Revainrating 5 out of 5

I won't go to Germany without one!

I spend a lot of time in Germany, where irons are of course not part of the standard room - in fact, most of them are either delivered or the ironing room is in some damp basement. I asked for an iron once for 3 days and it wasn't available for all 3 days. Listen to this little guy. I've had it for 5 years now and it ALWAYS follows me abroad. It plugs directly into 220V with no setup (there must be some sort of automatic switch) and I just use a simple socket converter like the Ckitze USA to Europe Round Travel Plug Adapter. It heats up quickly and cools down slowly. On a couple of trips I lost the water cup that came with it, so I just poured water, checked to see if there was anything in the line, then shook out the excess. To be honest, a reviewer who previously flagged this as a problem must have had a stressful journey indeed. I just put a towel on a flat surface (or use the bed as they only have a stretched sheet with a duvet) and iron all my clothes at once. Steam stops 4-5 shirts and grabs the pants. Since it's mostly evening now, I let it cool overnight and wrap it up in the morning. Cable storage is good and usually fits well. Sometimes I wrap it differently, but usually it doesn't matter much. Most of the time I only travel with hand luggage and TSA/Europe airport security doesn't care. It has a shape good enough to be easily identified. As a satisfied customer, I would happily recommend this travel iron.

Pros
  • Durable surfaces
Cons
  • I say nothing
