Does this work well with steam generator irons? My padding (not cover) is getting very wet if I iron for more than 30 minutes even dripping on floor

Yes I replaced my old pad on my ironing board with this pad and it works perfectly, never had any drips whatsoeever.

Yes, it has worked well for me. It is made very well and is very thick. I use the heaviest steam setting and typically iron for an hour or more and this has never been an issue for me.

I typically iron for over an hour using the steam setting and I have no issues with the padding getting wet.

I've never had a problem with the pad getting wet. This pad has worked really well so far!

I have regular old tfal steam iron and it blocks the moisture pretty well but i don't usually do more than 4-5 items at a time. I do like full force steam though! I spill water fairly often tho because i'm clumsy-- no drips through the cover so far!

Have not used the Clover iron but know the Rowenta had a short life for the upright steam feature. It failed in less than one year, but still worked in the horizontal position. It was the second Rowenta that failed this way for me and saw that others posted the same problem

The pad has a padding between the outside metal appearing fabric and a cloth lining, separating the padding from the outside and the lining. The padding cannot be seen and the lining prevents direct contact with the ironing board. There is nothing can I can see that would stick to your ironing board. I love it!

I had other bad experiences with this iron. Steam left big water spots on silk ruining a lovely scarf After using it once I gave it away. Didn't use it long enough to have trouble with the filaments. Sorry. Marci

I dont know about the other irons, I have had another Rowenta and I like the DW6080 the best., uses tap water and does not spit or drip drag water on what I am ironing. This is the best iron I have had and used. It is my favorite, very smooth and small tip goes under buttons easily. Really like this iron and for me it got hot enough, most of our ironing is 100% cotton and it does a beautiful job. Hope this helps you....

I DO have a steam generator iron and it holds perfectly. It is sturdy enough!

Greetings from GoVacuum, We are a very large distributor for this product, and I do get this questions very frequently. I have called Reliable and asked them about why the machine still leaves the floor wet. What they told me was that there is no need to continuously hold the steam trigger down while you are mopping your floors. They tell me that once the pad is wet, the pad will already be hot from the steam, and you should use the steam sparingly. I have tried this techniqe and found that the machine will still clean very well without be trigger happy, and leaves the floors substantially dryer when I'm finished. The best technique I found is to pull the trigger, let the steam accumulate on the pad for approximately 30 seconds, and then begin mopping. I can usually mop a 25 square foot section before I have to release more steam.

I bought other pads and I had no problem with them, it holds about 10 ounces of water, and they say you should use only water, as it will clog the steam jets. I bought generic pads on ebay and had no problem

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.

Hi there. I had the same problem too. Until I discovered that if you stand with the iron rest end of the ironing board in front of you. Place your feet on the ends of the legs. And very easily slide/pull the iron rest toward you. Yes. That's it. Then when you're done just push it back closer to the board. I just love this ironing board. And yes. The covers are thin but I put a piece of that polyester batting (cut to shape) under the cover to plump it up a little bit. And I use snug straps/sheet tighteners to make the cover lay nice + flat + tight. They're available on Amazon. Have a good week! Hi there. I had the same problem too.

I'm a quilter and love it! Not to worry, it's not too much steam. And you can adjust it if you want, although I always use it full strength. Just remember (as with any iron) to press, not iron, your blocks open.

Sorry, we're still in the remodeling process and I haven't used it yet for actual ironing. However, there is a fold in the cover fabric where the ironing board bends in half for storage. I expect to add thin padding or a towel when I use the ironing board, but I had to do that with the full-sized board I had before, which had a much thinner cover pad.

I had a Rowenta, actually I've been through 2 Rowentas, with that same problem. Also with both Rowentas not only did they leak, the on n off button didn't work either. This iron sooooo far very good. No leaks and irons better then a Rowenta

Do you have the correct heat on your iron? I use this product a lot and have never had a problem. The other thing is, have you prewashed the fabric? These are the only things I would know. Good luck!

When the green trigger is set to the eco setting, you receive an average amount of steam; when the trigger is set the boost setting, you get slightly more...When the iron is upright, and independent of the trigger setting, the steam no longer flows.Beyond the trigger setting I believe you will be correct... excluding maybe if you use distilled water it will leak...

The padding is adequate. I use a metallic pad next to my ironing board to reflect the heat from my iron, then cover that pad with a cotton cover (also comes with padding). My old metallic pad lasted 40+ years, but I change my upper cotton pad about every two years. I am a quilter and like the extra "cush" for opening up seams. I am also old school enough to iron some of our clothes...

Yes...I wrote about this a bit in my review. The same thing happened with a previous Rowenta I had as well. Something in the way they manufacture it or they do some sort of testing in the steam function, results in these white flakes coming out when you first start using the iron with steam. This will go away after a few days or week or so of use. Regarding the leaking, I experienced significant 'spitting' of water with the auto-steam turned on, when the iron would steam and big drops of water were coming out. I didn't have water just leaking out of the sides or anything, which is a problem a lot of defective irons have. But if yours is just "spitting" with the steam, this problem should eventually get better as well after a week or two. However, I've had mine for a few months and it hasn't gone completely away, but it doesn't happen that often or the water drops are small. Still, kind of disappointed with that as my previous Rowentas have not done this. Overall I still think a good iron though so far...you should probably try holding on to it for a bit and see if it gets better.
