I ordered the iron from a pure necessity, as said station up her mind and I wanted to let me know first of all what it is so excessively new station. Initially, the steam iron was still okay, but soon afterwards (after about 3 weeks, each with 2 - 3 hours ironing time) it started to drop and still later (after about one and a half months), it was no longer really hot. In that regard, I would not buy it and can not recommend it too.
