This is a good iron and it has a steamer feature that could be useful for small steaming tasks. It is simple and straightforward to use but came with easy instructions. I also like that the packaging was 100% recyclable, no Styrofoam. It is easy to add water to the steamer and has a good cap that closes to prevent spillage. The cord is long, it is 8 feet long and swivels out of the way of the handle so the iron stays put when you stand it up. The iron surface has a nonstick coating and glides over fabric. The steam iron on this does a really great job but I am not sure I will use it as a steamer very often
