I bought one to take to retreats to use on my little table by my side. I burned myself multiple times, put it away and have never used it again. I bought a Rowenta travel-size iron at Bed, Bath and Beyond using a coupon. I love it. I consider my Clover Iron a waste of my money. From reading all of the posts, it appears that the iron has some design problems or this board has a bunch of klutzes!
