I have a Euro Steam. iron. It is in for repairs at the moment. Partially my fault. The water needs to be drained if you are not going to use it, as the tank is aluminum and the water will eat it out. Also the new instruction manual says to use tap water, not distilled water. I really love the iron and can't wait to get it back. Nice steam and it steams all the way through so less or not ironing on the back side. I have left it sit flat on the ironing board and it will not burn.
