I have the one pictured and used my coupon to buy it and I find that it is one of my favorite quilt notions I have ever bought. It works perfect on seams, even tough seems just need a little extra time pressing and come out flat. I can't imagine my quilting without it.

It has 4 different temperature settings, an adjustable stand, and the head is adjustable, too. I put it next to my machine so I can do quick presses of seams in between sewing.
there is another out there that , that got excellent reviews..

I got the Rowenta travel iron about 1 year ago and agree that it is a great little iron. But one day I pressed too hard on the handle while ironing and the handle collapsed and now the handle will no longer stay up. I took the iron apart to find that the trigger between up & down for the handle was broken and cannot be fixed. Word to the wise on this iron--do not push down hard on the handle.

I bought one for my doll clothes. It doesn't get hot enough to really press the seams. Is works (sort of) on the doll clothes but takes forever to heat and, as I said, doesn't get hot enough. Maybe I bought the wrong brand. Mine was $25.00.
