Pros: It does what it says it will do.

Cons: The power cord is too long

The iron is very heavy and bulky (too tall and too wide). Compared with past irons I've owned, this iron takes considerably more effort to pick up and maneuver each time you lay it down to adjust your garment on the ironing board. It does not eje...ct steam very forcefully. Also, the setting choices are written very small, so folks like me over 40, will have to wear bi-focals to read them. The tall iron seems prone to tip over if you don't carefully swivel the cord out of the way when standing it up. The squeaky clean and new rubberized power cord also had a tendency to drag across the garment and move it out of place - a problem that may diminish over time. Read more Less
