I got this iron about three weeks ago, it is light weight compared to other irons I've used, there is no need to put pressure on the iron it just glides across your clothes with ease. I love the steamer feature, I used it on some shirts that had a few wrinkles in it, which did not need fully ironed. I love the open handle and swivel cord features of the iron. My only dislike is the small water reservoir, I have to refill the iron a lot.
