IS-900 Retro Edition Duopress Steamer Iron

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really wanted to like the Duopress Steamer & Iron, maybe because of the retro look, but unfortunately it was just OK. I used it three ways, iron dry on a ironing board, iron with steam on an ironing board and upright steam. First, you must turn the handle out otherwise the cord will be on top of the iron and will be in the way. However, when you do this, it is too top heavy, even while flat ironing. I didn’t think it was a big deal, but after a short time, my wrist got sore with having your grip so low and not over the middle of the iron. DRY flat ironing - Fail. It doesn’t get hot enough in my opinion that I could not get the wrinkles and creases out. STEAM flat ironing - Worked as should, but there is no pause button, so when you have to move your item, you either have to keep holding the iron or if you set it down on the provided tray, condensation goes all over from the steam. Again, it is top heavy with your hand not being centered and makes your wrist sore. UPRIGHT steam ironing - Worked fine. The iron has to be very close to the fabric. I was able to get some wrinkles/creases out of a curtain, but not all. All in all, I wasn’t impressed, but it looks nice. I received this product for free for my honest review.
