I am really impressed with this little iron. I do upholstery and custom sewing, and I got this for my work area. I use it with an ironing pad that I also got on Amazon. I use an old computer armiour (no idea how to spell that) with a flip out desktop. The smaller size saves alot more space than I thought it would. It's a very convenient setup for sewing. When I need to press a hem or press open a seam or whatever, I just unfold the pad and turn the iron on right there. It heats up fast and is so much more convenient than hauling out a full size iron and waiting for it to heat up.
The iron itself feels pretty substantial for a portable model. It's lightweight enough to not cost you extra to put it in a suitcase on a plane, but it's heavy enough to get the job done.
I like that it's one piece instead of having some kind of flimsy folding handle or something.
It has a dial with several different temperature settings, and they seem pretty accurate.
It gets hot quickly. After turning it on, it's ready to fuse bonding in less than a minute. (That needs alot of heat.)
This may seem minor, but it stands up on its own well. Alot of irons tip forward easily or require me to flip the cord all around to get it out of the way so it will stand up. This one is easy to just set back down with no worries, and it's stable. It doesn't fall even if I bump it while working in a cramped space.
I have pretty large hands for a woman, and it does seem a little small for my hands. It's okay and would probably be good for most women, but it would be nice to be able to get a better grip on it. The channels where my fingers are supposed to go when I grip it just aren't deep enough. I also find the small dial to be a bit difficult. I usually only use it on high so it's not a big deal, but the small dial would be a little hard for me to control to get to a specific setting. I really don't really consider those negatives because small size is just a function of portable size.
I only use it dry, so I can't comment that on the steam function.
All in all, it's almost perfect as a dedicated sewing/crafting iron, and I imagine based on my experience with it, that it would be great for travel or even as the only iron for someone who doesn't have a frequent need or alot of space for an iron (like college kids in dorms). It's a good product, and I'm surprisingly pleased with my purchase.

Super awesome iron
This iron is so cool. It operates on dual voltage. I often go to Europe and this was so helpful for me. Super life saver. Also it worked very well in UK. This do get super hot if you forget to turn it off, it may burn the cloth. Be aware of that.It clears out tough wrinkles also (like cotton fabrics).I simply love the quality of dual voltage and its very light weight.You can carry this in your carry-on (also in luggage too). Its TSA approved. I always take it in my carry-on because of its light weight.100% recommended item for all travelers ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
