Quick to heat up, taking under two minutes. Good accurate temperatures on all dot settings. Clear controls and smooth glide. Main controls easy to line up. Useful carry lock

Pilot light on tank could be brighter. On the model we tested the last 30cm of the flex would not retract properly. Handle slopes at an uncomfortable angle. Cannot stand on its heel

great iron. The iron itself is quite light. Holds plenty of water in the tank. Steam pressure is great. Would recomend it.

This is the mother of all irons that does a boring job exceptionally well. Not having used an "steam generator" before, I was quite looking forward to this and once used to it, more than impressed. Out of the box, it is pretty large but quite...
