My old iron broke and at very short notice (late on a Monday evening) this is all I could get in Tescos. This iron has no temperature control which makes me wary of putting it anywhere near delicate fabrics. I tried to iron a basic skirt which would usually take a couple of minutes with my old iron. Sadly it took over 10 minutes to iron as had to do inside and out twice just to get the creases out and I can still see a few! I’m not a fan of steaming as water always gets left in tank and eventually comes out as brown water. If you don’t do a lot of ironing or you’re a newbie then I guess it’s passable but if like me, you like your stuff freshly pressed, get a proper iron and don’t waste your money on this!
