This iron is extremely heavy which is a minor issues compared to the rest of this review. It doesn’t iron anything well except normal cotton and even that is a poor iron quality compared to my last iron. It takes ages to heat up before being ready to use. It takes about four times longer to iron anything. You have to keep constantly pressing the steam button to get any steam. As the iron is so heavy you have to hang onto the handle to put it in a upright position on the ironing board and this switches it into eco mode and on that mode it really doesn’t achieve anything on any material! cheaper iron with a temperature setting you can actually control!
