As soon as I opened the box, I was in love! I know, who gets excited over a clothes iron, right? This iron has a very steampunk esk look to it. I love that it has the steam function. Using that always seems to put a better press to the fabric. You can also use this iron to steam your curtains while they ate still hanging. No more wrinkly curtains! This would also be good for dresses that can't be pressed. Just use tje steam.
