My iron came in time to finish up our closet clean-out project.  We had materials ranging from silk to heavy weight denim.  I was very, very pleased with the overall
light weight both with and without water.  The handle was comfortable in both positions (upright steam and on the ironing board).  These two features are important to me because i have low grip strength in my hands.  The steam spray pattern was excellent and covered areas well.  The little bit of sputter spray when the water gets low has been common to every steam-iron i have owned.  Temp-controls seemed accurately labeled, no smoking fabric or burning smell occurred.  So far no sticky build-up on the face plate after doing over 75 garments.  I do like this iron and have high hopes it will lastss as long as my previous one.
