It’s worth noting that the steam control is adjusted via a nifty slide on the handle rather than behind it, as it is with most models, making it simple to switch between no steam, high steam or something in between without having to hunt behind the handle to do so. We appreciate the steam burst and spray buttons on the handle, which are easier to press than those on other irons thanks to their soft touch and smaller size.
A small dial under the handle allows you to set the temperature for four fabric types: nylon/synthetics, silk/wool, cotton or linen. We found the simple settings easy to use. It weighs in at a light 3.3 pounds, and the slightly contoured handle is comfortable to hold.
It also comes with an automatic three-way shutoff, turning off after 30 seconds when it’s left lying horizontally or on its side and between seven and 10 minutes when it’s left sitting vertically.
Heating up in a lightning-fast 39 seconds, the quickest of all irons we tested, it also features a handy indicator light that turns green to alert you it’s ready.Īs with most of the irons tested, this Maytag model features a self-cleaning setting with an anti-calcium system to keep its steam vents wide open and working well and doesn’t leak. Lightweight, super-steamy, able to get rid of even the stubbornest of wrinkles and priced affordably at less than $50, Maytag’s M400 practically had us looking forward to laundry day.įor starters, it takes less than a minute to get to work - and when you’re in a rush to get ready and need something ironed, stat, there’s no better option.
