Very expensive Iron with very little to offer, too much plastic, cannot see to fill water tank due to tint of plastic, gone back to a 3m cord (too long, trip hazard). After 33 years of Philips Iron's and no other make, this is the worst it is expensive cheap tack.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Performance is amazing, has sped up my ironing time which is exactly what I would class as my number one priority! There is a problem I found though so I'll report my findings. The materials used for the water tank I found to be too opaque. I Found it difficult to see when the water was near the max line. This was made worse by there being no water jug. This means you have to hold it under the tap away from eye line. I also found it leaked from the bottom left hole of the iron plate? Might have been the overflow from the over filling though? Bottom left of the attached picture.
