The Breville DiamondXpress VIN401 is a 3100 W steam iron listed at £39.99, rated 4.4 out of 5 from 7,199 ratings, and it takes fourth place in this guide. Its finding is a quiet one: two other irons here name one wattage in the title and then quote a different one in their own bullets, while the Breville's 3100 W turns up three times — in the product title, in the style field ('3100 W') and in the spec table as 3100 watts — and no bullet in the listing contradicts it.

The steam claim needs reading carefully. The 200 g figure in the title and first bullets is a steam shot, a burst for stubborn creases, not a continuous output, so it cannot be set against the 70 g/min continuous figure quoted elsewhere in this guide. The rest of the listing gives a 400 ml easy-fill tank, a 1.6 kg weight, a 3 m cord and a 12-month warranty — while the spec table's 'Special Features' field says only 'Temperature Control', noticeably less than the automatic shut-off, anti-drip, anti-scale and self-clean features claimed in the bullets. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing as it stands, not from any test we ran.

## Questions people ask

**How much power does the Breville DiamondXpress VIN401 use?**

The listing states 3100 watts, and the same 3100 W figure appears in the product title and in the style field. No bullet point quotes a different wattage.

**Is the 200 g figure a continuous steam output?**

No. The Breville DiamondXpress listing describes 200 g as a steam shot — a burst of steam for tough creases. No continuous g/min figure is given for this iron, so it cannot be compared with the 70 g/min continuous claim made by another iron in this guide.

**How big is the water tank and what is the soleplate?**

400 ml, described as an easy-fill tank. The soleplate is described as super-wide, multi-directional diamond ceramic, with central steam channels and a precision tip.

**What safety and maintenance features are listed?**

The bullets claim automatic shut-off, anti-scale, anti-drip and self-clean, plus vertical steam and a 3 m power cord. The spec table's 'Special Features' field lists only temperature control, which is a much shorter list.

**What warranty and country of origin are stated?**

The specification gives a 12-month warranty and names the United Kingdom as the country of origin. The model year is listed as 2017.

**What do the 7,199 ratings break down to?**

4.4 out of 5. Of the ratings shown, 70 per cent are five-star, 16 per cent four-star, 6 per cent three-star, 2 per cent two-star and 6 per cent one-star.
