The AEG DBT needs compared to iron with conventional size in any way hide. It is very comfortable to hold, the color combination and the size was amazing. However, one should not expect to get an iron and ironing which can be a full load of laundry. This end, it will not perform. But in order to iron on for example a mission 1 to 2 shirts suffices it. Water can fill the handle. Capacity about 80 ml. The handle can be folded to the size to minimize yet. This idea of a travel iron has AEG my opinion perfectly realized with this iron !!!
