This is by far the easy and most portable iron I have every used. I  have to use a iron a lot because I business casual outfit I wear to work, and the most frustrating thing is ironing a shirt the hangs over the board and the iron cord continues to get caught on the shirt causing me to re position the shirt over and over again. All that is solved with this cordless model. This iron is light weight, the charge last for a long time and it really easy to sit it on the base for a quick charge if needed
