I think that is the one I have sitting in my Amazon.com cart waiting for my next purchase. I don't need it for travel, but I think I would like using a smaller iron for my applique projects.

This is what my DH put together for me to take to retreats. It is so very handy

I have 2 vintage travel irons I found at thrift stores. 1 is a Valiant & the other is North American Philips. They are both dry irons & have a fold over handle. Took 1 with me to MI last year & it was perfect. Takes up very little space.

I would like on also. Some people also have cases to carry the hot/warm iron to their car, plus a small ironing board or mat.

I just replaced my small Rowenta that I use in the RV. Seems to get plenty hot!I also use a spray bottle. The old one had wires breaking where it attached to iron. My H fixed it a couple of times. I finally thought I was going to start one of the infamous Rowenta fires and pitched it!

Thanks!

For a lightweight travel iron,, I can strongy recommend the $19.99 Sunbeam (PURCHASED FROM amazon).....It gets super hot, has steam capability, and is very easy to use............

I also made and use the hot iron caddy that can be used to carry the hot iron and doubles as a pressing surface so you are not vying for iron time with others at class. Pattern at Nancy's Notions for $14.99 and includes the heat resistant fabric to make one.....additional can be purchased at Joann's..
