I have the original white one and the newer red one with attachments. Original one did not get hot enough so never use it. Use the red one a lot -- sits right next to my machine to do 1/4" seams and is really great for the small areas --wouldn't want it for bigger pieces/blocks. Stand is a joke -- needs help to stabilize -- cup, tile, wooden stand that is sold in some places -- kind of like you need for glue guns. Love the iron but hardly ever use attachments.
