I was so pleasantly surprised at how much I love my XL steamer…my mother in law told me it was better & faster to just iron things, but I did research and thought I’d try the steamer because it could freshen and de-wrinkle my more delicate clothes & other things I didn’t want or couldn’t iron. Wow, not sure if the steamer she tried just wasn’t high quality, but I’m so thrilled with this one that I actually went around my house finding more things to steam - and I was supposed to be getting ready for a formal night out but couldn’t resist…I really was floored and hooked on using it wherever I could. That is my honest experience, so thanks for a really wonderful product!! I’ll never ruin things again trying to iron them when they shouldn’t be ironed. Even my new bedspread looks amazing now! And I know it’s nothing to do with the actual product, but I also really appreciate the instruction booklet being so user friendly & simple to understand. You don’t find that very often these days…
