Review: Mysterious items No info - Having a busy sewing business, I rely heavily on my iron. I have had three of the Sapporo at this time. I luv the iron and it performs well, when it works. BUT the lack of customer service and befuddling parts included that have no explanation leaves me unhappy with the provider. I have spent literally hours trying to find info about parts (the parts list included is vague) and how to fix this iron. The fuse goes out. Should be a simple replacement. After getting it in, the iron still doesn’t work as before. No one has videos, etc. for this particular iron. So. After this one goes, I will either retire or find a different iron. Great iron but good luck! Review: This is the best iron I ever used - 2021: This WAS the best iron I ever used. It was heavy enough, got hot and no auto-shutoff. I've had it exactly 2 months. It was fine yesterday but today it wouldn't turn on. No light, no anything. I am beyond peeved!!! Update: Discovered the fuse had blown. It was easy to get a new fuse and pretty easy to replace it in the iron. I got my wonderful iron back! I've been using it almost daily since then. Now when I go somewhere and have to use a regular domestic iron I hate it because they don't have heft and don't get hot enough for the flat seams I'm now accustomed to. I got a second gravity feed iron to take with me. Update: 2025: My iron is still going strong with almost daily use and I still love it. I have it plugged into a power strip with a surge protector and no more fuses have been blown. ## Features - It is a rugged product, built to stand up to years of use, is user comfortable and its sleek design allows you to get to those hardtoreach areas - eatures a specially designed heat shield and controls on the back of the iron - This high quality, industrial strength gravity feed bottle iron will prove to be very productive and efficient - Elegantly designed with a softtouch thumb switch for easy and powerful steam release - Wireless power switch is easy to change if necessary ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002KEL55S | | Brand | Sapporo | | Brand Name | Sapporo | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 165 Reviews | | Frequency | 50 Hz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00850054307248 | | Item Weight | 454 g | | Item weight | 454 g | | Model Number | SP-527 | | Part Number | SP-527 | | Recommended Uses For Product | water | | Recommended uses for product | water | | Special Features | Auto Shutoff | | Special features | Auto Shutoff | | Style | Classic | | Voltage | 110 Volts | | Wattage | 1500 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Sapporo - **Recommended uses for product:** water - **Special features:** Auto Shutoff - **Style:** Classic - **Wattage:** 1500 watts ## Images ![Sapporo SA-SP527 Gravity Feed Iron - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61RjqGiIW2L.jpg) ![Sapporo SA-SP527 Gravity Feed Iron - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81AYn36FCqL.jpg) ![Sapporo SA-SP527 Gravity Feed Iron - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61O6d7xznuL.jpg) ![Sapporo SA-SP527 Gravity Feed Iron - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71+b5S-0mXL.jpg) ![Sapporo SA-SP527 Gravity Feed Iron - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/519owJ1hjpL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How long is the power cord?** A: About 51/2 to 6'. This is my 2nd Sapporo iron. I use an extension cord with it mainly because my plug is not very close to where I put my ironing board.My 1st Sapporo iron lasted over 20 years and I iron a lot. Hope this helps. **Q: what all comes with the iron?** A: everything except the cover plate for the iron you have to order it separately. Cost about 10 dollars and you will need it. I love this iron. I use it for quilting. **Q: reviewer that says it overheats fast, will instructions advise me as to what setting I should keep it at?** A: Fortunately I haven't had the problem the other reviewer refers to. I sew for a living and this iron is on for about 6 to 8 hours a day. Yes, they mention a bit about settings but depending on the material you are using and the amount of steam you are applying... the setting will depend. I use setting #4 (settings run #'s 1-5) the most for 100% cottons and corduroys. I bump up to #5 for heavy canvas. These are the materials I use most. I would suggest you try the various settings on the material you use to determine what works best for you since this iron is nothing like a retail/home use iron. My last iron was an Oliso and while I loved it...it just couldn't keep up. Sputtered and splattered all over the place. IF you purchase the Sapporo, be sure to purchase the demineralizer to extend the life of your iron. If you purchase this iron, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. **Q: I use these irons commercially so they are on all day. This last one stopped working after 2 weeks of use. Do I have to change the power switch?** A: It is likely the fuse. This happened to me as well... I sent it back and got it replaced. When it repeated again with the new one I did a google search and found out it was the fuse. I found a place (can't remember where it is at the moment) to order a replacement fuse. In the mean time, I took one out of an old iron and figured I'd give it a try. It worked... and is still working 8 months later. I forgot to turn the iron off and it was on for 2 days which is probably why the fuse blew. Trust me... I now make sure that iron is off when ever I leave my sewing room. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mysterious items No info *by M***J on 20 May 2024* Having a busy sewing business, I rely heavily on my iron.
