[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Takes about 5 minutes to heat up. I tried it on my linen shirt since it's the most stubborn piece I have in my closet. It took about less that 5 minutes to do one side and it came out smooth, I also used the steam option. The iron part is perfect for collars and hems because those are stubborn areas. It's quiet, it's easy to set up, only need a tiny bit of water In the reservoir, I prefer that so there's less chance of mold. It's just like using a straightener, easy. I feel that it's safer than using a traditional iron because it's not big and when you set it down you don't have to worry about where you set it and how you set it, the hot plates don't touch anything.
I highly recommend, it works on linen it will work on almost anything, just use the settings for which fabric you are about to work on, that's one of its best features. Thank you!!!
