I am writing this review to tell you how brilliant i find this iron. Of the jobs i do in the house the ironing is the one i really hated, until my husband treated me to this iron (a treat of a holiday would have been nicer for the price, but at least now I don't mind ironing the families clothes, bed sheets, etc. The cover is brilliant if you haev small children or pets that get into tinks ehwn you aren't looking, we have a 14 month baby who is in to everything and i know i can pop the cover over this and not worry she will burn herself. Only critisim is the weight of it, although if you have some where you can leave it out this won't be an issue. It has a good water tank that i can do about an hours worth of ironing. Highly recommended.
A quick edit with some useful info
cost price - £230 from a tefal discount store (bridgend south wales)
Big water tank - 850ml with a ceramic non stick plate (that only needs cleaning when either the kids do their ironing or the husband)
It is very easy to use without having to look at the instructions. apart from the first time you attach the hose to descale it.
The cord is about 1.5 meters
I keep my base unit on the floor, as other family memebers have dropped theirs when it has been left on the end of the ironing board.
