Pros & Cons
Pros
Easily lasts one set of ironing for me.
Despite not being cordless it's very easy to use. The cable length is really exceptional. The cord is a generous 3 metres long.

Basically it gets too hot on the max setting and boils the bejesus out of the water… which results in lots of popping and hissing

Theres a third setting which is higher powered steam but this only works if the lever is pushed and held to the right presumably as its only likely to be intermittently required
