I bought the device as a replacement for a defective generator iron from Delonghi. At first I was a bit skeptical regarding the touch operation. This works very good though. The steam generator is fast heated, the work can begin quickly. The iron is lightweight and fits comfortably in your hand. The automatic temperature and amount of steam is quite reliable, but sometimes a little slow. Therefore, I use rather the manual settings. Water can be refilled easily and does not necessarily consist of distilled water. The cleaning is made easy. Other convenient features include the compartment for the connection cable and the possibility that iron to fix on the steam generator.
