A light-weight, primarily plastic, steam pressing iron, which may be assembled without the use of tools and a multiplicity of fasteners, includes a ported aluminum soleplate having a steam generating area and a thermostat, with a rotatable control, a plastic skirt which is snap-fitted onto the soleplate, a plastic housing/handle having a dove-tail connection to the skirt and including a snap-assembled saddle assembly, and a pivotable cord boot retained on the housing/handle by an end cap which is secured thereto by a single threaded fastener. A steam control is operated by a rocker mechanism on the saddle assembly and the rotatable thermostat control is operated by a heat control button which is linearly movable on the saddle assembly. A reservoir in the housing/handle may be provided with either a spray or a non-spray vent cap.
