I loved that it didn't take a long time to iron 1 shirt, compared to others I've used in the past. The GlideLite name says it all. It glides so smoothly across the fabric. It's very light weight and easy to hold. My hand or arm didn't tire during the time I used it. It only took 30 seconds to heat up. I like that it shows a blue light blinking to show that it's eating up. Way faster than others.
