I bought this iron a month ago, and I even used the installment program with tbi through Skroutz (I prefer buying through Skroutz because it provides a reliable guarantee for online purchases, ensuring that any issues will be resolved quickly and easily). Clearly, the models available in Greece are outdated technology, and it shows when the only thing that is more advanced is the water tank capacity and a filter for salts. Someone might argue that I am exaggerating because the steam quantity is greater... but they are clearly fooling us because the steam system is problematic: it leaves stains on the fabric that resemble rust (see the photos) and, of course, it gets wet from the supposedly large amount of steam (ridiculous). I have had it for a month and have used it no more than five times, and the steam stopped working after the first three uses, without me doing anything wrong since I read the instructions thoroughly, used only demineralized water, and even tried a borrowed iron to understand how it works. In fact, that iron, which is over 10 years old, also didn't produce steam, so I assumed it was due to its age... A search abroad will show you the irons available there. No comparison... it's like they are selling us stock from the 90s. The next option in Greece is from a Swiss company, but it costs 200-250 € more, even on sale! I give it two stars because the ironing itself is quite effective, but without steam. If you look without the fabric, the steam comes out from two holes in that central metal piece with the black screw, as you can see... it's nothing like what we would want... meaning a wider distribution on the ironing surface. Irons are very convenient devices, especially for children's and baby clothes, which is why I bought it. However, here in Greece, I feel that if you don't pay by selling one of your kidneys for an iron... let's say 700€, you won't have an iron! That's why, even though I contacted Skroutz for a return, I won't do it because I can't afford something more expensive, and I'll stick with this faulty product that still irons satisfactorily, albeit without steam. Even if they repaired it or sent me a new one, the steam, as it currently comes out, doesn't satisfy me. In the more expensive models of the other company, the steam comes out from multiple points on the top plate, similar to irons. That's why people don't buy irons in Greece because they simply offer outdated technology at not a good price. I paid around 280€ with shipping. In one word... disappointment!
