Ok, I love this thing! It heats up within a few seconds, and is super easy to tailor it to what you need it for. I used it on my curtains, and also on a felt piece to a costume. It's wonderful! I was amazed at just how easy it was to use. It holds a good amount of water, and the water resovour is very easy to remove and refill. It's made of high quality materials. The cord is a decent length. It stands up on it's own and is stable, so I don't have to worry about it falling over. Highly, highly, highly recommend!
