The cable is attached flexible top and can move up and down on the handle, so you can turn it off easily with one hand while ironing, without having the cable under the footprint.
The soleplate soon reaches operating temperature, indicating the small lamp. For me as a really little-Büglerin that's great, so I can judge things quickly, iron and put everything back.
The ironing service itself is absolutely fine. You can adjust the temperature, in addition spraying (front) that produce a single shot of steam, or adjust the amount of steam, which is released when ironing the whole time.
The self-cleaning function is to me still somewhat suspect, since this much water came through the holes in the ground (which is yet to come out, but I did not think that the entire tank passes through). But Here come all the white pieces (I suspect lime) from the iron, because you are then happy if they are outside. Next time I will, however, this feature similar over bath use, does not have just one Handtüchlein.
The iron can I recommend to anyone who, like me, rarely ironed and wants then also goes quickly. Whether more ironing now an iron with more features or performance would be better, I can not say. For our men 2-person household that is of Rowenta just great.

My ironing board to combine the Leifheit Classic M Plus (Color Line). These can be the iron reins out perfectly contrary to many reviews of the table if you want to leave it in safe for a "long time". In addition, this has an outlet, thus, the short power cable may be compensated for and a type of antenna for securing the cable.
