I bought my REDMOND RI-C263 for my country house, as my main "Braun" to bring back and forth all the time is not really desirable. And I did not expect that such a "baby" would be so handy! It irons well, nothing has ever stuck, the steaming works perfectly, the length of the cable is perfect, in my opinion.
