Thought that nothing would ever replace my old Sunbeam after years and years of use caring for everything from towels to doll clothes to military uniforms, but this iron exceeded expectations. Very nice and heavy! I was worried it was too many bells and whistles, but it's just right. Very practical and versatile, easy to read, fun to use. The water dispenser that comes with it is very helpful, too. Laundry even goes faster because this iron can do so much, such a relief. Future products will now have to live up to this model as the acceptable standard.
