I had a GV 8430 as predecessor, for one and a half years broke the thermostat. It is in many threads on the internet, which is a known disease of Tefal stations. Because even within the warranty period, the iron was promptly repaired and without discussion, it has once again done a half years best services to me. Now it's time again, unfortunately, and I'll be there to poke out of money for repairs. Another ironing system but is not an option, since I had this device there was never large baskets of ironing that were pushed for weeks.
I hope now it that the well-known words from Tefal has been corrected, and in the event that there is still nothing happened, I bought a warranty extension of 3 years. In order for this perfect for me device is retained me at least 5 years, and for 5 years, it is worth the extra money to me.
