irons difficult items

"pro's: irons difficult items easily 50g min steam solid feel and long cable con's: does drip a little water on clothes sometimes when ironing rather bulky but i guess with 3050w this is to be expected to refill the tank with water is a little annoying due to the position of the water intake valvle makes quite a bit of noise when ironing overall impressed with it i don't mind the occasional water drip and for £50 would recommend it"
