Yup this! Mine is from the same time frame.

The first Clover mini irons had to be heated to max temp several time before they reached max temp. every time. After that they get as hot as a regular iron. Clover never mentioned that on any packaging and lost a lot of sales by people returning the irons because they didn't get hot enough. Also the cords on some were not connected right so the iron twisted, like a water hose, making it impossible for it to stay upright when set down. Electrical cords have a lay in them (like water hoses) and have only one way to be connected, things that twist when the cord is plugged in is a dead give away of just get it together manufacturing. I had my cord reconnected and it made a big difference in ease of use.
