After 100 uses you have to buy an anti- scale cartridge, bit if a con, as every other iron I have had, the anti- scale has been built in, and when needed cleaned the iron gave a warning, and all you had to do was put the iron on the iron shaped container and pressed a button and the iron cleaned itself
Maggie pi have just unpacked this iron andfilled it with water, waited a good amount of time for it to reach temperature.when pressing the steam button, their is a very long delay before it spurts out any steam.the most dangerous thing is,when pressing the steam button, it’s also leaking from beneath main unit.the water bottle is sealed in tight.it’s either faulty or it is just plain dangerous.i will definitely be asking for a replacement or my money back !very angry
Yiorgos ChristodoulouWorks okay as an iron but the clips to rest it on the on the base are poor.The steam tube fits vertically into the back of the handle this means it catches on your wrist in use.Storage instructions say wrap the cable round the base but there is nothing there to keep it wrapped, or the cable is the wrong length for that to work as shown in fig B and to fit in the storage plug hole, so had to coil it up using an elastic band.The clip that is supposed to hold the steam tube for storage is useless it just pops out again.On the plus side I don't need to use it very often and it is cheap.
JakitsThe plug cable does not wrap around the base properly. The iron is lightweight but so much so that it does not stand upright on my ironing board so has to be placed face down.It is easy to fill and it is a good ironThere is no handle to carry it once the iron is finished with meaning that the whole unit has to be lifted with your handswhilst the iron is still hot.I am usually as fan of this brand which is why I chose it. I'm not impressed
denise longbottomTakes a good while for steam to come through after pressing trigger. You have to time it just right or the steamcomes out after lifting off clothes.
Amazon CustomerNone. Doesn’t easily iron delicate items,drips water when I press for steam,no matter the setting.
JaneNone. How can you ask me how my product is when you haven't delivered it after 6 weeks from order??
ShaunIt looks good. It kept sticking to my clothes and ruffled them when ironing them it didn’t glide over them
LyndaAuto switch off. Steam doesnt come out for a rew seconds after button pressed
DennisThe design of the iron as far as storage is concerned is very poor. The iron itself just balances on four
small hooks on the base unit; there is an ineffectual clip for the large steam cable and the cable attached to the plug has no storage arrangement at all so it has to just dangle. The iron has to cool before it can be balanced on its hooks to be stored. The whole unit has to be carried very carefully because of the iron balancing on the base unit rather than being held in place somehow and the two cables flap about. Extraordinarily poor.
As far as the steam ironing function is concerned, it is adequate but not brilliant. Rather a lot of chugging happens before steam appears and when it brings itself into steaming action there is just about adequate steam. Over all not
impressive.

Mrs. L. ClarkeThe design would have been great if the iron worked. Loved the fact it was lighter in weight than most; the fact that it could stand on its end ...saving space brilliant idea.. First one didn’t even turn on, got a replacement and it turned on got up to heat/power but then the steam had a delay every time you pressed the button it would just about start by the time you had finished ironing the whatever it was you were trying to iron ... then it would continue firing out steam several seconds after.I literally ended up with the room filled with steam and the ironing took me twice as long ... I TOOK IT BACK FOR A REFUND ...
CLW. Too long for steam to dispense
MarkUmm easy to carry. It’s really the only good point I can come up with it!. There is a delay when you hold the button for the steam shot, press the button and you have to wait for the steam to come through each time. Ironing took a lot longer because of this. It started spitting out dirty water on the second use so I had to wash the clothes again. I took the iron back and changed it for a completely different brand
Suzanne. the steam takes a while to come through to the iron & continues long after the steam button has been released
Confirmed purchaser. not enough steam and slow... very slow.
HanifNothing like the reviews .. slow to heat up, didn’t really get hot enough to iron shirts, more steam came out of the bottom of the base than the iron .. refund requested
Mander ThiaraReally good lightweight iron. Amount of steam is disappointing though and water comes out of the bottom of the iron sometimes
