Central powerful steam iron glides very well and is ultimately more practical than a professional-type iron (what I had there) because there are more holes for the steam so it works faster and iron can handle back and forth or side without problem. The iron binding system on the center is top notch ... especially for me as a clumsy and which have already brought down two irons by moving the center (they do not like in general !!!) In addition, with the fastening system, you can easily transport the really central. The reservoir is really great, a lot of autonomy. Anyway you can always put water on the way provided unplug the machine and then restart with the button provided for that. I have still not had to do it. There is no on / off switch. Hence the need to disconnect water to hand but I, I plugged into a power strip with switch and voila! There is no possibility of adjusting the flow of steam as the central I had previously but eventually it will use to me since I always leave the button in the same place and not even ... it max suddenly useless to buy a powerful central. There at least is used thoroughly. Ultimately, I am very happy with my purchase. I expect to see longevity.
