I hate ironing, it's my nightmare! Getting out the ironing board just to iron one shirt is too much work and not quick. This steamer not only looks elegant, I really like the design, it heats up quickly and is very effective. I ironed all the curtains and it took literally a moment, I will never go back to the old method. There are additional attachments for different fabrics. Ironing bed sheets is now incredibly easy, simple, and fast. It's not the lightest, but it's sturdy. The cord is long which is very helpful. When I iron curtains, the steam itself does a good job, you don't need to press hard to see results, when I use steam on blouses, I usually hang them on the door and lightly press here. Pouring water is convenient, I use a special container for the iron which makes the task easier. The water tank is quite large so you don't have to refill it too often.
