I love mine (the original) for pressing after ever seam while paper piecing and fusing little pieces on applique. I keep it in a coffee mug--the stand is worthless--and it goes with me on vacation. I also have the little Rowenta travel iron that I use for pressing units & blocks but it doesn't get hot anymore so I'm looking for a replacement. I saw the post about one catching fire but mine is catching a cold--LOL. And Joann's usually doesn't allow the coupons on the travel & larger size irons so I have to watch for a good sale or try & find one used.
