This steamer has replaced my basic iron. I love this thing! Comes with a long cord and attachments for upholstery and delicate items. I love the delicate attachment for my silk skirts. I never have to take them to a dry cleaner again! This steamer is so simple to use. I just fill it up with distilled water and blast out the wrinkles in my blazers; no need to take them off the hanger and no need to get out the ironing board. I can't wait to try it out on curtains. Will be recommending this to my friends and family.
