Review on Enhanced Oster Heavyweight Classic Dry Iron GCSTBV4119 Iron with Osterizer Clothing Abilities by Jarod Berthelson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

NOT GOOD FOR HTV. No higher than 130 degrees!

Being in a bind I wanted to use this iron as an HTV press filler until I got my heat press in the mail. Unfortunately, according to my infrared thermometer, it doesn't get over 130 degrees even at the highest level! I pulled out my mom's old steam iron and it heats up to at least 375 so I know the thermometer isn't the problem. Too bad I can't just turn off the herd because I really need to finish these projects. I hope none of these other reviewers are selling the items they make with it, even if your iron magically gets hot enough, the heat is distributed throughout, and it's hotter at the tip and edges. I'm sending it back today. Don't waste your time - you could spend twice as much on a cheap heat press that you at least know will get hot enough (perhaps with some cold spots) that you can constantly pressurize your projects.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Unreliable
