I have been pleasantly surprised in both respects. The compressor noise I feel neither too loud, nor unpleasant. So full all-clear!
The operation is very simple. The steam tube is relatively long, so you not only on but also off under board, the station. The manufacturer has managed to devote himself to those customers who do not want to deal with complicated settings themselves. After a short warm-up time of less than 3 minutes, the station is already ready. To choose are ** for sensitive and synthetic textiles or *** for wool and silk. For cotton clothing you put the iron still only the supplied Softpressing sole on which prevents the iron sticks to the garment. Have steam of about 1 liter water tank that can be refilled right in the operation provides. An acoustic and a visual signal know indicates a low water level.
I especially like the function of clothing to be able to smooth out hanging on the wall unit with steam shocks. Does not well with cotton shirts. But is also so in easy to understand manual.
As a whole I am very satisfied with the ironing results.
The iron itself weighs about one kilo and is extremely handy.
On top of that the station is very handy in your entire design as it does not grow in width but only in height. The big handle is placed optimally and makes a robust impression. In the totality of the complete station weighs about 5.5 kg. Very acceptable.
If left unused station and thus the iron after 10 minutes turns off automatically.
Optically very appealing original design. Like it a lot!
My Conclusion:
Original and practical design, meets simple operability and good technique.
I'm thrilled and would not easily give up this Swiss precision tool.
