    Which Clover iron? I have the Clover small skinny one and the Clover Wedge iron. The Wedge iron is a travel size, looks like a regular iron. I take the Wedge iron to classes. Works great.

    My cordless Panasonic is my best friend forever. It's amazing how easy it is to iron without that darn cord! I absolutely love it!

    I have several of the Rowenta travel iron from years ago with the long handle. I purchased two...just had a feeling they would not be around in the future....I was right. haven't seen it in years. Sharon Schamber used it exclusively and recommend it in a class I took from her, she kept it at her side while sewing...turned in on its side when not in use. it had steam if you wanted, but I used it with no steam...really hot iron and perfect for travel, classes, and beside my machine. Not why they stopped making them.....love the long handle....does anyone else have one?

    I recently purchased a Panasonic cordless iron and love it! I have hand issues and this iron is fantastic. It is small, light, has great steam. Since I have hand issues, I have found it to be easier on my wrists. You just put it flat on the base, no turning your wrist to stand it up. It's awesome!

    I sometimes use a Hobbico. I saw Eleanor Burns using one on her show and bought one. Normally, I just take my Rowenta to class.

    Since there are a bazillion irons out there all I am going to say is that I won't buy an expensive one. I did that once and will not again!

    Is this the Rowenta travel iron you were talking about? I have been considering it, but it seems too expensive. I don't mind the cost if it really works well.
