Not tiny but mini. Not hot but warm.
Honestly was trying to decide if this was a two or three star. Had to go with 2. On a true scale I’d rate this item between a 2-2.5.Pros: it’s small lending itself well for small or tight work spaces (caveat in the cons). It heats up rather quickly (caveat in the cons). The controls are intuitive allowing for ease of use.Cons: it’s too small. This is not a small iron it’s a mini iron. It’s probably a sixth the size of a normal iron. Kind so small it shoots past comic straight to ridiculous. Now the size could be mitigated if it wasn’t for the heat factor. This iron does not get hot. It gets warm. My hot water comes out hotter than this iron gets. The purpose behind the purchase was for hobby sewing crafts. Many times a fold needs to be creased with an iron to help with the creation of a seam. This irons ability to create enough working heat does not allow for that. The cord is also short. It could be a foot or two longer.I could see this being more as a gag gift instead than a useable iron. It will probably be able to handle minor wrinkles but will not be sufficient for stubborn ones. Get it don’t get it. It’s up to you. Maybe I received a bad one. Who knows? Maybe you’ll be lucky and get one that gets more hot than what mine does. With all said I cannot recommend this for purchase. I understand this would not get as hot as a normal iron however it could have been better than it was.
