My favorite is the Steamfast from Walmart. Gets plenty hot and fits my hand well.

I have a little vintage one I got from the thrift store. Mine came in the box and actually has a usable water globe on it! People usually melt/lose those. Handle can flatten out for packing, but since I have the box I haven't bothered with that.

Edit: I also have a June Tailor iron holder that can wrap around my normal iron. It's got the teflon coated stuff in the side and straps so it can fit a wide variety of iron. Probably about the same price as a mini-iron but maybe not so cool of a present.

I have the Steamfast 750 now. I had the lower priced model of the Steamfast iron but it just didnt get hot enough for me. I dont use the steam feature, so i cant speak to that.

I have a Steamfast iron from Walmart. Was $12.88. A great deal for such a fun little iron!

We had several of the Walmart Steamfast irons at the last retreat I went to. They are made differently then the one I have. The Walmart ones didn't get as hot.

The Clover Steamfast! Readily available at Walmart and other stores, heats up fast. Sits right beside my sewing machine and does a great job on all my piecing for my small (and larger) blocks. No automatic shut-off (which I don't want anyway.)

Ah, its the same one "sewingitalltogether" and others are telling you about. Cheaper at Walmart!

When I was a little girl I had a metal ironing board with iron and the Wedge looks like the child size iron I had. Th Clover Wedge is being discontinued so I bought an extra to keep.

This brings back memories!! My sister and I had irons too. But hers could plug in and get barely warm while mine couldn't be plugged in bc I was little. I hated being the youngest but now I love it :D

I just got this one https://www.oliso.com/mini-iron/ from quilt in a day. Problem is, the 'handle' gets hot. I did have it on the hottest setting. I haven't tried it at a lower heat setting.
