we took this on a recent cruise and it worked great for our needs..was pleased by the ample length of the cord, which made it easy to use without an extension cord on most occasions..had a little trouble getting the steam function to work evenly.. design fits in hand well and allows cord to wtap around conveniently..did not need it, but like the dual voltage settings...is a great product; small, easy to use, and works great!

What an amazing little iron. This iron has all the features of a full size Iron. I love it for my crafting projects, but also find it useful for small ironing jobs when I don't want to drag out my big iron. It's great to be able to get steam from such a small and lightweight iron. With a dual voltage selector, I look forward to using it for travel.

I bought this cute little iron to take on a trip to Europe, since some of the clothing I brought would need a light press. I was going to be there for a month I had rented a furnished apartment, and I wasn't sure that they'd have all the cords and gadgets that I'd need, or that their iron would be suitable (clean and work well). I don't know if there are dry cleaners in Italy, and alough I've been there four times, I've never passed one. Anyway, this little iron heats up fast and it doesn't drip, which is amazing to me. I use it at home instead of a large iron to press small sewing jobs and clothes that need a fast press before work. I can use it on my bed without dragging out an ironing board, although as an avid crafts person I have two of them: large and small. I perceived that because it is inexpensive, that it would also be junk. I was prepared to order it, try it out, and return it. Wow, was I surprised! It's just the opposite. It's absolutely wonderful!! Give it a try. I think you'll be as pleased as I am.

I needed an iron and ironing blanket to take with me to the Bahamas for my daughter's wedding. I ordered this one because it was mid-ranged priced and I liked the ergonomic design. The men in the wedding party had linen pants, and my daughter carried her wedding gown with her for a full day of travel so I knew I would need something powerful, yet small to take with us. The iron was much more than I expected. It worked perfectly in steam and ironing modes, and the blanket I purchased was just as good and large enough to do a good job of pressing everyone's clothing. I highly recommend both products for travel.

This is a great travel iron as well as a home touch up iron. My wife uses it all the time for her quilting and sewing needs... the cord is seems extra long but I'm not complaining.

What I liked about this product: size! perfect size for traveling, but on the down side you will take longer to iron large clothes.

What I did not like about this product: steam only works when you hold it down, it will not steam suits and the steam is not that powerful.

This iron works great for kids and touch ups! Other than that plan on being there for a while....

I bought this iron for Mrs. Spudman to help with a current quilting project of hers. She had bought herself a Darice mini crafting iron because of its conveniently diminutive size and because of its low wattage. However, the lack of steam and its limitations of size and temperature left something to be desired.

When I saw the Steamfast on Amazon and read the reviews, I figured this iron might be exactly what Mrs. Spudman needed. Happily this little wonder has exceeed all expectations. The iron heats up quickly and packs a powerful punch of steam. Just be aware that for large jobs lots of refills may be necessary.

For quilters this little iron is absolutely perfect. It'll eliminate those wrinkles in small fabric pieces, heats up quickly, and save energy with its low 400 watts of power. The Steamfast is also perfect for touchups of single garments or quick freshening of collars, cuffs, or shirt tails. We haven't traveled with SteamFast yet,but based on our experience with it, think it will be a great appliance to take on vacation. Mr. and Mrs. Spudman highly recommend the SteamFast Home & Away steam iron.

Distilled water is recommended for this iron.

I bought this iron recently for a trip overseas. Not only did I find it to be light & versitile, it actually is a pretty good iron. The nonstick plate makes for easy ironing, too. I found that bascially it does everything that my big Rowenta iron at home does... just a bit slower because it's compact.

i bought this iron prior to a 2 week trip to europe. this iron is a little champ, lightweight, easy to use and performs as well as any full size iron.

This iron was a great buy. It's size is perfect for travelling and despite its size, it works as a big iron. Very happy with this.
