- Ability to steam garments vertically, garments such as curtains or even suit jackets
- The “Anti Calc” feature that stop calcium buildup allowing you to use ordinary tap water to steam your garments
Cons of the Iron
- Some people find it hard to see the level of the water because the back face is a dark plastic that is not very translucent.
- Someone said that it’s not possible to wrap the cord around the heel and the handle to store it away neatly. Annoying but not
