Which travel iron should you buy?
Ultimately, the travel iron you should buy depends on your needs. Do you need the triangular pointed shape to get into nooks and crannies (quilters definitely will)? Do you need steam? How about the option to steam your clothes on a hanger? What is your budget? How much space do you have? Do you care about looks? There is something for everyone on this list.
An excellent overall pick is the Steamfast SF-717 Mini Steam Iron. With three temperature settings for your various fabrics; this handy little iron heats up in just 15 seconds. A press of the button releases steam from the 1.4-ounce tank to take care of stubborn creases. A 7.5-foot power cord gives you plenty of room to work. Dual voltage switches between 100 and 240 volts, which means you can take this mini iron anywhere in the world. The handy travel bag, measuring cup, and non-slip handle are nice touches. It weighs less than one pound and measures just 3.1-by-2.9-by-5.3 inches, so it’s easy to pop into your bag. A two-year hassle-free warranty gives you peace of mind.
