so far I am liking this little iron. Everything is working as it should. I use it for piecework when making quilts. I love the fact that it is on the smaller side and the cord is in the center aand can swivel in either direction which is great for a left-hander like myself. The steam is pretty powerful for a small iron and holds a good amount of water, mutch better then a travel iron but not much larger.  I have not had it long enough to mention longevity but time will tell. I would definitely recommend this iron to anyone that uses an iron for sewing projects.
