How it works and what it is for
The base unit heats the water and supplies pressurised steam to the iron through the connecting hose.

The appliance does not use a battery.

Fill the tank only with tap water or distilled water and use an appropriate mixture in hard-water areas.

Objective final opinion

Its features are suitable for medium to large ironing loads, although the base requires additional storage space and the limescale filter needs regular maintenance.
