Yes, it's an empty bottle
But what a bottle!! I don't put water in my iron because inevitably it's going to start leaking. I use a spray bottle instead, though mine both sprays AND spits. Yuck. Took a chance on this sprayer and O.M.G. Nothing but fine mist and no spits. No, it doesn't spray forever, but it does have a surprisingly long spray time. I didn't know I could be this excited about a spray bottle. 😄
