Default Need a new iron....

I like to have an ironing space next to my sewing machine. I have a wooden tray table with my wool mat on it so I can just turn and press as I'm piecing. I had a travel iron to press with but it died the other day and I had it less then 2 years. I'm sure it wasn't meant to iron as much as I did with it so it didn't last long.

I have other irons I could use but they're full-size and my tray table and mat are small. I've been trying to find a smaller iron but it's almost impossible. I've thought about the Oliso M2Pro Mini Iron but the reviews are mixed. I'd really like a dry iron only but they're hard to find. I don't use steam at all.

If anyone has the Oliso Mini I'd appreciate your opinion. Any other suggestions?? Why are irons so difficult to find that really suit our needs??

I currently have a Rowenta (that leaks...my husband uses it to iron his shirts), a Black & Decker Classic (it drags on fabric and all the steam holes get caught on my fabric), an el cheapo Black & Decker that I really like but it got something on the soleplate (black, sticky stuff) that I can't get off no matter what I use, and an Oliso that I've never cared for.
