Advantages: Lightweight. Good for fiddly bits that require steam not pressing. Disadvantages: Filling is laboursome. Can't cope with tough creases.
A Comet instore promotion of £10 off meant I got this for £39.99 - WAY more than I could've paid online! :-( And I'm not impressed. It's fine for your normal clothes, but it struggles with 'hard' cottons such as you get with starchy cotton teatowels. So there's no way it can cope with tough denim or my John Lewis cotton duvet cover (more creases than an aged elephant). Temp control is a 'plasticky' slider, not as easy as a wheel.
Vertical steam: ... ...require steam shot rather than actual pressing.
Filling: easy as the cap is large - but you have to invert the iron so you need to unplug it & allow it to cool down a bit first otherwise the steam goes mental.

Advantages: Quick and easy to use Disadvantages: Could perform just as well if it was slightly smaller
This iron is used in my family house hold and was bought by my mother. Since movin out recently i also choose to buy it myself.
