Mixed feelings on this one. The steam output is genuinely impressive and the soleplate glides well on most fabrics. However I found the water tank a bit fiddly to refill without spilling, and the auto-off kicks in faster than I'd like when pausing between items a minor frustration during a big ironing session. The anti-drip feature works as described though and the ironing results themselves are very good. Decent iron, just not without its quirks.

Very capable iron overall. The variable steam settings give real flexibility across different fabrics  I use a lower setting for silk and synthetics and crank it up for cotton, and it handles both beautifully. The anti-drip protection and anti-calc system are features I genuinely appreciate for long-term reliability. Self-cleaning function is easy to run and keeps performance consistent. Lost half a star because it's noticeably heavier than I expected for extended ironing sessions.

The steam power on this iron is in a completely different league. The 135 g/min boost mode tears through stubborn creases on thick linen and denim in a single slow pass something my old iron couldn't manage in five. The Microsteam HD soleplate with over 400 holes distributes steam so evenly that even awkward areas like pleats and cuffs come out perfectly crisp. The high-precision metal tip is great for getting right into collars and buttonholes too.
