I have had one a few years. I like it. i feel it gets hot enough I have burned myself as well. I like because if i'm doing piecing I can have it beside me and not get up & down as much to press the seams. then when the block is done I press it with the regular iron. I have the pointed on. I also do not use the stand. i use a binder clip I like that better.

I have had mine for a few years now. Also have the stand but the iron fell over and melted the plastic on one of my machines when it hit the front of it. Have a few burn marks on my fingers too. Haven't used it lately.

I don't think it gets hot enough and I seem to remember that the cord got in the way or it was heavier then the iron and made the iron difficult to handle.
I also have the Hobbico iron that I have seen Eleanor Burns use on TV. It gets very hot, has a nice point -- does not have auto shut-off so I have scorched my ironing board cover a few times.

I use it when I'm piecing, to save trips back and forth to the ironing board, but once I've got the block done, I find I really need to give it a "good" pressing with the iron. Maybe that's just me though. It's a handy tool, and it's terrific as a "take-along" for classes where there are usually people lined up to use the irons.
