I find this very easy to use, does a good job. Wife says it needs to get hotter. So a divided opinion, but does what I expected.
Reg2843really good quality much better than much expensiver TEFAL
y s.Had for 3 months, leaks water. No good.
Kindle CustomerI have a few steam generator irons in the past, from Morphy Richards and Bosch, both were good, thought I would try a different brand this time and bought the Braun Carestyle 5. It has been a total disaster. Leaks a lot of water while ironing. It has been back twice to the manufacturers, but still no joy. Would advise anyone against buying this iron.
Sartaj S TyabjiThis product was far less efficient than others I have used in the past. It leaks water and fails to go through the garment making ironing much longer than it advertises. Would not putchase another Braun CareStyle steam iron generator again
Mary Clare KellyLooks lovely and worked for a couple of months but now water drips out of sole plate with the steam. Returned for a refund, as I will try another make.Rather disappointed, Braun used to be combination of great design and functionally. (Search "Dieter Rams"), but now Braun small appliances are produced by Delonghi...
dbankI have never written a review for any product I ever bought, but this iron impressed me so much. If you like me who hates ironing buy one of these ???? Best steam iron ever!!!

Danushi Matota ArachchigeGreat- wish I'd bought one of these years ago
Mrs M BenthamAm very pleased with this product . it cuts ironing time down by half all in all an excellent product.
Amazon CustomerThis is a fantastic iron. I was pretty sceptical about the iron not having a temperature gauge, but it's brilliant. No worries about what order you iron your clothes in. Easy to add water. Highly recommend
rmacThis is a great iron and I was surprised to realise how powerful the steam was, it easily irons the underside of the garment when you also iron the topside, meaning there's a real time saving. It therefore makes ironing an absolute breeze.I particularly love that the base unit of this iron is fairly small (only a bit bigger than the iron), which makes it easy to stand on your ironing board without taking up too much space. It holds a ton of water (1.4 litres) which means you can get on and iron without having to keep filling up the reservoir. There's no temperature dial because the iron auto adjusts the temperature to the fabric you're ironing. With a bit of trepidation, I ironed my favourite (but cool iron required) top straight after a cotton shirt. After taking a deep breath and shutting my eyes (not recommended when using an iron!), it glided over the top easily with no melting.The other thing I love about this iron is that the iron itself clips securely onto the top of the base unit. This makes it safe and easy to carry around without risk of the iron falling off, and indeed it means you can store it easily too, without knocking the iron off the top. But, the main thing I loved about it is that I could also secure the iron onto the base unit when leaving it to cool. That way, our children are not able to accidentally touch the hot soleplate when the iron is cooling.Things to note, the iron can be quite loud when it's generating the steam. Not a problem unless you're ironing in the same room as your asleep baby (as I was!). The noise is intermittent as it only occurs when the steam needs generating. Also the cable running from the base unit to the iron gets boiling hot; watch out you don't catch yourself with it, or indeed have children around who could touch it.
DebbieHaving had a lot of problems with irons over the years I can now say I have found one that I am happy with. I purchased the Braun Carestyle 5 IS5043WH from a store that is "never knowingly undersold" and who offer excellent customer service. They price-matched this model at £99.99 due to me finding it at that price at a "Co-Operative" store.The iron is extremely comfortable to use and I have happily ironed for around 4 hours at a time and never had to pour more tap water in which in itself is very easy to do as it has a wide mouth. It is also not problematic for me to empty out the water by lifting the base up given it is not particular heavy. Takes a couple of minutes to heat up which is great.This iron should have more 5 stars reviews.
sensemayaBest Iron I've ever owned. Gets the job done a lot faster than the previous irons I've had.
Mr JI was undecided about which steam generator iron to buy as mine had broke, I am so pleased I decided to buy this Braun one, it is the best steam generator iron I have had, it is lightweight and irons really well
Moira B.Makes ironing much easier.

The Easy lock system one-move feature secures the device safely and quickly: just press the iron down onto the station and it is locked. Just pick up the whole compact system and it is ready to be stored away – quickly and easily.
