The sole plate does not glide like my regular iron, is there something I can do to it to make it glide?

Purchase a tube of Faultless brank "Hot Iron Cleaner." Follow instructions and this should help.

I have the same problem. After reading the previous answer, I will try his suggestion. Mostly I use it for quilting so do more up and down motion on seams rather than a lot of actual ironing.

Just received mine and it doesn't slide but sticks to my fabric. I ironed a dryer sheet (which is what I do when I get gunk on my iron) but it didn't change. I think I am going to return it. It gets hot but the steam is negligible.

Twila; I can understand your complaint. I came to expect this unit isn't like a regular iron and due to the size of this unit dabbed it onto the fabric instead of gliding, and got the same result.

So sorry you are having problems. Mine works fine and I love it. Maybe the iron cleaner that comes in a tube (Joanne's). You spread it on a towel and then run your HOT iron over the towel/rag several times. It works well and removes all that "stuff" that somehow gets on the sole plate. Good luck!

It is probably the water(minerals). U can by a special solution for cleaning out irons- can' t remember what it is called since I have quit ironing.maybe that will help..

We have the same issue. I was thinking about ironing the felt on a low setting and seeing if that helped.

set your iron to the low end of synthetic- cool to slightly warm. This is a cheap poly synthetic, with a low melting point. good luck!

The feet did not raise up on the first iron I ordered. I called the vendor and had them replace it. The feet "stick" on my second iron every once in awhile. Then again, I use a lot of starch, not to mention I use it everyday in my business. When the feet do stick, I turn it completely off and unplug it for 5-10 minutes. This seems to do the trick. After trying this and the feet still do not raise I would suggest calling the vendor and asking for a replacement.

Use a dryer sheet on the warm iron to clean the sole plate. It gets all the gunk out of the slots, any thing built up or stuck on the sole plate, makes it sparkle, is super easy and smells great!

It sounds like your ironing board surface is irregular, go out and buy a new board cover and I bet your unwanted creases will be gone.

I put a towel over mine a steamed it with the iron. Try it with a color you probably won't use 1st that's what I did.

If you are going to iron it, you should put a couple of pieces of fabric between it and the iron and use a light steam. I think I will do that too to get rid of the fold marks. Then instead of folding it, roll it over a paper towel roller.

Haven't tried ironing but maybe you can steam them out if you have a steam machine or try dampening it putting it in the dryer for a few minutes

Well, mine doesn't rock, so it likely is a defect. Maybe you should rinse it and then put something heavy on top for a day or two!

Best advice I can give, get an Ironmaster or Powerblock. Major problem with weights getting stuck - dials.

Yes, it glides well and steams well, including a burst of steam. The handle design makes it a bit unsteady on the ironing surface so I use a square tile to set it on and have no problems.

While I enjoy using this iron, it is heavier than "regular" irons that I have used before. If "regular" irons are too heavy for your use, I think previous suggestions regarding a travel iron may make more sense for you. Good luck!

You must have a bad one. Mine does not. Actually this is by far the best Iron I have ever used. Send them a note.

I have never had a problem with my ironing board rocking. It sits on a tile floor. If it were to sit on carpet, I am sure it, like any other ironing board would rock. I love mine and it gets lots of use.

Yes. I called the manufacturer. They suggested a fix for my problem which did not work. They are to replace my iron.
