For device: Now for Tefal GV8960 ironing station: At first I was on the weight and size of the boxes delivered really shocked, so great I had the ironing system is not expected. Something is therefore difficult ever stowing if the device is not in use. When you first turn occurred a rather unpleasant chemical smell, but which is now gone. According to operating instructions completely "normal", but in my opinion not nice!
For ironing: You can fill in the station management or distilled water in the tank, selects found within various programs such as jeans or fine and away you go, the iron is ready for use within minutes. The ironing result is really great, everything is smooth within a much shorter time and the preset programs are also really suitable ... especially great for me because I had always been here to fight with my old irons with problems. Bit unwieldy, the huge part is however already, you can not simply place it on the ironing board and the water hose between station and iron limited the range of motion but rather EIM. But is also somewhat habituation thing, I think!
Disadvantages: The aforementioned unpleasant odor and the size and the weight of the ironing station to bring a star deduction. Another drawback (bother me personally but rather not), the problem is that the decalcification not seem to work properly. It has often times little chunks on the clothes, but can be shaken off without problems. Pity! I have therefore used the other temples only distilled water and was satisfied.
Conclusion: A little pricey, but by convincing performance ironing! Small hood for size and bulkiness of the device.
