The soleplate is and the not smooth and drags, and the steam is intermittent. The reviews are very different, suggesting QA could be erratic.

The rubber stopper on the water tank allows water to leak out and down the iron on to the cable. I have stopped using this iron before I am electrocuted. I am surprised your review did not pick up on this. Should be a don't buy not a best buy.

This iron is terrible do not buy it. The cord storage makes the iron heavy and difficult to use. The water plug falls out all the time and water leaks out over the garments. It is the worst iron I have ever bought
