I have a clover mini iron & love it.
The only thing I don't like is the little stand that comes with it. So I use a big coffee mug to sit it in when I am not pressing & when I shut it off to cool down. Works like a dream..and no risk of burning anything; espically me.
Never heard of it only being on for 10 minutes. I have had mine on for a couple hours before & still working like a charm after 5 years.
