I've had one for several years, so I would imagine it's not the"top of the line" -- no attachments. It does have an on/off switch on the cord which makes it convenient. I place it in a glass mug (actually a beer Stein) to prevent burns, falling to the floor, etc. The only thing I use it for is to give a press to seams when assembling blocks. It doesn't give as good a press as an iron, but it's good enough and then I press with the iron later. I have no complaints for the one I have.

Letty, I like your tip about getting into pieces to press out and sharpen seams. I'm making tiny garments for preemies and have a time getting good sharp seams. My fingers don't work as well as they used to on tiny things. I will try your hint.
