This iron is impressive in every way 3100 Watt are an announcement, the performance is extreme. Not even some ironing stations can keep up. By design, it is an eye-catcher, makes optical head turner.
Packaging and contents:
The iron comes in a plain box, plus there is a manual and a wristwatch, no idea why, but this is just about to not even look bad.
First use and impression:
The iron has therefore a lot of extensive features, it is strongly recommended to read the manual. In my view, it is an absolute high-end iron, but it calls for a strong hand, yes I would almost say it is a Men Iron. It might be a bit too hard one way or another maybe lady. However, iron should be hard, it is in the nature of things and steam pressure or weight smooths just better than a lightweight.
Gliding
The sliding properties of the brine are very good, it is to feel a slight pleasant resistance, thus one also gets good feedback when ironing. We, the steam generator is switched on, slide the iron as if by itself, since forming a vapor cushion under the brine. So women who say that the iron is too heavy, start steam!
The tip of the brine is so well formed that one can reach even difficult places very well. My clothes since I as a man have ironed since childhood myself, I can say I've never had such a good ironing results.
The brown iron which I recently lent me by my partner, could not convince, nor the fact that Braun mainly produced in China myself. Not that China would be bad, but why you have to shift everything abroad?
Made in Germany
For me was also a reason to buy, but is not to say there are no good iron outside of Germany and Europe, I just wanted to mention here.
Water tank:
The water tank is for me more than enough, the often high water consumption here I could not find, you should after having the surface or the garment vaporised, the function off (steam generator) again. After dry ironing, finished.
Security
The shutdown is a very great invention, you are a feeling of security, the shirts thank a!
Conclusion:
The iron is very high quality, my impression, nothing rattles or looks cheap, it really is very solidly built. Buy it should be people like me have many shirts and often much ironing or men and take himself ironing and the relatively high price in purchasing. For people who rarely or give ironing everything in the cleaning, I'd rather recommend a cheaper alternative.
As I said, the price is not a bargain, but you get currently the best performance (220 mg shot of steam) which stand 04/2014 is unique.
