What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing gives inconsistent steam-boost figures: 260 g/min in the item highlight and feature text, but 260 g/min is also specified as a style value while another title refers only to general power. The title names a Durilium Non-Stick Soleplate, while the detailed feature text specifies Durilium Airglide. Confirm the selected FV6848 variant and its precise soleplate and boost specifications. Customer feedback also reports mixed steam and heat experiences, a short cable and water leakage, so these are useful practical points to weigh rather than confirmed defects.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- Buyers wanting a conventional steam iron with a removable scale collector and vertical-steam capability.
- People who value a listed 50 g/min continuous steam output for routine ironing and a boost option for tougher creases.
Less suited to
- Buyers who need a confirmed long power cable or want to avoid reported concerns about leakage and inconsistent steam performance.
- Anyone requiring a single, unambiguous published steam-boost figure or soleplate description without checking the selected listing.
