Customer Reviews
Most reviews are positive. Many people say that because of the electronic control the iron will be difficult to repair in case of failure, but such situations for 3 years (which is how long has passed since the iron was released for sale) - did not happen. That is, the equipment is reliable.
Antonina Vushak
The iron is very happy. I use it regularly. I will definitely never buy an iron with a regular thermostat after this one. It is not very heavy, glides well. No problems with the steam flow, but the steam blow sometimes drips.
