So, let me preface this by saying that I am not savvy with an iron, I am kind of a novice at the whole ironing thing. I was kind of excited to get the Black and Decker Light 'N Easy Iron as my iron is literally from 1990. I was surprised at how light weight it was and I love the color! I had to do some ironing of a few dress shirts as well as some iron-on Girl Scout patches. This iron work ridiculously well! It glides so nicely over each item, leaving it crisp and wrinkle free. It even did a fabulous job on the patches! The Black and Decker Light 'N Easy Compact Steam Iron surpassed my expectations and actually made me want to do more ironing, who knew!
