Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers commend the CHI 13130 for its engineering excellence, emphasizing the lava‑infused ceramic soleplate’s durability, superior heat conduction, and ultra‑smooth glide, along with the powerful steam output from over 300 holes and robust 1700 W heating. They also highlight the ergonomic large temperature dial, comfortable grip, and reliable auto shut‑off safety features as key strengths for household ironing.
What Users Say
Everyday users consistently praise the iron’s strong steam performance, smooth glide, and the convenience of the long cord and intuitive controls, noting it makes ironing faster and more comfortable. Recurring criticisms focus on the iron’s weight and occasional steam‑hole design issues, as well as the relatively small water tank requiring frequent refills.
Common Complaints
Common recurring issues include the iron’s 2.9 lb weight being perceived as heavy, uneven steam distribution due to steam‑hole design, and the limited 10 fl oz water tank capacity requiring frequent refills.
