What it is & Key Specs

• This is a dry iron (i.e. non‑steam) from CORNELL, model CI‑SP5H.

• Weight: ~ 1.6 kg — heavier than many basic irons. 

• Power / Voltage: 1000–1200 W, compatible with standard 220–240 V / 50–60 Hz mains (as in Malaysia). 

• Soleplate: Ceramic‑coated soleplate — helps the iron glide smoothly over fabrics and reduces sticking. 

• Controls: Adjustable temperature control with thermostat and temperature‑indicator light. 

• Other features: Chrome shell, Bakelite (or heat‑resistant) handle, BS‑plug, ~1.5 m cord length. 

• Soleplate size: ~ 12.7 cm × 22.3 cm — fairly wide for good coverage per stroke. 

• Warranty: According to listing, comes with 2‑year general warranty.

 What It Does Well — Strengths & Use Cases

• Better iron‑through power: Because it’s heavy (~1.6 kg) and has a large, ceramic-coated soleplate, it can press wrinkles out more effectively and evenly — especially useful for heavier fabrics like cotton, denim, or thick uniforms.

• Smooth gliding & fabric‑friendly: The ceramic soleplate helps it slide over fabric without snagging or sticking, reducing risk of damaging delicate garments.

• Good control over heat: Adjustable temperature + thermostat + indicator light means you can match heat level to fabric type — from light synthetics to heavier cotton.

• Suitable for frequent / batch ironing: For people ironing many clothes (e.g. uniforms, work shirts) frequently, the weight and plate size help reduce the number of passes needed, saving time.

• Simple, low‑maintenance: As a dry‑iron (no water tank, no steam functions), there’s less to maintain (no anti‑scale cleaning, no dripping), which means easier care and lower risk of leaks.
