A steam iron I would prefer still to go through the steam really strong folds out easily.
On the other hand, the iron is compared unexpectedly light and it is there but rather in the apparatus of the Iron - off only on the ironing board, it does not quite safe stand thanks to its lightness, it may, however, be taken, if necessary, on a journey..
The cable length is sufficient when directly an electrical outlet is nearby, a slightly longer cable would be desirable. The cable approach is convenient as rotatable and flexible.
The big advantage: It's simple and easy to understand to use so can sometimes put the women on the couch and let Iron Men. ;-)
