"I love this iron--and canot believe all the negative reviews! I have arthritis and this is so lightweight it is no problem to lift and move arond. The small plate is wonderful for getting into all the small places, like around shoulders, collars, cuffs, pleats, butotns, zippers, and on children's clothing, etc. No problem with the steam on mine. I love it for getting those wrinkles out that occur as curtains are re-hung from the dryer. This iron is so much better constructed with higher quality materials than small irons I shopped for in stores before I got this several years ago. Go for it, you can always return it, but I think you won't want to!
Perfect for college students and/or older folks."
