For a standard full-size board in Australia, Sunbeam’s MODE SB4400 is the documented 120 × 40 cm option. New Zealand shoppers looking for a wider surface can compare the 135 × 45 cm Couture SB8400 and Chic SB7400; the HiLo SB1300 is a compact tabletop choice in Australia. These are specification-based comparisons, not independently tested rankings, and Sunbeam lists them on different regional sites.
Which Sunbeam ironing board fits your space?
Start with the board’s open surface, then consider where you will store it and how often you will move it. The MODE is narrower and shorter than the New Zealand XL models; HiLo is a tabletop board rather than a standing-height board.

Does Sunbeam make a tabletop ironing board?
Yes. Sunbeam Australia lists the HiLo SB1300 as a tabletop model. Its 83 × 34 cm surface is smaller than the standing boards, and its 18–23 cm height range is designed to place it on another surface, not to stand on the floor as a full-height board. Measure the table or benchtop you plan to use, including clearance for the legs and iron rest.

When is a steam-generator tray useful?
The Couture SB8400 is the only model in this comparison whose New Zealand listing specifies a removable steam-generator tray. If your iron has a separate generator base, compare the tray’s placement and the product’s current specifications with your iron’s footprint before buying. The cited listings do not provide tray dimensions or establish compatibility with particular iron models.
What replacement cover fits your board?
Match a cover to the board’s measured dimensions, not just its brand or appearance. Sunbeam New Zealand lists GEO SB0840 for boards up to 135 × 45 cm, while Chevron SB0440 is listed for boards up to 120 × 40 cm. GEO is described as reversible cotton with an EasyGlide non-stick side and drawstring/toggle closure; Chevron is machine-washable cotton with a drawstring/toggle closure.

These are manufacturer specifications for products listed in Australia or New Zealand. They do not establish which board irons faster, lasts longer or is more stable under use, and the two regional sites do not demonstrate availability in other countries.
