I really don't like ironing, but I love the look of and wearing a nice, pressed outfit. I thought that maybe I wouldn't hate the task as much if I ditched my old school iron and got a new, modern version- and I was right! I can't/won't say I love to iron now, but this makes the task a lot quicker.
This arrived quick, neatly packed with a lot of extra goodies in a sleek looking box. There was a set of well written, easy to follow instructions included as well as a resting plate (no more worrying about the iron falling over and burning down the house!) and a filler cup so you can easily fill to use the steam feature. I was also pretty thrilled that there was a really nice, velvet drawstring bag in the box too, so you can keep everything together and hidden- not out in the open.
I say that last part because no one wants to have an iron on display in their home, like a decoration, but I have to admit- between the colors and the shape of this, it is pretty good looking!
This has a nice, long and sturdy cord that reaches the outlets without issue. It turns on and heats up really fast, like- impressively quick, doing away with waiting for the iron to heat up. It has some really impressive weight to it, which is both a nod to the overall quality and build, and it also puts more weight onto the clothes, making them press out a lot quicker. The stem feature works really well- like crazy good. I don't think I have ever seen an iron (steamer, yes. Iron, no) that puts out so much steam! And it's not a big spray of water, with huge drops rather it is a really fine, misty steam.
The size and shape are the icing on the cake. Because this isn't bulky, it's way easier to press out the wrinkles in the tough spots like sleeves, waist bands and even pleats! This does what that silly point on an old school iron can't!
I will admit that at close to $60, this is a bit pricey, but it's worth it- especially if, like me, you hate ironing. This makes it easy and literally cuts your time in half.
