Review on πŸ”₯ Vremi 1800 Watt Steam Iron: Nonstick Ceramic Sole Plate, Auto Shut Off, Self Cleaning - Ultimate Ironing Tool by Steve Beaumont

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Dangerous design flaw or defect?

Out of the box I was impressed with the quality of this iron, had high expectations of its performance and left a 5 star rating. After 3 days of use, pros and cons listed. . .Pro: ♦ Sturdy medium weight (not light but not too heavy). ♦ Simple and clear functions. ♦ Extra large water tank (shortens the filling time) ♦ 1800 W ensure a high temperature (shorter ironing time). more than half)♦ Powerful burst of steam♦ Red/Green indicator - When the iron reaches the set value, the green indicator lights up steadily. If the iron gets even a little cold during ironing, it will flash red to let you know that you are not on the optimal setting. Disadvantages: ♦ Splashes occur sporadically. Continuously for 3 days, suddenly the spray button stops working and doesn't spray water. Every time the water level was normal, it means either a marriage or an iron breakdown.♦ Leaks - A lot! Like a sieve! On the 3rd day the leak became so severe that I turned it off for fear of electrocution. Water drips while ironing, but at rest it is 10 times worse. I ended up putting a large folded towel to the left of the ironing board, where I briefly set the iron down. After 1 hour of use, the towel was soaked and wet which made me fear electrocution! After turning off the iron, I held it upright and turned it slightly to the right. Water poured (yes poured!) from the lower right corner! I turned a little to the left - water poured out of the lower left corner! I'm not sure if this iron is defective or if it's an extremely serious (and dangerous) design flaw. Even with the problematic spray button, the benefits of this iron are excellent, but the leak is so bad (and dangerous) that I have no choice but to give it a 1 star rating. In the attached photo: the iron is set to Linen/Max, the water tank is less than 1/2 full and after 2 passes of the iron the fabric is covered in water stains. !
