Default Small iron recommendations....

Could anyone recommend a small iron? I have a full size one & board next to my table but would like a small iron to use with my Omnigrid fold away cutting mat next to my machine. (Plus I'm tired of getting burned working on these small blocks!!) Thanks!!

I checked but most of the posts were for full size irons. Hoping someone would have a suggestion for one they used with the small onmigrid mat. But, I did find a pattern for a travel tote for a mini iron-so cute!!

I have a travel Rowenta and it works really good. It was a free gift when I bought the full sized one.

This is the one I keep next to my sewing machine. My ironing board for this iron is a covered tv tray.
