Shark (Euro-Pro) · Kitchenware & Appliances > Laundry Appliances
Era / Decade
2010s (Modern construction and digital interface typical of this era)
Material
Heavy-duty plastic housing, chrome-finished plastic accents, stainless steel or ceramic soleplate (likely stainless steel), and rubberized 'soft-touch' handle grip.
Condition
Very Good. The iron appears clean with minimal lime scale visible in the water tank. The 'soft-touch' rubber grip looks intact without the stickiness common in older units. The chrome finish shows minor water spotting but no significant pitting.
Demand Level
Moderate. Irons are steady sellers, but shipping weight can be a deterrent for some buyers. Demand is higher among the DIY/crafting community.

Description
Professional-grade Shark steam iron featuring a 1-touch digital fabric selector for precise temperature control. Sleek black and chrome design with a high-output steam burst button and a tapered tip for maneuvering around buttons and pleats. Includes a large water tank and a heavy-duty swivel cord to prevent tangling.
Key Features
Digital precision settings (Silk, Wool, Syn), powerful steam burst, Shark brand reliability, and heavy weight which is preferred by quilters and sewing enthusiasts for better pressing.
Authenticity Indicators
Shark logo and model stamp on the base; characteristic 'Fabric Select' button design and digital interface layout matching Euro-Pro manufacturing standards. High confidence.
Flaws to Note
Minor water spots on chrome trim; internal water residue suggests it was stored with water. Potential for minor scratches on the soleplate (not visible in photo).
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for reaching a wide audience), Facebook Marketplace (best to avoid shipping costs due to weight), or Mercari.
Selling Tips
Flush the tank with a 50/50 vinegar-water solution to ensure no mineral buildup before selling. Photograph the soleplate clearly to show it is clean and scratch-free. Use keywords like 'Quilting,' 'Sewing,' and 'Professional' in the title.
