* SteamXpress™ irons, designed specifically for today's committed-ironer who wants to look good and views ironing as an essential part of their routine, were developed to deliver optimal steam and heat performance directly to the ironing task -- from crinkled chinos to wrinkled skirts.

Features found on * SteamXpress™ irons include: a user-friendly Sure Steam™ system that automatically delivers the right amount of steam for any temperature setting; Sure Grip™ handles, for added comfort; Auto-Off, for automatically shutting off the iron; dual water windows, for viewing water levels from either the left- or right-side; and, a flexible cord, for greater freedom of movement. Additionally, * SteamXpress™ irons also feature an Auto Clean system that prevents mineral and lint buildup by automatically cleaning the steam valves, preventing harmful sediment buildup and thus adding to the life of the iron.

SteamXpress™ irons are available at mass merchant and discount stores beginning in June. All * SteamXpress™ irons are backed by a one year warranty and are U.L. listed.
