Be careful! I was given two that were similiar. I threw both of them away, they burnt the fabric very very bad. The first little bit they were ok, but if left on any amount of time they burnt the fabric. (One piece so quick it was crisp)And like what was already mentioned they take a long long time to cool down. Until you know for sure don't leave it on unless you're right there. (Just a word of advice)

I have a collection of old irons and toy irons... I would have snatched that one up for sure!

Man, I wish I had one of those. So handy and for traveling is a gem to take along. Last motel iron I used squirted water everywhere. Good deal.

well tried her out and you are right!
she heats UP!
but worked really well for pressing out some yardage
I unplugged after about 5 minutes and yes she stayed hot to finish the job.
But because of the safety hazard she will have a DO NOT USE tag attached.
Don't want the guys in the house to leave her plugged in and walk away!
