This is a lightweight iron that works well as a standard iron.  Because I hate to iron, I was more interested in the steamer part to the iron.  It doesn't get all the wrinkles out like ironing does, but it does make clothes look much better than not ironing at all.  Expect to refill the water often if using it as the steamer.  I find I am wearing clothes that need to be ironed more often with this little gem. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
