It does not weigh too heavy and takes up little space, which is important if you travel by air. The handle retracts (lowers) allowing the iron stand with its cable in a small bag.
The cable is sufficiently long. However, I prefer to take a power strip in my luggage, which can also serve as an extension so the socket of the hotel room is too far.
The iron also has a steam function, the handle of the iron serving as a water reservoir. The amount of water makes ironing a garment without difficulty.
