I will start off by saying, I really like the exterior design of the Black and Decker Press and Steam. It is very easy to hold for use.  It has a very sleek and modern look to it. As far as functionality, it works great! I love the dual purpose use. It makes ironing a breeze! I have used it for several things, clothes of various styles and also curtains. It has worked great! The burst of steam makes getting rid of wrinkles so easy and effortless.
