Dreadful residue building up on soleplate
Dirty3000 — 2 out of 5 stars
Pros: Makes very fast work of a large load of ironing, definitely faster than using a traditional steam iron. I find it lighter and more comfortable to use, and it's brilliant not having to fill it up all the time, Con: Despite the instruction that this iron is suitable for using tap water, I have found that it consistently builds up a dirty residue around two of the lower holes. At first I thought I was using too hot a setting on printed farbics, but despite constant de-scaling and being ultra careful, the residue keeps coming back after I clean the soleplate. It is now too hard to clean off fully, and has become too rough to use over delicate fabrics.
