This is a great steamer, like Rowenta irons it is a quality product. The size makes it a little cumbersome for air travel, but if you're packing for a week and checking luggage, give it a go. I like it for day trips or if I need to have one backstage/in the dressing room. I think the bulk is because it has a motor to force the steam out; also, it feels sturdy and not flimsy. The wrinkles go away quickly with this great steamer.
