No wonder this steamer is so cheap. I expected much more from such a famous brand as Rowenta. However, this ship does not live up to its name. Took a few passes over the very light colored kitchen curtains and they are still rumpled. And your hands get tired (this steam is very strong when the water cartridge is full). I haven't even tried heavier curtains in the living room or bedroom. Save your money and invest in the best steamer. This one falls miles :(
