I don't like the added weight of a steam iron and this little beauty enables me to iron my shirts while watching the sports channel without wearing myself out. I bought one for my wife's grandmother, who is half my size, and she uses it for all her laundry. It is a smooth mover.

Heats, quickly, smooth over clothes. Don't know what long time use will be with the non stick bottom. Prefer mirror finish that can be cleaned with scourer.

I purchased this for my 92 year old aunt who has scoured the shops unsuccessfully for an 'old-fashioned iron'. She is delighted with it! It is very light, smooth and very easy to use - no gadgets that you never use, no complicated settings, just a straight-forward effective item.

All that glitters

By Dry iron fan

from Surrey, UK on 1/4/2008

Pros:

Heats Quickly, Irons Smooth, Nice long cord

Cons:

Handle angle not good, Too lightweight to press

Best Uses:

At Home

Describe Yourself:

Homemaker, Homeowner

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Used for home laundry. Heats up fine. A bit too lightweight for pressing. Handle not ergonomically friendly - have to set ironing board lower than normal but elbow and shoulder still uncomfortable due to height at heel of iron. Am getting used to it but stand by above comments.

It just does what it says on the tin.
