Due to the many positive reviews I bought a few weeks ago this iron, the first impression, well, pretty hard, oh dear. Since I am a die hard fan Rowenta irons / was I of course went on troubleshooting first ironing - I found none. Great steam, I need only half the time, since I only have to iron from one side of the T-shirts and the initial grumbling about the weight was then quickly an advantage. I can only say - buy, the price is amazing if you compare it with Rowenta. My mother tried it and immediately decided on this iron.
