hello I'm interested in purchasing the AMIKA purple my concern is what's the temperature range for this iron&amp; if its a small or large iron? THANK YOU

The iron is roughly similar in size to the Chi, maybe a fraction bigger. I used to have the Remmington Wet 2 Straight and that was bigger than the Amika. It goes up to 425F.

I wound up sending mine back, I thought it would produce a LOT more steam, honestly my iron produces more steam than the Oreck that I bought. It came highly recommended by a friend, I bought a refurbished one, but was not impressed. So from what I gather, these things just don't produce a lot of steam.

Yes, i highly recommend this iron, and you are going to love it so much, but buy the small or the middle size.

I love this iron. It is because it is a very easy glide and that you do no lifting that I like it. Automatic touch lowers and raises it. In my opinion it would be a good idea for you. It would be more the correct height for your ironing that would be more the problem.

lAccording to my husband, our house is 220 and I use this iron at home. The only criticism I have is I can't see when the water is low. My old Passap had a clear water tank, but this is a really good iron to use. Lightweight and does a good job.

Have not had a problem so far so I can't answer, perhaps clean with a vinegar solution. I also have a tendecy to agree with the other answer, Its not the greatest iron but for the price I could toss it and not feel guilty.

This iron is a medium to medium-lightweight iron. It does perform well as I am a quilter and use it daily for long periods of time.

didn't keep mine long enough to have problems. Bought my at a local store and took it back the next week. I now have a Rowenta that doesn't have the auto off feature. I'm a quilter and want the iron hot when I need to use it. Here is a previous comment I made on this iron: I'm sorry I bought this iron. It has auto shutoff which I don't like but have gotten used to since all irons are like that. My major beef with this is after is shuts off and you move it to start it again you have to move it to the setting you want. It doesn't return to the setting you had before. I don't turn my irons off, when I'm done I unplug them and when I plug them back it to use again, you have to reset the setting. Shouldn't have to constantly reset it.

I have noticed that my Plugged iron has plates 2-3 mm longer, and tried some ther that claimed their plates even longer than usual length - that was true. But the results from everything I've tried before cannot be compared to moriccanoil hot iron. I think, the end result is what matters the most - hair looks gorgeous! My friend tried it as well and noticed the difference in using it and how her hair looked. Enjoy the product!

Hi Turtlesaver...thought I'd share with you this update on another flat iron. I took a chance and bought the Conair YOU flat iron....while it doesn't get super hot (two settings hi-lo)...it has "plates" that curve around the sides which seem to deal well with the rough ends issue. It works best if you've straightened your hair with a round brush and hair dryer first....which is what I typically do. If you're going from wavy to straight the Conair You won't be hot enough. The Infinity Pro I ended up returning it was awful. Here's the link to the other if you want to check it out :) Conair YOU Style Straightener Hi Turtlesaver...thought I'd share with you this update on another flat iron.

I think this is a light weight iron but I previous used a 5 pound tailor's iron. I bought this because it was much lighter than my old one. My girls also like this iron.

Meg, I purchased the V200 because it has the option of selecting continuous steam since I do a lot of sewing and quilting and had this feature on a previous iron. I truly love this iron and would recommend it to everyone. I have not had any water spitting problem with this iron which makes the iron worth its weight in gold. There is no better iron on the market as far as I am concerned.

Can you or anyone who has used this iron beyond its initial period tell me if it has begun to "spew", leak or sputter? I have had several Rowenta irons in the past and they invariably sputter and drip eventually and create lots of ironing headaches. How is this one doing after owning it for a longer time? Thanks.

Do you have the correct heat on your iron? I use this product a lot and have never had a problem. The other thing is, have you prewashed the fabric? These are the only things I would know. Good luck!

Hi,With adaptor iron tip (small) Low is 220F, Mid is 390F & High is 560F With adaptor iron tip (large) Low is 185F, Mid is 340F & High is 480F With adaptor Ball tip Low is 210F, Mid is 400F & High is 580F With adaptor Slim line tip Low is 200F, Mid is 355F & High is 500F With adaptor Hot Knife Low is 185F, Mid is 340F & High is 480F All temps are approximate, but are extremely happy with it, and like anything with heat, you have to take due care, because this little iron packs a mean heat ( scars to prove it). A must have item for the crafter person.Hope this helps
