Hello There, I bought about 1.5 years ago the iron, because a Dampfbügelstation unfortunately seemed prohibitive. When I unpacked it, I thought oh god that's heavy and wanted to send it back again almost, but thanks to the testing period I keep it yet. I filled a cup with the supplied tap water because this device has a Descaling need no more distilled water. After about 1-2 minutes. the device is ready and you can get going. I bow very many T-shirts and shirts of my husband and this is the perfect iron. It glides through his initially bemängeltes from me weight wonderfully over the laundry. The sole is super slippery and nothing gets stuck in it. For thick cotton t-shirts, linen and linen things I gladly ago ionization. Thus, it goes much faster and I have everything ironed only from one side, and spare me the umdreherei. When steam is to be noted that it only works properly from 2 points Hitzegrad because the heat of the sole is too low before. By Super sole and the top of the sole, to iron shirts and t-shirts as if by itself. That makes iron almost fun ^^. The decalcified works very simply and CA should be done once a month. For this purpose, the permanent steam to zero, fill up with water and let iron heat up at the highest level. Once it is no longer illuminated, pull the plug out of the socket and press over the sink on the side of the unit Entkalkungsknopf until no more steam kommt.Durch the pressure of lime is catapulted to the water in the sink and you have 2 minutes to work, rest again for a month. Anderst than the other iron where the rods must be inserted in Entkalker overnight. Because that's much quicker. I can really recommend the iron, my husband calls it my Porsche, because he is as fast as the car, he even ironed it, a real success. The iron is similarly powerful as a steam station and has a very large amount of steam, even when vertical evaporation of curtains or jackets makes the steam great services. I never thought that such a steam iron can produce such a steam without pressure chamber. But it is possible and it works great. I can only empfehelen a purchase.
