We bought this iron after the cheapest Scarlett. The difference in favor of Braun is colossal. Yes, it costs a little more, but it is much more pleasant to use it. I have had it for almost 1.5 years, I use it regularly, but I have never had to clean it or use a pencil for the sole. It is also very convenient to pour water into it, the tank itself is huge when compared with other irons. In general, the purchase is very satisfied, I can safely advise. Who writes that it sticks - you need to learn how to use the steam supply. Then you won't ruin your clothes.
