I cannot iron shirts. I have tried and tried, but just can't get all the wrinkles out with a traditional iron. I used to give shirts to my mother to iron. She actually LIKES ironing, but she's getting older and ironing isn't as easy for her anymore. 

I tried this steamer for the first time last night on one of my husband's shirts. The steamer worked well and got all of the wrinkles out. It took a while, but it was my first time using the steamer, so I'm sure things will go more quickly with practice on technique. It is very easy to use, was simple to assemble, and collapses for storage. I like that I can hang the garment on the steamer.

One thing I would like, which I don't think the steamer has, is a warning light that indicates that the water level is getting low. 

All in all I really like the stand up steamer!
