This iron is top notch compared to others I have used. Even though it is a little heavy, it performs beyond my expectations! I would buy this again and again! It is so smooth, and the smart technology that adjusts the temperature based on the fabric is amazing. I cant even tell you how much I love not having to worry about burning my fabrics and clothing! Before participating, I had no idea the rowenta brand even existed, and boy was I ever missing out! I love the fact that I can steam my clothes and iron them with the same machine! It glides so easily on my clothing, I just cant say enough how much I love this! I have already recommended this to my friends and co-workers!
