Comment:

I really hated to give this much for an iron but I'm very happy with my purchase. It did take a couple times of use to learn how to use it, but it puts out lots of steam and irons better than any I've used. I love the long swivel cord. It is somewhat heavy so I don't recommend this iron for travel.

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
