 Mini-craft IronNov 13, 2006
By Crafter
The size of the iron is great! It fits in the palm of your hand. And it gets hot! The only thing I don't like is that it plugs into the left hand side of the iron, which makes it awkward to use.

 Mini Craft IronSep 07, 2007
By CMJ
I find that the cord positioned on the left side makes the iron awkward to use. For a right-handed person using the iron backwards is easier. The cord though needed for the amount of current is like having a cricket on the end of a chain often keeping the iron from easily sitting flat. I will continue to use my larger iron.

A Mini IronFeb 21, 2010
By Spudman
At first glance this little crafting iron is comical in appearance and seems to be the tool of someone with elfen hands.
Mrs. Spudman is a quilter and bought this to press down seams on piecework before assembling her quilts.
What's nice is that she is using a device powered with 15 watts and not the 1800 watts of her large iron.
So far this miniscule quilting aid is performing as expected and is perfect for the small pieces of fabric used by quilters. The cord sometimes gets in the way, but that's not surprising considering the slightness of the iron itself. For stubborn wrinkles, use a spray bottle to wet the fabric first.
Crafters may find this little iron to be just what the doctor ordered. It might even come in handy for small touchups of a collar or cuff. Before purchasing this MINI iron, be aware of its limitations of size and power.

 Don't expect much outta such a small iron !Nov 04, 2010

I have no complaints with my little craft iron. Most of the reviewers on here seem like they expected this iron to perform like a household iron that you'd use for daily ironing. This is a CRAFTING IRON ! It's meant to smooth out those minor wrinkles in fabric, hold hems and folds, or stick on your Iron-on patches. It does just that for me at least. I'm able to easily iron out wrinkled creases in my folded pieces of fabric and iron down my folds/hems. I do agree with those who say the placement of the plug is a big awkward. The iron tends to tip over when standing bcuz of the plug throwing it off balance. Overall I'd say this is a great mini iron to have and I bet you can take this with you on travels for light ironing to iron out wrinkles from the suitcase packing. Other than that if you're doing major ironing just stick with your household iron. But if you're just ironing out light wrinkles for quilt squares or what not this iron works fine.

 Lukewarm, could be a kids iron! What is the use?Aug 16, 2010
By Birny

I ended up getting one of these, with a mini ironing board at a yardsale, and the novelty was the catch! Thinking I could use it while at work during the slow periods when I can do my crafts, I tried it the other night... boy, what a waste, I'm glad I didn't pay much for it, probably about $2 for both items if that. (It was part of a lot of items bought for one price that day.)
I was trying to iron damp fabric, to dry it, and get the wrinkles out. Not only was it not hot enough to dry the fabric, it did not get the wrinkles out either. Thinking it was maybe holding too much moisture with the mini fabric covered ironing board, I used the hard surface of the bathroom counter, this was actually worse, as the counter sucked all the heat away, leaving the fabric just as damp, compared to less damp on the board!
You can touch the bottom without getting a serious burn, though it does feel hot, I was unable to get anywhere with it, and put it away, so I could get some real ironing done at home with my Rowenta Surfline Titan Plus that is a wonderful iron! Another steal, at $2.99 at a thrift store!
If you have a little girl who wants to learn to iron, and learn about hot irons, this will do the job! Hot enough to frighten a child, but that is about it.
