Yes sometimes we men have to soyions board and it is not always what there is of easier since we lack experience. So I tried to use our steam plant (under the guidance of my wife) with the result a total fiasco: too heavy wire that wraps around the base ... etc .... I then tried ironing with a steam iron cheap and I must say that the result was no more encouraging: water flows through the holes and the steam flow rate is low if not non-existent. So I decided to buy it and there Calor revelation: it is actually not very difficult to iron well with a good iron. The Calor easily fills quickly heats, really slides alone, steam flow is excellent and smooth even the most rumpled fabrics is within range. It arises easily, is stable and the icing on the cake: if after 8 minutes you have not used, power turns off automatically. Only small problem for completeness: the diode to see if the iron is ready to use or not is very low and it is difficult to see if it is on or not. In the end, my central and my cheap steam iron to advantageously replaced by Calor trash. So I can only recommend the purchase of this excellent unit sold on Amazon at a price more reasonable.
