" ... Difficult to see water level in tank. ... "
" ... And what's more it appears to be leaking into the back compartment when on the heel (which I suspect houses the electronics). ... "
" ... All returned for cheap construction. ... "
" ... I've used it for a handful of sewing projects, maybe 12 times and already it's worthless (can't steam bc water goes everywhere). ... "
" ... I cannot believe that an iron this expensive is this poorly made. ... "
" ... It constantly leaks water. ... "
" ... One tank of water barely irons 4 men’s dress shirts . ... 2nd of water just barely irons 2 pairs of men’s khakis. ... "
" ... However, filling the water tank is a bit awkward in that the iron has to be on an angle and even then, it can overflow. ... "

" ... Today I turned the iron on since the sweater I wanted to wear needed to be pressed. ... "

" ... By the end of February, it was making a loud noise when plugged up, a loud hum that just didnt sound right. ... "
" ... No matter if you turn it off yourself or it goes to auto-off, it will either flash a light nonstop or make clicking noises. ... "
" ... First there was a high pitch sound coming out of the iron it stopped and the light was no longer flashing, I put the iron on the sleeve of the garment and it grabbed . ... "
" ... It won’t heat up and makes a clicking sound. ... "
" ... It also makes a horrible high pitched noise the entire time it's plugged in, so if you are sensitive to electronic noises this will be a nightmare. ... "
" ... This iron is also bulky in an odd way and loud when heating up. ... "
" ... I bought this iron after 3weeks it started to click and make a clicking noise then it will not auto shut off I have to unplug it because the safety ship off do not work this iron should last longer then 1 month for $90:00 dollars ... "
" ... The new iron heated up nicely but produces a very erratic and noisy clicking sound that sounds like an electric short. ... This alarming sound is not good. ... "
