Pros and cons

According to our iron expert
  • The steam burst of 360g/m quickly deals with stubborn wrinkles.
  • The temperature and steam settings are automatically adjusted, so you can iron different types of fabric back-to-back.
  • Steam even reaches the point of the soleplate, which is especially useful when you iron dress shirts.
  • You can refill the water tank while in use, but you'll have to wait for the water to warm up again.
  • Note: a steam generator doesn't fit on a regular ironing board.

If you like a smooth ironed wash, don't buy it.

  • Easy to maintain
  • You don't have to set a temperature, this can also be a minus
  • Indicates when it needs to be descaled
  • Does not smooth out

Iron does not get hot enough to iron properly. When you want to give a steam boost, it leaks water. Is doable for ironing shirts, but not for cotton and linen.
