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:)

Brilliant. Replaced my Philips steam generator iron and glad I did. Easier to clean in a hard water area.

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

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.

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.

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.

Great quality

The best iron I ever have
