I love to iron. Always have. I have been ironing for my family for decades, and find it relaxing and satisfying.  I'm not an expert, but do consider myself experienced in the art of ironing. So I was not expecting this little, lightweight iron to ACTUALLY IRON! I was pleasantly surprised. Even tho it is lightweight, it has the power to take out wrinkles with a single pass. The non-stick surface allows it to glide over the fabric, and the steam is strong and covers a surprisingly large area. The steamer option is wonderful when you don't want to set up an ironing board. With the steamer option   the steam is strong and smooths out the garment easily. Take the full two minutes recommended to let the iron heat up, and you will have NO DRIPPING WATER  from the steam plate. I still love my heavy iron, but it is now my backup iron. This little, lightweight beauty is  now my "GO-TO" iron.
