US version not built to last
By Reviewer
For this price (twelve hundred dol.) the LauraStar Premium S3 ironing rig should work for at least 10 years of normal household use. It does not last that long. It has two-year factory warranty but it broke after three years. Come on, cheap irons work for twenty years, and much longer!Inside the iron's handle the thumb switch steam trigger broke. It has a thin plastic lever pressing upon a micro-switch; I super-glued the broken lever back and hope it would hold for a while longer. This lever, which clicks hundreds of times each ironing session, should be thicker, or metal.The iron's inner thermostat started to interrupt randomly - not heating the iron. I had to open it up, which is a complex task, and clean the contacts with a small file. This is really poor quality thermostat. I never had this problem with cheap irons, or any irons. I assume that the Swiss factory did not account for the fact that half the Voltage in US means twice the current, and they used their standard European 240 Volts thermostat for their American version. Their European models probably last longer.Finally, the steamer in the lower part stopped working and the iron became unusable. Torx T15 opens the back cover. Inside I discovered a whole lot of overheated, browned or blackened, push-on connectors. Here is a basic math: 1200 Watts in Europe (240 Volt) draws only 5 Amps, and the same 1200 Watts in US (120 Volt) draws 10 Amps = TWICE the current, thus all connectors must be TWICE as beefy. Or else, they will overheat.It appears that the overheating connectors (not overheating steam!) tripped thermal protection on the hot tank. The protection can be reset with a paper clip wire, which is what I did. I removed all push-on connectors and squeezed them gently with pliers to create a more tight connection: with less resistance = less heat.I got the iron to work again --- for the time being.It is a great, overpriced ironing system that does not last long enough to pay for itself - therefore my two stars. I'd recommend similar steam ironing system by Rowenta at a fraction of the cost.=========I attached a few pictures showing inside the steamer.

Best iron ever!
By SEWJULIE
Best iron ever! It cuts my ironing time in half. I also do alterations and can not imagine not having my Laura Star iron. Nothing compares. I have used other irons for years and I have never been able to get the clean crisp crease in pants like I can with this iron. One tip for best performance is to remember to flush the tank on a regular basis it makes all the difference.

By emily
I completely disagree with the review previously written about this product. I do not usually write reviews but this product has changed the way I feel about ironing!I purchased a LauraStar iS6 for my business and the S3 for my home. Both have been fantastic products to work with. Due to the nature of my business I have used many "cheap" irons (as the reviewer before me stated) throughout the years and none of them came close to the result I get when using the LauraStar. There is nothing out on the market like this product. The construction is sound/durable, the style is sleek, and the storage of the system is no problem at all--it fits perfectly in a closet.Because of this product the time I spend ironing has been cut in half, I no longer waste time taking garments to be cleaned and pressed at the dry cleaner, and my garments last longer because they are ironed/pressed at home using only steam--no chemicals like at the dry cleaner. In the 5 years I have had this product it have paid for it's self time and again and again...I highly recommend researching this product line. Yes, the sticker price can be shocking but please BELIEVE ME it will be worth the cost in the long run. Thank you for reading~
