This iron is well designed, with all the useful features for a steam iron. I find it all so the default the buttons are a bit less accessible than those of my steam iron Philips 3000 series (which is becoming a bit cheaper on amazon), and therefore it is a little less convenient. The only advantage of this iron is that it stops automatically after a few minutes if you do not use it. It is therefore an interesting security. In practice, I still prefer to use my old iron (dating from 2011).
