It doesn't float my boat for pressing seams, but I use mine for applique. For that, I like it very much.

Have one of the originals and forget to use it. Sometimes it's amazing how we think we have to have certain things and then there they sit.

I have that iron and while I don't use it much, I like it for small spaces.

I also have this iron and love it.

I had one, tried it for a week and returned it. I now use the Rowenta travel iron that is great for all my "ironing beside my machine" needs. The smaller one took too much time to cover any area....

I bought one but the stand in which it rests did not work well so I stuck it in a glass. It heated up so much that the plastic around the rod melted. It may be fine with an alternate stand.

I really appreciate all these remarks. I've wanted one but since reading all this, I have changed my mind and will keep my $60.

Being a gadget person, I have this iron. It is good for small projects. I don't recall having to pay that much for it. It gets very hot, and the little holder isn't adequate to hold it. My husband made me a holder out of wood.

I also had the Rowenta small iron and loved the way it ironed--that is until the handle collapsed and broke. It was the best small iron I had ever had because it had a steel plate and a pointed end.

I guess I am the odd person here, as I have had the red one for about 3 or 4 years and I just love it. I use it mainly for small pieces and applique. I really like it for those small triangle pieces, as you will not stretch them when you press the seams. Of course it would be too time consuming to try to do large things or a finished block, but I like the fact that it is by my machine to do those small seams quickly. I put masking tape on the bottom of the plastic rest and than set that in a little ceramic saucer with sides. Works great for me.......

If you're not sure and have to ask if you should buy it, I'd get the one without all of the tips if they still sell it. I had one, sold it and then realized I really did need one so bought another one. It does come I handy especially if you paper piece.
