Best iron I have ever owned. I sew and it works great in everything.  Yes, the color or the water tank is a bit dark, but i could care less. I just love the rotating cord, the steam is strong, heats fast and the stainless plate glides great! I love the shape of the tip! Fancy! I did get glue on it from stabilizer, so I need to clean it. I use it at least 4x a week.
