does it have steam holes on the soleplate? I need a dry iron without steam holes on the bottom.

It does have steam holes and steam ironing capabilities, but if you don't put water in it it won't make steam.

Sorry, Cyndi, the travel iron does have steam holes in the heating plate. You re correct that you need a dry iron; one with no steam

Yes, it does, but I just don't put water in it. It is so light and easy to use, if you are careful, nothing will catch in the holes. There is a dry iron on Amazon..Continental Electric CP43001 Classic Dry Iron. It has no holes on the bottom. Good luck!

To date, this has not happened. I did add additional padding to the ironing surface. I like the spacial ironing surface andadjustable height. The metal work on the one end seems superfluous; the cord often gets caught on it.

I have used my iron regularly and have not had a single problem with it. I would recommend this product as it functions well, the sole plate remains clean, and it is easy to maneuver.

If you are talking about the slight "gap" between the soleplate and the body of the iron I think that is a design feature. Mine has that and there is no adverse effect when ironing. I like the heft of the iron and the ceramic finish on the soleplate really makes the iron glide. I have experienced no leakage of water from the iron unlike the cheap ones I had in the past, but I do not full the water tank to the brim. It makes ironing dress shirts a breeze.

NO steam holes. This unit does not have steam. I love it as I quilt and I use a dry iron.

Hi Pamela,I don't remember, because I immediately returned this iron. I didn't like the steam output at all. I replaced this iron with a Rowenta DG5030 steam iron, after I owned a Reliable Iron Maven 420 steam iron. The bottom of the Reliable burned out, because I left the iron on/plugged in overnight. I really liked the Reliable Iron Maven 420, but was concerned that it my burn again, as I had read another reviewer who had a similar problem, but didn't leave the iron on.

I haven't had any problem with the steam at all. This is the best iron that I have owned. As a quilter I really appreciate this iron.

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.

the removable comb sits at the very edge of the flat plate, so there are no holes on the flat plate. there is basically a groove alongside the flat plate that the comb slides into. The only con to this iron is the handle does get a little hot when on the high setting, otherwise good iron, works well!

Yes, and it also has two pairs of straps on the under side that pull it snug - these straps hold to each other with Velcro making it very easy to pull it tight and conform to your ironing board. The surface will still be very slightly puffed up but if you run your hot iron over the cover - basically iron the cover without any clothes on it, in about 3 passes of your iron it becomes very flat and just right to use.

Mine does not have the holes. Sorry you have that. I would go ahead and return the second and try one more time. Worth it! I just love mine.

I've never had that problem and I use the steam option all the time. You might try not pressing so hard on your fabric and making sure the fabric is smooth on your ironing board. Hope that helps. Good luck!

No holes on the bottom. You would need to be really low for the sides to kick up anything. I have never had an issue.

since i sent it back, i can't answer that without looking at the iron. the iron was hideous...every time i tried to use it the water would splatter all over my garment leaving spots. i always use steam so a dry iron was of no use to me. i don't remember if i reviewed this iron, but i would give it a 1 star. i now have a T-Fal ultra glide and it is marvelous.

Yes, that is so. Personally, I have no issues with that, since the steam is really what does the work for you. Household irons such as this don't have an enormous steam output anyway. In my experience, the only time there was a need to regulate the steam output was with a commercial steam iron.

No holes on bottom. This prevents the wood chips from catching on fire. You want them to smoke not burn.

I usually mist some clothes with water instead of using stream from the iron; especially with denim that I've forgotten to pull out the dryer in-time. But to answer your question, I feel the iron does get hot enough to use with out steam.
