I was skeptical because of some negative reviews but I took a chance based on the majority of positive reviews. I really am happy with the iron. It does not drip when I have waited until the temperature level I selected was reached. It did drip once when I did not wait until hearing the beep which indicates the temperature level was reached. There after, it didn't leak at all. Press the steam button for a burst of steam and it was great and no, it did not rush up over the iron onto my hand.
The iron glided well.
The iron appears heavy when you take it out of the box but while ironing, it did not feel heavy at all.
Cons:
So far the only negatives are:
The water hole is too small so you must poor with either precision or slowly, otherwise it will spill on the sides, but I do like that it comes with the watering container.
The dial to select steam, less steam, or no steam is in a poor location. As I iron I can't help from touch that dial so the dial moves a little while ironing. When I made an effort to avoid it, it was not a problem but when I put the iron down and then reused it I would forget about the dial and I would hit it again.
You must poor the water in the flat position because of the way the water reservoir lid opens. If you try pouring water while in the vertical position, it will spill over.
Regardless of the cons, overall I really am satisfied with this iron. My cons were not significant bummers for me. I give it a 5 star.

First Timer Finds It Adequate
Firstly, I've never really ironed before and had no idea whether or not this would be a good product. I relied heavily on the reviews and the items great, many features when considering this purchase.I've only used the iron a few times, and as it's my first one and time ironing, I can't attest to the performance compared to other irons. The operating instructions supplied with the iron satisfactorily explained how to set up and configure the iron with one (1) exception. The instructions did not address how to rotate the Variable Steam Control Dial, instead only stating "Move the Variable Steam Control Dial to the maximum position" in the "Before First Use" section. Trying to figure out how to rotate the dial was annoying because the instructions didn't address how to rotate it, and the outer edge of the dial, coated in a very slippery plastic frustrated me as I kept trying to rotate the dial without success. Ultimately, I figured it out after several attempts of trial and error the dial has a safety mechanism similar to a childproof safety cap on a medicine bottle. Push the dial in (around the 6 o'clock position) and then rotate counter clockwise to turn the steam on. Rotating the dial clockwise to the descaling position didn't seem to require pressing the dial in, but then again you have to hold the dial at this position to descale the steam chamber.The control buttons, LCD display and audible alerts make using the iron simple. The iron works as expected; it removes wrinkles from clothes. As long as this iron doesn't fail anytime in the near future, it'll be a great product.One performance criticism: the iron has dribbled a bit of water on lower temperature settings (e.g. 5) when using the burst of steam function, however it doesn't dribble water at higher temperature settings. I don't know if this is typical of all irons, but I know if the temperature is too low to create steam then you're not going to get steam -- I imagine this temperature setting is not high enough to consistently get steam.
