One major difference I noticed between the mini steam iron referred to in the above links and the Rowenta Travel iron (other than price) is the fact that this one is 400 watts compared to 1000 watts for the Rowenta. If you're worried about tripping circuit brakers at quilt retreats, you might want to go with the 400 watt. Just MHO.
