Title: Cheap parts and difficult to replace
Product review: Good product overall, but the stopping gasket and the O ring (rubber part) that prevents steam from escaping are very cheaply made and broke after only 3 use. Called DeLonghi and they don't have the replacement in stock, plus it costs $3...which is a ripoff. They should have included at least several spares and carry replacements in stock - not to mention that you have to pay for shipping so it ends up being even more. Otherwise it's a good iron, but short from buying a new one, I don't know what else to do?! I guess trying to find a replacement at a hardware store (which would be easier if they at least indicated what size it is...)
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
