I loved my Shark until it started spitting and leaking. I found out it is because I used distilled water in it. I looked up all the reasons why they suggest using tap water. I'm using that now to see if it can fix itself, but will probably buy another one.
It made me wonder if so many complaining about their high end irons leaking and spitting is because they used distilled water?
It reacts differently to temperature. I had always noticed my Shark would not steam if the tank was less than 1/2 full also.
I would like to get one of those nice Olisio irons that rests on it's sole-plate but rises off the surface.
