Good iron
Only used once since I bought it but it 'irons'!!
Helen, 45 - 54
Ergonomic and Aesthetically Pleasing.
I spent a couple of hours reviewing dozens of irons and asking for recommendations from friends. my criteria were cost, weight and length of cord. This Breville wins hands down

Perfect replacement
Bought this last week to replace my current iron. Read a few reviews which were positive. Pleased overall with my purchase. Nice colour. Bigger sole plate making ironing quicker. Powerful steam. Light indicators clear. Good cord length. Whilst it looks bigger it’s still fairly light.
Sammy K, 45 - 54
Looks expensive
I bought this iron about 4 weeks ago and am very pleased with it I find it just glides over the clothes and good value for money

Love
I love this iron. I’ve had mine for years. Only reason I had to get a new one.. kids dropped it. Glides perfect.

Good iron
This is the third Breville VIN401 I have had over the last few years. They start off ok but then seem to to leak some water out as I am ironing and the previous two ended up with a black burn mark on the surface of the nonstick base. Why I purchase it is because it has a 3m cable and a large water tank that you can easily see which means you are not forever filling up the iron.

Easy glide
Iron looks and feels well made, although a little heavy, when ironing it glides over everything with no effort. Good length cable and also water container front opening which we prefer to a side opening . Quite pricey but seems to be a decent iron time will tell.

Hello there,
Breville VIN401 Diamond Xpress Steam Iron.
Yes, the Breville Diamond Xpress Steam Iron can be used dry.
Thanks for using Q&A
To maintain Breville VIN401 iron, you need to use the self‑clean function regularly to remove mineral deposits, wipe the exterior and soleplate with a soft damp cloth once cooled, rely on the built‑in anti‑scale filter, and always empty the water tank and let the iron cool fully before storing. If you live in a hard‑water area, you should descale more frequently to maintain performance.

Hi there!
To clean black marks from the soleplate of your Breville VIN401-01 iron, make sure the iron is unplugged and completely cool. Mix a small amount of baking soda with water to form a paste, then gently apply it onto the marks using a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid using anything abrasive, as this can damage the non-stick coating. Once clean, wipe off any residue with a damp cloth and dry the soleplate thoroughly. For lighter marks, slightly warm the iron and rub it over a damp cotton cloth sprinkled with salt. Never use harsh cleaners or sharp tools, as these can permanently damage the soleplate.

Hi Lisa!
The iron's weight is 1.63KG. If you have any other questions, please contact us via website: https://www.breville.co.uk... or via phone 0800 028 7154. We are open Monday - Friday 9am - 5pm
Hi,
There has been a change in the design. In the newer version, the holes closer to the bottom part of the soleplate have not been fully stamped on, there is no steam chamber behind it so it has the same performance when it comes to the steam function.
Hello Julie,
According to Ironsexpert UK, the cord length of the Breville VIN401 DiamondXpress Steam Iron is 3 meters. However, if you have measured the cord length and found it to be 2.5 meters, then it is possible that the product you received has a shorter cord than advertised. In this case, I would recommend contacting Customer Services - 0345 640 2020 alternately social media or live chat will help and advise you.
Thank you for using Q&A

Thanks for using Q&A
If it’s coming from the sole plate and it’s excessive there is a fault on the iron I would stop using and return it
I found it did too, if I filled it to the maximum. Try only filling half way. Very happy with mine, irons well.
If possible return to store as mine does not leak water at all.
