Comment:
Must used filtered or distilled water, or empty the water after usage. Water that is not from a well will definitely cause problems. Otherwise, this is the best iron you can have.

Comment:
I purchased this iron base on CR recommendation also. I use it on a daily basis. It leaks nasty water deposits on my clothes and the teflon soleplate is stained and I can't get it clean. I am throwing it out and buying a different brand of iron.
