Top Rated Steam Irons

This post will hopefully save you some time (and maybe money) by taking a quick look at 5 top rated steam irons. With so many choices out there, we have done the homework and narrowed the choices down to five of the best performing, best value irons that have very high customer ratings.

The most important ranking factor is customer rating. Without a high customer rating, we don't consider any product. Performance and value are also extremely important in our product selection.

And we have also included various price points as people have different needs and budgets.

BLACK+DECKER Digital Advantage Professional Steam Iron, LCD Screen, Gray, D2030
BLACK+DECKER Digital Advantage Professional Steam Iron, LCD Screen, Gray, D2030

This full-featured iron has several features that we really liked. Taking advantage of modern technology, this unit has digital temperature control, variable temperature and steam controls and an automatic shutoff.

It is made by Black and Decker and has a very attractive design.

The high steam rate is very useful for getting out wrinkles and - let's face it - that is the purpose of the steam iron.

It is moderately priced and a very good value for all the features that you get.

Rowenta DW9280 Steam Force 1800-Watt Professional Digital LED Display Iron with Stainless Steel Soleplate, 400-Hole, Blue

A powerful 1800 watt steam iron with SteamForce technology to quickly remove wrinkles. The space-age looking iron can really push the steam. It has a smooth-gliding stainless steel soleplate with a non-stick coating and 400 holes.

The LED ready indicator is nice as well as the auto shutoff and anti-calcium self clean system.

This is a higher end steam iron with considerable power and is a very popular choice among Amazon customers.

Sunbeam Classic 1200 Watt Mid-size Anti-Drip Non-Stick Soleplate Iron with Shot of Steam/Vertical Shot feature and 8' 360-degree Swivel Cord, White/Clear, GCSBCL-317-000

This lower-priced steam iron by Sunbeam (certainly noted for home and kitchen appliances) has a Shot of Steam feature to give an extra burst of steam when needed. It has an anti-drip system to avoid water spillage and also has a self-clean system.

It does have an auto-off after 30 minutes for safety.

Even though it is lower priced than many units, it has a lifetime soleplate and a limited 3-year warranty.

It is a more basic iron that can still do the job at a great price.

Another great iron by Sunbeam, this one with 1400 watts power and a large water tank. It also has an anti-drip system to prevent water leakage and unwanted drips.

The shot of steam feature gives that extra burst of steam needed so many times.

It comes with an 8 foot retractable cord for neater storage - no more wrapping a cord around the iron after it cools down.

And it has the standard auto-off feature and an anti-calcium self clean system.

This 1700 watt Rowenta has a highly polished stainless steel soleplate with more than 400 holes to effectively disburse the steam. It has variable steam, steam burst and mist spray options.

At a little higher price it is feature rich including anti-drip and self-clean systems. We like that the 7-foot cord can pivot, as well.

The comfort-grip handle is a great feature, especially when you have to do a lot of ironing.

Very attractive and a highly rated, often purchased item on Amazon.
