Fast delivery , good price and fantastic product ! looks cool and irons well , my wife is very happy . it indeed choses the temperature for different fabrics automatically and does it well:)

Really great iron and so easy to use. It is so nice not to have to keep changing the setting. The only negative about this iron is that you cannot wrap the cord around anything on the iron and it just hangs loose when put away.

The info booklet is not in English, so you have to use the images only. It's in EVERY other language. It takes longer then expected to warm up but it's great at ironing all materials. I went from cotton to wool to silk and there were no issues. It's larger then expected but that means you iron more material in one stop pass. The cable is a good length, unlike any previous iron. A good weight, so that helps remove creases. It currently costs £5 less than I paid a week before, and the price I paid was best on the Internet at that time. I do HIGHLY recommend it. Hopefully it'll last a long time, thanks to the long guarantee. I now don't dread ironing.

PLEASE READ THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS BEFORE PURCHASING. Bought this last year to replace yet another failing 'steam-generator' model. It worked OK. By OK I mean it was average. It worked, I guess, as in it ironed stuff. It also spat out water (and limescale) regularly - EVEN AFTER DESCALING (using the built-in descaling feature). Then, after about 8 months, it just stopped working. It won't heat up. At all. Contacted Amazon who are sending it for repair. I doubt that this will help much, as I've seen too many comments where the failure was deemed to be 'mis-use' and therefore not covered under warranty - so we'll see how that goes..... In summary, it's barely fit for purpose - and it's not a budget buy either!!**UPDATE** The iron was repaired under warranty - however when it was returned, the box was badly damaged and the iron went POP and tripped our entire house electrics on FIRST USE AFTER REPAIR. AVOID.

This might seem expensive for an iron but trust me it knocks all irons out the window. It’s amazing how it changes temperatures for the different garments each time. Wish I’d have bought it ages ago ironing time cut down it fabulous

This iron can be heavy after using for a while but that's good for some, it makes ironing easier and for 2 adults and 2 kids its great. We don't iron everything but this gets through it in no time. The steam is really powerful and auto temperature seems to work fine (and quick heat up).As the steam system is onboard unlike my old one which was a tank separate this drinks water but the top up hole is large and no bother to fill with water. It also was the filter in the base so should not need distilled water. I did hardcore research for an iron and been very happy with this purchase.

I like the look and build quality of this iron. It irons well, but takes a little while to heat up. It’s also fairly heavy, which is ok if you’re using as an iron, but if you steaming an item vertically it’s heavy. My partner struggles a little when she’s steaming one of her expensive dresses on a hanger. But for shirts, jeans etc it’s brilliant on an ironing board. The most annoying thing about this iron is the inability to wind up the cord on the iron. It’s been poorly designed from that perspective. There is also a lack of settings. It is meant to be a “smart” iron, but God knows what that really translates to - just marketing BS from my perspective. However it does the job I require, but if I had my choice again I’d probably consider alternatives.
