I have 2 boys and a husband whom I'm constantly pressing pants and polo style shirts for.  I've tried several different irons which can weight quiet a bit and cause lots of strain on my shoulder.  I received this iron to review and was surprised.  It was light weight and had such steam power it was effortless!  The dial has several selections from your most delicate to your thickest fabrics.  It was extremely simple to use just by making your selection and with or without steam.  

The first item I pressed was my sons thick pants.  The crease was perfect.  The steam reached all the way through to the other side!  I love this iron and use it for other things like placing iron ons on cotton tshirts for my daughter or bags for my couponing.  It works perfectly every time!  I would definitely recommend this for anyone needing excellent pressing and a lightweight iron!
