| High Power: 1500W is higher than standard 1000W travel units. | Weight: Can feel a bit heavy when the 350ml tank is completely full. |

Performance Tip
For the best results with the BM-529, use distilled or filtered water if you live in an area with "hard" tap water. This prevents calcium buildup in the steam vents, ensuring the 1500W heater continues to perform at its peak and doesn't "spit" white flakes onto your dark clothes.
