We have had this iron nearly a year now, and are still very happy with it. It irons well with minimal effort – you have to remember not to press hard on what you are ironing if you are used to a non-steam iron. With an initial fill of water it lasts long enough for four very large men’s shirts if you use the steam function continuously (about 20 minutes). Even when you refill it, the iron is almost instantly (in about 10 seconds) ready to go again.
My minor quibbles relate to the situation where the generator is positioned on the floor rather than on the ironing board.
First, this I do not believe is limited to this iron, the steam coming out of the iron seems to gradually weaken. This is only understandable given it has to come up the length of the cord, but would have been nice if steam power was consistent throughout the ironing process. Prior to changing the ironing board to Brabantia 110×30 Green Spring Ironing Board, we had a larger board that accommodated the generator and had never had this weakening steam problem. However, it still has enough power to iron well.
Second, the calc cleaning knob easily catches the cord connecting the iron with the generator while ironing. It can get annoying, but after some experiments I can now avoid the problem by strategically placing it under the ironing board.
As I said above, these two issues are minor and do not, in my view, warrant being dismissed from consideration for purchase.
Cleaning is easy, though I did not do it until very recently when some brown mess came out of the iron. Serves me right for not cleaning it more often!
All in all, it is a very reliable product and I would recommend it to anyone.

I purchased this item about three months ago after my 30 year old Black and Decker finally passed on. My primary use is for sewing applications and I purchased it because it was on sale and seemed like it had quite a few features for the price point. I had researched Rowentas, Black and Deckers and everything in between and I couldn’t find an iron that seemed like it was an all around great deal. I did end up settling for this one because I couldn’t justify the price of a Rowenta and the Black and Decker that is so popular wasn’t available in any store near my house. So far, I’ve been very happy with this purchase. It puts out quite a bit of steam and has a nice weight behind it. It heats up quickly and lights up green to indicate that its ready for use. I also like that one can use regular tap water in this, rather than filtered water. The cord is plenty long for my uses and never seems to get tangled. There’s also plenty of room at the base of the iron to wrap the cord around itself and it has a little clip to keep the cord in place. It also has a one year warranty. The only drawback I’ve found to this iron is that the temperature controls are on the handle and occasionally, I accidentally change the temperature setting while ironing. Its a nuisance and that’s why I dinged one star on the review. Overall, this is a great iron and I hope it gives me many years of good use.

Cast iron teapots were originally created in ancient china. They were then adopted and developed by the Japanese in the 17 century into practical as well as decorative handicraft items sold under the name of Tetsubin. The cast iron tea pots symbolize the everlasting strength and unity of the world and the more intricate are often given as gifts and kept as status symbols. Through special treatments, impurities are removed from the cast iron during the production process. A coating of misty black enamel is then applied to help prevent the formation of rust. Due to their strength of construction these pots may be used as kettles (to boil water) or as tea pots (to brew tea). Most sizes come with a stainless steel mesh infuser for brewing loose tea. If using the pot to boil water this infuser should be removed before doing so. Before using to brew tea, boil a pot of water and pour it out to prepare the pot for use. After each use, make sure that the pot is clean and dry to prevent the formation of rust. Tea should not be left in the pot overnight. In the unlikely event of rust, the pot can still be used. After cleaning the area with a soft brush, boil used teabags or tealeaves. The tannic acid from the tea will react naturally with the iron producing a coating over the area. Store your pot in a cool, dry place or put it on display. These cast iron teapots and kettles have a flat base suitable for Range style Cookers. You may want to consider buying one of our Cast Iron Trivets to match your teapot.
