This in turn allows them to try different settings for different items, finding the perfect setting for each one themselves. The Steam Storm Plus Iron also features an automatic shutoff feature, so even if the user forgets to turn the iron off, it will do so itself. This can prevent damage to clothing and other items, and save large amounts of money that would have gone to replacing the damaged items. When compared to another Hamilton Beach iron, the Steam Storm Iron, the Steam Storm Plus Iron has some advantages, including a viewable reservoir, and a 7 3/4" soleplate.
