leaks from water fill hole

Had it for about 12 months, a number of issues:1. Can't see the water level2. unreliable heating level which resulted in burnt clothes.3. made rather alarming loud noise when cooling down4. Burnt out completely while at a low settingNow looking for a...

In 46 years, living in soft water areas, this is by far and away the worst iron we have ever had. I fully support all the stories of leakage from the filler cover; difficulty in seeing the water level; and, in our case, refusal to steam on whatever...

I don't understand how this achieved a best buy status which is the reason why I bought this particular model earlier this year. It fails to function as a decent iron for the following reasons:1. As soon as I got it out of the box I realised I had made...
