I think the newer version of the Clover Mini Irons have safety features that protects your fingers from burning as well as different temperature settings. I was at an applique quilt class and several people brought their Clovers in. They all looked different from each others because of when they bought them. I know you can now buy different kinds of tip rods that can be inserted into the handle of one of their interchangable Clover Mini Iron models. In case you want to do some wood burning or jewelry work and other crafty stuff that I don't know.
I liked using it for applique but I found the cord to be constantly in my way. Several times the iron fell over because of the cord. The Petite Press Mini Iron is cordless. So I wondered if anybody has bought it and liked it better than the Clover.
