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

 A Mini IronFeb 21, 2010
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.

Does the job....barely.Jan 28, 2010
This little iron is does an ok job for what I was looking for - something small to press seams while sewing. It does fine for that, but certainly wouldn't work at getting out any kind of wrinkles.

A waste of moneyOct 10, 2009
I bought this mini iron to use on ribbons for greeting card crafting. These are the problems I have with it:
-The cord is only 56" long and the enclosed directions forbid the use of an extension cord.
-The directions also state that this product should be used with an ironing board. One of the reasons I bought this mini iron was to avoid having to set up the ironing board. I ignored this particular instruction, and used a cloth napkin on a wooden table as my 'ironing board'--a low wooden table, since the iron's cord is so short.
-Even though I let the mini iron heat up for several minutes, it didn't perform efficiently. My ribbon still had wrinkles after I finished ironing it. There is no light that goes on when the iron is hot enough, and nothing in the enclosed directions states how long it takes for the iron to heat up to its working temperature. I would have thought that five minutes should have been more than enough time for this mini iron to reach maximum temperature.
My advice to potential buyers: don't waste your money on this mini crafting iron.

 Great quilting productSep 28, 2009
Got this for my mom to help her with her quilting. Great for ironing small parts of fabric, heats up quickly and very easy to use.
