Has anyone used this on button downs? If so, does it work well replacing an iron?

I do not understand the question. Do you mean the red pin? Red pin up means pressure is too high to add water. Unplug and press the button to release all the pressure from the unit. Water is still hot, but red button will go down. Then shake vigorously when safe to do so, to get the water and the calcium built up from the steam (a gray sediment) that can clog the openings and cause the steam to slow and spurt. It could even permanently clog the steamer otherwise. If a lot of sediment, I add cold water and shake until all the residue comes out. Then add fresh water, and plug it in again. The unit will build steam power again, and the red pin will pop up, sealing off the unit. Hope this helps.

I use the t up that came with the iron. I keep it clean by werring. it constantly in a wet sponge on my holder,and when I finish a session clean it off better. it still works for me. it should stand to re as son that the manufacturer would provide the recommeded tip.

That happened to me when I first started using the iron. I find that if I turn it to Off for just a few seconds and turn it on again, it works properly and consistently. The longer I use it, the better I like it.

It's only supposed to go down while you are ironing and then it pops back up. This was a problem for me because when I went to use my travel iron or the iron in my other home I would leave them laying down instead of upright. I then scorched a few things. I would not replace this iron there are much better one's on the market.

Gee, I dont know why you would keep getting it. I did not like the iron because as I was ironing my hand would change the setting. The setting control is right where I hold the iron. Very bad design in my opinion.

I found that the iron was not hot enough. I did not use steam, but clothing was not hot to the touch the second after ironing that spot like they were on my old iron. I don't want to have to go over the same spot more than once or twice to iron a wrinkle out. I found that was what I had to do.

I didn't find a crease attachment, but I like it with that pull-down panel and with that I can make creases in my pants it takes a little getting used to how to maneuver it but it is not that hard, I can steam/press my clothes really quick. However, as far as cuffs & collars it comes out better if you use an iron in those areas. I checked to find the best steamer available and this model was in the Hammacher Schlemmer catalog as being the best of the best. I despise ironing but love my clothes steamer...full disclosure, I paid full price for it and did not receive anything for endorsing this product.

It has not done either for me and I use it a lot. Best iron I have had in years.

excellent. all you do is find the type of buttons you want for your garment, place it the buttonhole tool and it makes the button according to the size of the button. love it

If you drilled out the rivets that hold it on, yes. If n it, no. It doesn't seem like it would be hard to drill out the rivets.I love everything about the ironing board except the iron holder. It cradles the iron rather than is a stand area for it. It feels awkward. Otherwise it is rad. My hubby is a VERY large man-shirts are huge, this board is wide enough that the shirt doesn't touch the ground while I'm ironing it.It's sturdy and seems like it will last for years.

I haven't used any other, so I cannot compare, but I was satisfied with this tool for ironing seams and hard to reach places. My only caution would be that this iron can get dangerously hot! Definitely recommend a holder of some sort beyond the wire stand built into the iron itself.

Definitely not...This removes wrinkles, but of course does not press.To press shirts or slacks you'd want something like this...Steam Fast SF-680 Digital Fabric Steam PressHope this helped.

Provided the counter is constructed of thick heavy plastic, I am relatively certain it would work for touch-ups or ironing just one garment. However, I wouldn't advise using steam full throttle for very long for obvious reasons. Hope this is helpful.

It's heavier than some but I find I don't need to press down on it. I just lay it on my clothes and glide it over the wrinkles. For me it works better than other irons.

You may have intended to send this question to another reviewer. As I stated in my review, this iron worked very good for me for about a year. Suddenly it just stopped heating. The light came on, but the soleplate would not heat. As a result, I just threw the iron away and purchased another brand...so I don't have the iron to look at to answer your question. Sorry I couldn't help.

It isn't a heavy iron like the original (I have an original) but pretty close to it. I don't think you will find any made like the original. I've used it several times and I am pleased with it. By the way, my original tends to leak a bit - it doesn't close as tight as it should.
