But, the the designed purposes of this iron are to cut down on size and iron. The SteamFast does both well. I don't think an iron with steam could be much smaller. I also like the fact that mine came with a water measuring cup and storage bag that fit into my backpack. <br /> <br />It irons well and provides a decent amount of steam. Due to the size, it does not hold much water. Ironing will take a few minutes longer than with a full-size iron. I had to refill with water after about 3 to 4 shirts. <br /> <br />I will add that this iron does not get as hot as a regular iron does, so if you need the highest temperature settings from your home iron, then this may not meet your expectations.

Now with the help of this wonderful little iron I can press seams, etc. as I sew without having to haul out the big ironing board. I works great for quick clothing touch-ups as well. It is actually fun to use...this from a women who used to dread ironing. :) A++++ product Rating: 5 / 5 I put an ironing mat on one end of my sewing table.

It took the wrinkles out of our clothes all week. Compact, doesn't take much space in your suitcase. It did everything we wanted it to do. Rating: 5 / 5 We bought this little iron for a cruise.

Then, I connected the iron to the converter, whereupon it fried the converter. So, not only didn't I have an iron I could use, I was out my converter as well.
