I got this about a week ago and couldn’t wait to try it out. It seems to be adequate as a steamer, and very good as an iron. Both modes supply adequate steam, although it takes some getting used to for use as a steamer. The soleplate has a finish on it, (not stainless) so I don’t know how well it will last. The swiveling cord is a nice touch, but it is stiff, so watch out when putting the iron down as it could tip if not careful. Overall, a nice idea that works quite well.
