CHI Steam Iron for Clothes with 8’ Retractable Cord, 1700 Watts, 3-Way Auto Shutoff, 400+ Holes, Professional Grade, Temperature Control Dial, Lava Infused Ceramic Soleplate, Black (13113)

Llego en excelentes condiciones. A mi me ha funcionado muy bien. Yo por lo regular plancho mucha mezclilla gruesa. Y con esta plancha no batallo nada. Es muy comoda y calienta lo necesario. La ropa delicada no la maltrata tampoco.

I am glad i picked this one! Looks good. Cord retracts in and out easily. Lava iron quality unique. A little heavy, but works well. No need to press hard, just glide through those wrinkles! Definitely the right Chi to get!

As a professional seamstress, I’ve been through a lot of irons—Black & Decker, Sunbeam, multiple Rowentas, even an Oliso. Each one eventually disappointed me, usually by leaking, shutting off too soon, or taking forever to heat up. So when I bought the CHI Lava Iron, I was taking a risk on a brand I’d never heard of. But I was desperate for an iron that doesn’t leak, heats up fast, holds plenty of water, and stays hot long enough to actually get work done. After a month or two of daily use, I can honestly say: I love it. - 🔥 Heats up in under a minute—a huge time-saver. - 🧱 The lava ceramic soleplate glides beautifully and holds heat well. - 💨 Steam output is powerful—almost too powerful on the burst setting. If I could tone that down a bit, I would. - 💧 No leaks so far, even when full. (Pro tip: wait until it’s fully hot before tipping—makes all the difference.) - 🕒 Auto shutoff is 30 minutes, which is far better than the 8–12 minutes on most irons. Still not ideal for quilters or seamstresses, but manageable. - ⚖️ Weight is perfect—not too heavy, but heavy enough that I don’t have to push down to get crisp seams. - 💡 Dial is smooth and continuous, not clicky, which threw me at first—but now I love it. One quick turn and I’m at the highest setting. - 💦 Water tank is generous, though the dark plastic makes it hard to see the water level. - 🔺 Precision tip is excellent for darts, pleats, and tight corners. I’ll update this review if anything changes, but for now, this iron is exceeding my expectations—especially at this price point. If you’re a serious sewer or quilter, this one’s worth a look.

Good product. The cord is long enough and comfortable. A bit uncomfortable a safety feature: if not in touch turned off automatic in standing - in 30 minutes, in flat position- 1 minute, but this increases safety from fire and reasonable good. Makes sound when it achieved desired temperature. Has several types of spray water: direct , from the base and enhanced, like modern iron has several functions.

I have only used this iron for 2 days, but am incredibly impressed by how SMOOTH the plate moves over the cloth. Also, due to the weight I was afraid it might be too heavy for my arthritic hands, but even after filling the water reservoir the weight is no problem.
