I have that iron. I like it but don't use it often. I'm quite the couch potato, so the trek to the ironing board is about as close as i get to exercise on most days. LOL
It comes in very handy when i want to press a finished quilt for presentation. the small flat head can get into tiny corners better than any regular iron i've every tried. That model does get hot enough for the job.
The advice about using something other than the little stand that comes with it is spot on, by the way. I lay mine on an old cutting board, but a ceramic tile is also an excellent suggestion.
