The iron is great. I have a heavy linen shirt which I had folded and placed in a bag to give away because no matter how much heat or steam I used, it never looked completely ironed. This iron did the job none of my other irons could do. Fantastic!! However, I gave it 4 stars because the steamer is satisfactory. I tested it on several different pieces of clothing and types of materials. It does not take deep creases or wrinkles out completely. If you just need to refresh your clothes, it's fine. Also, it gets rather heavy when holding it to steam. 
Does have a nice long cord, heats up quick and stays hot. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
