what happens to the built-up hard water deposits in these new irons, I wonder, then? Do they just clog up in time?
In my - personal - experience... The hard water (we have it also; not _very_ hard, but...) will build up deposits in the reservoir, till you can't see how much of it is left :) But it doesn't clog up the vents too badly if you use the "burst of steam" feature regularly. At the end of your ironing session, heat up the iron to the max (whether you need it or not) making sure that some water (at least 1/4th of the container) is still left in the reservoir. Then, over a rag (reusable, if kept for only that purpose) hit the "burst" and hold it. The steam will be expelled with enough force to clean the build-up. Empty the rest of the water over a sink (careful; it's boiling hot)
