This Durathon steam iron heats up super quick! The controls are easy to learn and use. I find that the iron steams wrinkles from my clothing quickly and efficiently. The weight of the iron is on the lightweight side and is easy to hold in my petite hands. I like that this iron is doesn't drip water and that the nonstick coating glides smoothly over a variety of textiles. The water tank is on the smaller side, but I don't iron many items at once. Overall, this is a great option for a steam iron.
