WHY THE PRICE IS JUSTIFIED

The money goes to a 2,800 W heater, 50 g/min continuous steam, 250 g boost, precision plate and accessible Quick Calc Release system. This is performance-led specification at a distinctly non-luxury price.

MATERIALS

Lets the owner expel collected mineral scale rather than relying only on a vague self-clean mode.

·users in moderately hard-water areas

NOT FOR

·people wanting an ultra-light iron
·very large loads better served by a steam generator

DESIGN & ERGONOMICS

A purposeful, traditional silhouette with a precision nose, balanced grip, transparent 300 ml tank and stable heel. It is less visually distinctive than Panasonic’s W-head, but controls are familiar and low-friction.

LONGEVITY

Quick Calc Release makes routine flushing practical and helps preserve output. The two-year worldwide guarantee is useful; long-term life still depends on not letting water sit in the tank.
