MY REVIEW
Let me start by saying that ironing in my household is a rare thing.  I hate to do it and I hate to even think about it.  If it weren't for work clothes that need it, I would probably not even own an iron.  Since my work clothes do need to look presentable though, I decided to give this product a try.

Who thought it would be an amazing idea to make the water reservoir hard to see through? Did they think it would be a cool joke to make it hard to see how much space you have left to add the water? That was a major fail in the design department.  They might want to rethink that design flaw and fix it for the next models that come out. Plus once you do get the water level at the right spot, it leaks whenever you use it. The steam setting was horrible. After the third use, it quit steaming and even heating properly.

Overall this product just reaffirms my stance on hating to iron.  It made a chore turn into a nightmare.
