NO! Don't do it!
Pros:
Nice ice blue and white appearance :)
Cons:
Lousy iron that leaks like a sieve and doesn't really iron all that well either.
The Bottom Line:
DO NOT BUY THIS IRON!!! If you have $25 bucks to waste, send it to my daughter's college fund. It's a lousy iron that will water your clothes!

Author's Review
The Sunbeam Steam Master 4222 Iron with Auto Shut-Off has "Drip Free" written on the left hand side of the iron. Liars! Not only does it drip, it practically pours water out of the base, rendering the iron useless.
Not only does water drip and/or pour out of the base, it drips onto the clothing that you are ironing. No matter what the setting, no matter what the temperature, no matter what steam setting, no matter how low or high the amoung of water you pour into the iron, it leaks! What is more frightening than annoying is that it appears to be leaking water through the area where the cord is supposed to recoil.
No matter, the cord doesn't recoil anyway.
The amount of steam, regardless of which of the three setting that you use, is insufficient. Okay, this is probably because water is coming out, but it is in there for a little while, and that should translate into a fair amoung of steam at the highest levels. Nope! It's basically the same no matter what the setting unless, of course, you set it to off. No steam, but still dripping!
Finally, the non-stick surface seams to have a problem with cotton blend shirts. It will occassionally pull the material along with it. This is merely an annoyance, but with the rest of the problems with the darn thing, it sticks out.
