I have mixed feelings about this machine. It glides well on the fabric and has a nice weight to it, a very long cord, the plate is some kind of ceramic or something that is very slick. But it leaks like crazy from the spray nozzle. I didn't think it would bother me, but after ironing a patch of clothing all of a sudden you have a big water spot you have to iron over again to dry it. I have had it for about 3 weeks and it just started to leak within this last week. I am pretty sure that I will have to take it back.
