Useless and dangerous
Where to start! The iron itself is badly designed. The ‘ironing’ - and I use the term lightly - tip is at the end of a long straight plastic body. This means that it is very hard to get any pressure on the actual tip as you can’t press downwards near the head. To top it off, there is a long piece of very hot metal that is exposed at the top between the handle/body and the tip. The heat guard bizarrely only covers the bottom of this hot shaft meaning it is very easy to burn yourself (as I have done) when trying to manoeuvre into a position where you can put some downward pressure on the tip. The plastic body which you hold onto is pretty thick and you have to grip it very tightly in order to put any pressure on the tip, so it is totally unsuitable for anyone with arthritis or any kind of RSI injury in their hands. On top of that, the iron takes ages to heat up and loses most of its heat the moment you actually start to iron with it. The instructions do say in the small print that the temperature during use might be lowered but this was to the point of having zero impact on any fabric of any sort. I’m not sure whether it was only the one I got sent that behaved like this through being faulty or if they’re all like this. So it’s perfect if you want to hurt your hands, burn yourself and not iron anything. Needless to say, I boxed it up for return within two hours of taking delivery.

Exactly as expected.
I have wanted one of these for a while and it works well. I'm glad I got it, especially the one with all the attachments as it saves quite a bit of money.

3D pen and print
Good for smoothing large PLA 3D plastic prints.I use it together with a 3D pen to make sculptures in plastic

too hot to handle
The problem with it was, although it works fine, is that there is too much hot metal exposed along the stem of the iron and you are not able to put a little pressure nearer the end of it when required.

Perfect for patchwork
Bought this for my patchwork-making mother and she loves it! The perfect tool to flatten out the smallest of seems/corners/awkward to reach bits. The iron is very small but does get very hot within minutes.

Excellent tool for pressing small seams
Excellent tool for pressing small seams. Great addition to my patchwork and quilting equipment especially used in conjunction with the Clover pressing board. Saves constantly getting up to go to the ironing board as I can keep it beside me.
