I was trying to be environmentally aware when I bought this iron, but have been grossly disappointed.
I had to return the first one I bought as the heating element broke within 3 weeks of purchase, and I was able to touch the plate when the iron was switched on and turned to full heat.
Thinking I had been unlucky, I replaced the iron with an identical one, and it's not much better. Even the replacement doesn't seem to get as hot as the last iron I owned (Philips), and therefore I have to press harder and for longer. The water tank empties after steam ironing only 4 items (or 2 shirts), even on the lower setting. For a week's load of ironing with muddy children in the house, this means constant stopping to refill.
Ironing has become a chore again. Only reason I haven't returned it to the shop from where I purchased it is because I stupidly binned the packaging. This was an expensive iron and I regret the purchase. Please don't make the same mistake.
