## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will the creases fall out of shirts and tshirts if you just vertical steam? (I am lazy and have no space for an ironing board!)**
A: I've never tried it but I would think it should work if you have your garment on a hanger ,the weight of the item plus the steam should remove creases.It is a steam generator as well as an iron. Long sleeved shirts could be tricky and probably need to be steamed inside the sleeve.

**Q: do you have warranty**
A: Just the manufacturers warranty.  Think it is 1 year.  I wouldn't buy another as this is my 2nd one and unless the steam generator is the same height as your ironing board it drips water all over the laundry.  First one returned after 9 months as steam generator gave up the ghost!

**Q: Hi! Does the iron take away hard shirts and cotton trouser creases easily?**
A: I have used it on jeans with good results. There is an eco setting which I use mostly on light weight items such as tee shirts and blouses. I’m not sure on cotton trousers if it will take creases away completely but I have been satisfied with the results. Worked a treat on my heavy curtains

**Q: What is the measurement of the actual iron individually length and width? Thanks**
A: THE PLATE LENGTH IS 24CmsLONG AND 12cms Wide

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great iron. Highly recommended

Good iron for the price. It is light to hold and very easy to use because there is only one button. It sets the right heat on its own, so you just plug it in and start. I am very happy with it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Steam Flow
*by M***Y on 17 February 2026*

Valid for a duration of two years from the date of purchase. Following this period, a decrease in steam flow compromised the functionality of the iron.
