SWIX T77 Economy Waxing Iron for Alpine and Nordic Skis, Snowboard | 110V 1000 Watt Wax Iron with Temperature Adjustment

Works really well, the base is nice and big and it heats up super quick. The stand built into the back is really convenient because when you're done you can stand the iron up so it can radiate heat away without cooking the electronics, so this will last longer than a normal wintersports iron.My only gripe is the dial being built inside the handle, it's tough to look at and set but it also means you're not going to bump the dial when you're putting on wax and vaporize your wax rather than melt it.

This Wax Iron has been with us for 9 years now and it has held up very well. We wax our skis about 4 times a year, and it does the job. The iron heats up quickly and melts nicely on the skis. Obviously, you want to keep moving the iron as you go down the wax so you don't put an immense amount of heat in one spot.

I read lots of reviews about irons before purchasing this one. I'm pleased to say It works really well having just waxed my snowboard. It is small and light enough to carry in your back pack so when you get the hotel or condo you can do your waxing. Some people complained that other irons don't show whether the numbers are in deg C or deg F. This one clearly shows they are in deg C and the instructions include a conversion table. I like that the power chord moves through 90 deg where it connects to the body and also the bevel edge at the rear of the iron to make it easer to lift off you board if there is any suction when waxing.

It does the job nicely, no complaints - it's a solid Swix product like you'd expect. The main shortcomings are: 1) the temperature adjustment on mine is off by about 10˚C (checked with a FLIR thermal camera in a darkish room without lights), so if I want 140˚C I need to set it to 130. 2) it's marked in ˚C rather than ˚F; might as well be in Kelvin for all I'm concerned. 3) The handle obscures the temperature dial, which makes it hard to tell exactly what it's set to. 4) It would be nice to have a power switch on the unit itself rather than plugging/unplugging it.

The SWIX T77 Economy Waxing Iron is an excellent choice for beginners. It’s easy to use, reliable, and comes at an affordable price. If you’re just starting out, I recommend skipping the full waxing kits and buying the waxing iron separately. For scraping, I use my daughter’s large triangle ruler, which works just fine. You can purchase wax from EVO, and that’s really all you need as a beginner. This simple setup is more than enough to get you started. Overall, the SWIX T77 is a great value for those new to ski or snowboard maintenance.

Appears to work as intended, the temperature is easy to control and the iron glides smoothly.

Great iron, heats up quick and works so well. Evens out the wax across the ski very fast. I wax my skiis almost every time now because it’s so easy. Sure beats the clothes iron I was using.

I have no complaints. The dial is under the handle which makes it a little difficult to see the temperature setting, but the iron works fine.

I bought this iron for waxing Fjallraven G-1000 garments. It works great for that and has easily set temperature controls. Haven’t used it to wax my skis yet but it seems pretty straightforward.

Fait le travail amplement.

Works good, just hard to see the temperature setting on dial as they are small and hidden by handle

This product is an industry leader and is more than able to take care of my home ski waxing needs. I'm now into season 3 with this iron and it's in perfect condition.

This is a great iron. Especially at this price. I bought one of the other wax irons sold on Amazon and it was too small for today’s wider skis. This iron is big compared to the others and seems to have good heat distribution and reasonable accuracy on the temps.
