This steamer and its boiler heat up rather quickly even if the water reservoir is full. The iron piece is compact and lightweight and glides over the fabrics easily. I find it also has a contemporary design with its black sleek body. The only downside in my opinion is that it tends to make noises once it is no longer in operation, as the cooling takes up to 3 hours. In this period one can not use the streamer as the manufacturer recommends to cool down completely the unit before second time use. This also is sometimes logistical problem so one has to carefully plan and prepare what and how much they want to iron and steam, especially if there is an occasion or a real need for speedy steaming process of a garment.
