🏆Premium Pack SF-717 Mini Steam Iron with Dual Voltage Travel Bag, Non-Stick Soleplate, Anti-Slip Handle, Rapid Heating, 420W Power, White

I recently bought this iron to use on a week-long sewing retreat. Space is limited and it is nice to have one's own iron to avoid waiting in line to press. I set this up next to my sewing machine using the Omnigrid ironing and cutting mat station. I thought I would only use it for the two twin size quilt tops I was making. The blocks required a lot of trimming and pressing. This iron worked excellently. It generates a lot of steam for holding only 1.4 ounces of water (the water pitcher is the cutest little thing, like a toy). After I finished piecing the quilts, I decided to use it on the garments I was sewing. And I'm glad I did! The iron works well with tailor's tools like the seam roll, tailor's ham, and seam stick. I sewed all week with this iron and made four dresses, 7 pairs of men's briefs, 12 pair of ladies' briefs, two stuffed dolls, and a skirt. All using this iron (though I did resort to a regular iron for the long sides of the twin quilt borders). I like the long cord. Also great is the LACK of an automatic shut off. You can turn the knob to "off" or unplug it. Overall, this is a great product and an excellent resource for sewing retreats and classes.

This little iron is small but mighty. Only complaint, it’s almost ridiculous but it does affect my usage. Because it’s so small and powerful the entire unit gets hot. The handle area gets very warm.

This Iron is absolutely the best! Didn't know I would use it so much. Sure, I knew I would use it for Quilting/sewing, but I find it being my go to Iron for fast pressing and touching things up. By the time my big expensive iron is filled with water and heats up, I'm about finished by using this one. You won't be disappointed. I love it and am thinking about buying another one for a back up. I have had this a few years so I am not just writing a review about something that may not last. This is built to Last!

No steam ever came out. A friend had recommended I buy a portable steamer for use during one of our vacations. I didn’t bother to ask what her brand was, but I bought this brand recommended from an article in Buzzfeed. I, unfortunately forgot that it was in my closet, because I don’t usually bring clothes that needs ironing on vacations. Well, I just happen to use n try it today, 2yrs later, for an upcoming wedding trip since our formal clothes needs some steaming at some point. Well, this didn’t bring out any steam at all. The plate heated up but no steam. I used distilled water, I waited for 20 min to see it it’ll eventually steam up, I dialed it to the max setting, the light goes on n off, but still no steam. Alas, I couldn’t return since it’s been two years in my closet. Highly advised everyone to immediately try anything they order so they can return it asap if it’s not up to standards. I wish I could give it no stars!! But that’s not an option here. One star for cute design and plate heated up, that’s about it!

I did not like this little steam iron. I bought it for traveling in my camper. I just opened it up this past weekend...... to try it. I quilt while I am camping and wanted someting small to set my seams. Well this little iron spilled water all over from the bottom part where you press.. Water would not stay in the little holes. I would love to send it back for a refund. Is this possible. Please respond.Thank you.Sue

I was a little leary after reading some reviews, but decided to purchase and try it out. I'm glad I did! This little iron holds its own with a lot of heat for such a small iron. I use it for pressing my piecing with my little pressing matt while away from my big iron. This presses so well, and has a place for water to steam. The water dribbles out, that is the only thing I don't care for, however the heat that this little iron gives out overcomes this minor flaw. I recommend it!

It's perfect for patchwork because the size is small. It's easy to use. I love it.

This little iron heats up FAST and it gets pretty hot, which is important to a quilter. Most folks think it's the weight of the iron that gives us crisp, flat pressed seams, but it's actually the heat of the iron and this one delivers!I love the design of this iron. It's very easy to hold and use. I rarely use my steam irons with water in them (I usually use a spritzer bottle and keep the water out of my iron to prolong its life), but I gave this one a try for review purposes and it was great! No dripping, no spitting. In fact, I think this will become the first iron I use as an actual steam iron! hahaThis will NOT replace your regular sized iron. Some folks seem disappointed (or surprised) that this little iron makes pressing large pieces of fabric too time consuming. Umm.... it wasn't meant for that. Use your regular sized iron for that. This is meant to be a travel iron, a second iron, an iron to have near your sewing machine for quick, easy pressing of block pieces while quilting, etc...Overall, I am very pleased with this iron. I thought the price was great, it is easy to hold and to use, it heats up fast and gets pretty hot, it delivers steam without spitting or dripping. I am very happy I purchased it and would recommend it to anyone, especially quilters! (I have a small ironing table set up near my machine and use this little iron to press my block pieces as I go without having to leave my chair. Makes the whole process quick and efficient and the iron doesn't take up much space on this small pressing surface.)
