I used this steam iron on different materials, linen, cotton and polyester. I like the convenience of ironing out wrinkles while the clothes are still on the hanger. I found polyester was the best , cotton was second and linen wasn't that good. For clothes that are already ironed this is a good product, to iron out the last minute wrinkles. The button to hold the steam automatically without keeping the finger on the steamer is a nice addition. What I don't like is the water container is too small, it needs to be plugged in and to change to a different head you wait for it to cool and is a bit bulky to carry in a suitcase. Overall I would recommend it to someone who just needs to get the wrinkles out.
