Disadvantages: none

...suffer from back ache), this Hinari is absolutely ideal. lt heats up very fast, so is ready to use almost by the time you have draped your first shirt over the ironing board. lt is just as powerful as the more expensive makes/models, the basic steam and spray are all that is necessary for a normal laundry load, but for those extra needs, like stubborn jeans or knife-edges on trousers, the steam shot is excellent and very effective, even through a ...

Appearance: mine is mid blue and white, quite large in size and nice and shiny and new! Comes well packaged ...
...instruction booklet in a variety of languages. ~~ CAN IT DO THE JOB? My previous iron finally pakced in when little pieces of plastic holding the water tank became wedged in the side of the tank. This caused the tank to expand slightly, and as aresult, it leaked. This shorted the fuse (13 amp), and as aresult, my fridge,kettle and radio also went off.
