I don't think I've ever owned a heated appliance that heats as quickly as this one! This is a really important feature to me since I usually iron or steam the morning I plan to wear the clothes. I love that the steamer is included. It's great for smaller areas that don't need to be completely ironed, like pockets or collars. I used it on the yellow dress in the photos for the drawstring. I wear mostly business casual clothes as a teacher and this has made them all look more professional. Anything 2 in 1 is a win-win since I don't have a lot of storage space.
