outless requiring more time to heat up and more energy to keep the steam going. I will recomand this to everyone.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - if it keeps working it is great to use...mine didn't
Had my Stiromeglio for about 5 months and steam started escaping around the iron base. Burns me now when I try to use it.

Not very well made obviously, and when I received it I was a bit concerned because the exterior is all molded plastic.

I really enjoyed it for five months....now not so much

DeLonghi Stiromeglio Compact PRO 300 Ironing System with Pressurized Boiler
I have owned the Rowenta Expert Steam Generators that I have loved, loved, loved. The first one worked for about 4 years and then stopped steaming. It seemed like the button on the handle was locked or broken. I sent it in for repairs and it was the broiler tank that had gone bad, the cost was about $90.00. It lasted about another 2 years and then quit working. I decided to try a different brand (the Delonghi Compact ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - European style pressing
These type of ironing systems can be frequently found European households; chances are you've seen one of these if you've traveled there extensively. This one provides powerful steam and very smooth glide - leagues ahead of most "American-style" household irons... but then again, the price is also leagues-ahead, so it better outperform them!
This is not for the ocassional user, but for serious crafters, seamstress or folks that are perfectionists about pressing. You will do better with this than ... Read More
