is it possible to iron sheets and how much does it weigh?

Errr ... it's kind of big and unwieldy, for my needs. Cumbersome, to be honest. Seems like it's 10-15 pounds, maybe more. You could tote it around easily enough and you could absolutely do sheets, I imagine, but in sections only. I think it would be much easier just to use a steam iron. Ideally, this thing is for dress pants. Dress shirts are not ideal for this because you obviously can't get around the buttons and the sleeves are another issue.

Yes, you could iron sheets with it. You'd just have to do it in segments since the width of the press surface is about 25". I don't know the exact weight but I can easily pick it up and move it to another spot (and I'm a petite woman), yet it's sturdy when on the table for use.

First, I LOVE this steam press!!!! When I first got it, I was ironing everything!!! Yes, it does iron sheets. You have to do it in sections. You might want to fold the sheet completely first and then iron it in sections. Don't know the weight, but it is manageable.

It's not easy. I iron down the middle...then fold it by bringing the corners together...then iron the folded edge. It's not perfect...but it's not bad either.

I find the 15 to 30 watt irons are not enough in some cases so I chose big variable wattage to complete the mission.I use 200 to 300 watts and heat sink the sensitive parts.It's all trial and error with materials???

No, I've never noticed the weight of it. It might be 2 pounds but it feels the same weight as every other flat iron I've used.

Yes, the material is soft enough to punch holes in the fabric. I actually uses pin to hold it tight first. I have not tried ironing though.

I'm not really sure, heavier than a regular iron, but I like it that way, it does more of the work for you, but it's not too heavy, I can still use it upright to steam hanging garments. I love it, I will never buy another regular iron again!

I cannot tell you the exact amount as I don't have a scale. But what I can say is this is the best iron that has ever ironed in history of wrinkled clothes. this is actually my second identical iron, because after the first one that broke after seven years of college kid like abuse I couldn't get any other iron b/c I wouldn't trust it.

Hammer, anvil and scrap iron will work ... Won't be pretty but that's how I used them

I actually put the iron on a scale, it's 1/2 filled with water and it weighs about 2 lbs. It works well and I am pleased with my purchase!

I don't know how to iron, and this thing is way too big. I got a steamer and worked my way slowly, it got a lot better, and I left it mounted for a while it removed most of it. Good luck.

I've been happy with how hot this iron gets. I also like its weight - which should help with heavier fabrics - you won't have to apply as much pressure.

Anthony, just guessing without scales I'm gonna say less than 2 pounds. The iron carries no water it is connected to the table and the steam flows through a wrapped insulated conduit to the iron itself. It's is very effective in it's design and does a great job pressing. Now, that being said the board itself is pretty heavy, but maneuverable and manageable. You'll love the abilities of this system and for the price, I think, is the best on the market!

It is of normal weight. It is the best iron I have ever had. My ironing goes almost twice as fast.

I agree with the other responses. The iron doesn't weigh over 1 to 1.75 pounds.

The gross weight as listed is 20.5 pounds. The ironing board itself is probably 15 - 16 pounds.

No it is not for Heavy metal ! You can do thin sheets only , like copper or silver
