I had doubts about these but it really surprised me. The material is of very good quality and the design I loved. It's smaller than I imagined but it's enough for you to iron a couple of clothes and unlike traditional irons you don't have to wait for it to cool down to store them. Personally I don't love to use irons, I feel like I'm burning, or I'm burning my clothes, this steam iron doesn't scare me, I use it all the time.
