We no longer endorse this iron and suggest you go here for newer options.
Who is it for? If home ironing or sewing demands a large amount of your time, life is about to get a lot easier.
What we love! Yet another Hamilton Beach winner. Pressurized steam systems were originally designed for professional and industrial use, but now we get to enjoy them in our own homes. We also love the sleek, contemporary grey finish.
Not only does it comes with some serious wrinkle removal skills, but it’s also light, easy to work with and has the largest water capacity of any steam generator iron we’ve reviewed to date. The 5 bars of steam pressure produce a powerful steam force that penetrates creases and effortlessly erases them. This drastically cuts down on your overall ironing time.
Unique to the Hamilton Beach Professional is its non-stick soleplate with 10 times the life span of conventional coatings. Added to this is their 3 year warranty, 3 times that of its competitors in our review.

Non-stick Soleplate
In our book, this is one of the top features of the Hamilton Beach Professional that sets it apart from the rest. The manufacturers boast a Durathon nonstick soleplate that they claim is 10 times more durable than traditional nonstick ironing plates.
The solplate also has steam holes distributed over the base for even steam distribution.
Now I will openly say I’m super excited about this proclamation. In my experience, coated iron are more trouble than they are worth and I’ve always preferred a simple stainless steel soleplate, but looking at the evidence, Hamilton Beach is teaching us something new… here’s a little additional info if you’re curious.

The 5 foot steam hose allows you distance to both iron on your ironing board and vertical steam. The base of the steam generator has convenient cord storage so you can wrap excess power cord or hose out of the way when in use or when you’re done.
It’s comfortable and light to work with. The dial and buttons are conveniently placed for easy use, both horizontally and vertically.
