The iron is for the price ok. I'm used to a steam generator iron and that is of course no comparison. The steam function works sometimes more and sometimes less, and after not too long use sometimes one sees sparks in the appliance. In addition, running out even when the steam function water. For the price, it is but as I said ok. Does more or less what it is. But do not think it will have a very long service life (but I do not expect too).
