Hark, it’s a SHARK!
I have been very impressed with this iron. It heats up fast, glides smoothly, and puts out a wonderful amount of steam, especially for its small footprint.

I love this iron! It has ton’s of steam, with the plus side of strong, verticle (and horizontal) blasts of steam for just steaming items, over a foot away! Nice “large” filling cup for adding water, and it can use “tap” water, (an amazing perk for a long-time “distilled” water user like me for years!)
I really needed a “lightweight” iron with arthritis in my right hand and this one is perfect. I can iron for long stretches without pain or discomfort. I bought a large wonderful (Rowenta) iron, which was beautiful, but I couldn’t use it due to the weight. It’s amazing what a great job this “lightweight” can do up against it’s “heavier” bigger, rivals!
It gets out wrinkles better than any other iron I have owned in over 40 years of ironing too. The digital readout of levels and readiness are a colorful light show treat too! The automatic shut off feature is a must too (with annoying “Senior” moment forgetfulness episodes!)

I do a significant amount of ironing (6-7 hours per week total) and this iron has basically worn out in 6 months time. It developed a crack in the side of the water tank that doesn’t leak yet (but does worry me as to when it will start leaking from that spot). It has what seems to be a rather significant yet intermittent leak between the base plate and the water tank . The ’silver’ on the underside of the handle has completely worn off also. When I iron, I have to fill the water tank approximately every 30 minutes to make up for the leakage; when I purchased the iron a full water talk would last me 2-3 times that long.
For someone who irons infrequently this may be a good iron, but for someone like me who uses it quite a bit I wish I had spent a bit more for a higher-quality iron.

I’ve had this iron for about a month. For under $50, it has nice balance (even though it’s a bit wobbly standing on end on an ironing board), TONS of steam, comes with a handy refilling cup, easy to refill, and has a calcium filter which is what sealed the deal for me.
Easy eliminates wrinkles quickly (I can iron wrinkly textured shirt in about 5 min) and with starch, a little quicker. Simple adjustment and quick auto-shut off. Perfect iron if you’re on a budget but demand pro results.
