Delivery
The steam generator is therefore in a quite large package, after all, he is also compared to a normal iron very bulky and large. Good solution is that the whole device can be facilitated trasnportieren as a unit. The actual iron is connected by a clamp fixed to the unit. Even the power cord is to save space in a compartment in the floor and the steam cord can be wound laterally.
Commissioning
First, the operation was not intuitive for me, I needed the manual. It consists of 116 pages with no fewer than 23 languages. On one half page a picture with a loud figures is shown schematically. The numbers are then provided later in the text in a table with a concept.
In actual description text is then but not further referred to the number but it is working with symbols. In particular, the steam symbol there are very similar-looking 5 times on the device that has partially rather irritates me.
The order of description is very unhappy. For example, as described all pouring water (which is very easy) and then there is, I will turn on the device. OK no problem. However, shortly afterwards there is a separate section on and since then is that I have to solve the Klemen that should fix When adding water before and I have now turned without solving. Not a big deal but it is described in unfortunate sequence. The operation of the steam intensity selection is also a bit unfortunate because I simply stands to press the steam button to select, but in the beginning I knew immediately what that all look very similar. After a gimmick me 3 symbols was also clear that pose no buttons but only indicator lights.
Everything is not really complicated, but the instructions could be really better structured and illustrations at the text would facilitate even more. Nevertheless, one has then learned the basic operation quickly.
Ironing
The reach of the iron has been designed for determined by the Dampkabel from Dampfgerenator. On my board I can not leave as usual. So I had to organize differently and with me the generator is on a table next to it and I can then iron on the ironing board. The range is more limited than I know the normal iron with power cable, but certainly still quite possible.
The iron itself is much lighter than comparable iron as the entire water supply is so accommodated in the generator and the vapor is transported by cable to the iron. On iron itself can only set the iron temperature and the steam on and off. The steam strength you have to first select the generator.
The smallest adjustment was perfectly adequate to me. The two more powerful settings all evaporated really badly, that's probably advisable eg for steaming of hanging laundry. However, I have seen so any experience or needs. I iron Mainly my business shirts and that's with the Iron very possible. The iron slides easily and the ironing results when you are setting the steam also fast well.
Something hakelig the switch on the iron to turn on or off the steam. By pressing down steam is turned on, with a small slide can be the permanent lock. It is this small slide is more than tricky. Both the permanent locking unlock as well as the need in some cases several attempts and I can not help thinking that this switch at some point is the first part, the defect is the impression. From the appearance of her that's just too cheap and too vulnerable.
The produced steam quantity is enormous even in very small setting. This meant that I had to be careful when you turn that I did not have the other hand near the exiting vapor. Previously, I had to fix my habit a shirt with this hand and then to iron. But the hot steam also extends laterally partially several centimeters and my thumb was repeatedly übernebelt hot steam. And the steam is really very hot. You have to be very careful.
Conclusion
Very good ironing results. Very light fast ironing possible with plenty of power. Light deductions I give for a bit confusing written and loveless manual and especially the hakeligen steam on-off switch. I hesitate whether the 1- or 2 stars are deducted. Decide now first for 1 star deduction.
