Catherine Flanova

Bought this iron after the cheapest Scarlett. The difference in favor of Braun - huge. Yes, it costs a little more, but it is also much more pleasant to use. I have had it for almost 1.5 years, I use it regularly, but have never had to clean it or use a pencil for the soleplate. Also, it is very convenient to pour water into it, the tank itself is huge, if compared to other irons. In general, I am very satisfied with the purchase, and I can safely recommend it. Who writes that it sticks - you need to learn how to use the steam supply. Then you won't ruin your clothes.
