But yet again, it isn’t easy to see the water level and for really entrenched creases, we think other irons are
superior.

This is a good mid-range iron that heats up quickly and makes light work of laundry piles, even the screwed
up garments that live at the bottom of your laundry basket because you just can’t face them. The thin-ish
soleplate and precision tip mean the likes of buttons and pleats are relatively easy to tackle and the water
tank is easy to fill, with a good anti-calc system. The handle is ergonomic, the iron is well balanced and it’s
not too heavy either, although we don’t like the way the cable comes out of the top as it can get in the way.
