It was a good machine as it did a very good job. But it just worked for 3.5 years then it stop heating. At a $98 (on sale) it should have last longer. Called 2 repair shops, they said the part to repair would have been the hotplate and there is no parts available. Seems to be that Braun uses closed parts that can't be open therefore the only option is to throw away the iron and get a new one. More waste.

I bought this iron just over 2 years ago and was pretty happy with it most of the time. It did leak at times if not on the hottest setting and is quite heavy but I coped. Unfortunately today the iron is not heating up. The light blinks and then nothing! I would have thought a reputable brand like Braun would last much longer than this. Very disappointed and unsure if ai would purchase again.

I'm very happy with this iron. It is a comfortable weight, the holes on the bottom cover the area to be steamed in a good way and it easily glides over fabric. It makes ironing a pleasure instead of a chore. I would recommend this iron to anyone requiring a new one.

I bought this iron a year ago and it does the job very well. Heats up fast where the cord is nice and long. I found this iron to have a good warranty and its' easy to clean which I like about it compare to other irons that aren't. Worth purchasing.

Had quite a few irons over the years, this time before I bought this one I decided to research and it came at one of the top irons to have. The iron heats up really quickly, light to use and makes ironing an easy chore. The only downside is that you need to fill up the water tank more often. Love that it comes with a textile plate for those delicate items

I use this iron occasionally and think it does a really job. It feels really well built and is quite heavy and sturdy. Just one pass over my shirts and they are done. No complaints as yet, but have only used it 3-4 times and has great sleep function when not in use.

Excellent product, easy and convenient to use. This is one of the best steam irons that i have purchased. Life is quite easy with this. The earlier one was from a local company and was not serving the purpose .

It did not get hot enough on the tip to iron into the corners of cuffs and shoulders of cotton business shirts.
When I pressed the steam it shot steam out the front instead of down burning me every time.
I tried to iron 6 shirts but it was not safe. I returned it and bought a sunbeam verve 57 platinum which is so much better.

This iron basically leaks water everywhere, totally unusable and you end up with a wet piece of clothing. I returned the iron immediately for refund after first use. I really do not expect a brand like Braun to produce such a bad quality product like this one. I do not also see an improvement of this iron from my cheaper Kambrook iron, which was given to me for free from a previous tenant.

This iron has a good number of steam outlets and substantial plate making ironing easy. It heats quickly and has additional steam surge. It's medium weight and the cord rotates at the iron end junction and can be moved so it doesn't get in the way.
There is a model which has a fine plate covering that can be attached for delicate fabrics however it looked flimsy and didn't attach well. It's also unecessary as the iron has a good range of settings

I was so disappointed with this after having read so many reviews I thought this would be a decent iron. It leaks water out of the sides and the steam holes uncontrollably, saturating the whole shirts - not usable at all. Taking me 30mins to iron one shirt and then have to go over it again to dry it out because it's saturated. It's ridiculous.

I agree on everything with other reviewers on this iron. It heats up really quickly. Temperature control is good and it glides well on the fabrics, very easy ironing and ergonomic handle. Steam controls are great, you can choose the amount of steam you need on different fabrics. It is safe with automatic switch off and long cord (2.5cm) and I hope it will be reliable, I have bought it about a month ago and it was on special for $89.00, so it is the best iron for a reasonable price. I have made a good choice, thanks to your reviews. I hope it will last for a while.

I used to have a Tefal iron and 'put up' with the spitting and staining against my better judgement. When my new one started spitting too, I took it back and purchased this one, which my mum had also recently purchased. Simply put, I LOVE it. It hasn't given me a moment of trouble. No spitting, no noises, no staining. Has all the usual controls. I'm not after some 'next generation' contraption that serves drinks, just an easy to use steam iron that sprays water, has a long cord and an auto shut off. Best $139 I've spent.
