Great little iron
Great iron. I had many doubts about buying it because of some mixed reviews, but this iron is awesome!!It is really small and comfortable to take on trips, but it is really powerful. It heats up super fast, it doesn't leak water, and it works perfectly.It's much better than our big, everyday iron, to the point that sometimes we use this little one instead of the big one when we are at home.I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a travel iron to take with you.

10/10 for me 💗
Did a comparison of two different mini travel iron on my most wrinkles tee-shirt due to my indecisiveness and to test which one is the best to keep for long term. Since my parents do have a bigger heavier steam/dry iron with lots of buttons; I just want one that is simple, ready to go, that I can keep in my room, and bring on vaca or trips. I did try my best to iron both sides the same amount of time and the same amount of fastness that I did on each side. By no means, am I bias over the other any of these irons, this is my honest first impression review and experience with these irons performance.As you see in the pictures that I’ve provided, the EnzZone dry iron does get most wrinkles out (right side of tee-shirt) but not all; even though I put it to the highest heat setting. I did notice I would have to go back to some areas that still had some wrinkle marks and see if it would take those stubborn wrinkles out, which was a bit bothersome but I digress. The first thing I noticed about the EnzZone dry iron is it has a hot glue gun/plastic smell which is a bit alarming, the edges of the plate are not smooth and does get caught on to the material when ironing, the cord is stiff and a bit short like 4-5 foot long, it is a bit of a nuisance when turning it off since the heat dial is a bit stiff to turn and the detachable handle gets in the way of doing that. That being said you can burn yourself when trying to turn the heat dial off since the hot plate is close to the dial; I did almost burn myself trying to turn it off cuz of the handle being in the way and due to the stiffness.Yes, maybe I could’ve set it down (while it was still on the highest heat setting remind you) and taken off the handle and then turn it off but of course I couldn’t that, why would I want to do that and risk of burning something. Especially, when you’re in a rush; who wants to take their sweet time, sit down, take off the handle and turn the stiff heat dial off while the plate is still hot. To each their own if you don’t mind doing all that.Next, on the left side of the tee-shirt I tested out the Sunbeam that is a steam but can also be a dry iron if you don’t want steam on certain type of material clothing. I would like to note the Sunbeam did not have a glue gun/plastic smell or any type of odor smell, does have smooth edges so you’re able to iron your clothes fast with no worries, has a longer flexible cord (8 foot) compared to the EndzZone, the Sunbeam does not have a on or off button like the EnzZone iron but the tip does have a red light indicator, that lights up every few minutes letting you know it’s on and still hot and producing heat.Of course, in the picture you can see the Sunbeam did a fantastic job getting rid of those stubborn wrinkles out. I did turn the dial to the highest heat setting and did a dry iron test on the left half bottom side of the shirt and then on the top left half side I did a bit of steam to see if the steam worked and it did. I did notice the Sunbeam plate was hotter and producing more heat compare to the EnzZone plate; even though both were put at the highest heat settings. Adding on to the list the Sunbeam’s handle is comfortable to hold, grip and you won’t have any trouble burning yourself when turning the heat dial down.The final ending results were amazing compared side by side as seen in the picture when I held the tee-shirt up you can automatically tell the right side (EnzZone) still had those stubborn wrinkles, even though I did go back a few times over them on the highest heat setting. For the left side (Sunbeam) I in fact DID NOT have to go back and get rid of those stubborn wrinkles!Overall, I’ll say the Sunbeam is a win for me💗!! I’ll admit, I do like how compact, skinny, detectable the handle is on the EnzZone but the Sunbeam had more benefits in the long run for me. For example, the Sunbeam iron produced more heat, has a steam feature off and on if needed, and has less risk of burning yourself when touching the heat dial setting. Hope this review and the pictures help🤗

Compact, but leaks.
The size of this iron is perfect for small sewing projects which is what I bought it for. As mentioned in other reviews, the water reservoir doesn't fully shut and it leaks drops of water. The steam function works ok. There are moments when the water leaks out of the iron plate and doesn't steam. Overall, it's a decent iron for a quick pressing. I would not rely on this when traveling or for ironing anything larger than a small shirt.

Mini Iron
Does it's job it is small doesn't leak. It is good keep it on low if you're crafting with it as the iron gets hot fast. Easy to use, you get a good amount of steam from it being so small. Small so it's easy storage.

Sunbeam Hot 2 Trot
I bought the iron to take with us on our next cruise. I tested it out today to make sure it worked. To my surprise it works perfectly fine like a regular size iron. Heats up hot and it removed wrinkles quickly.It’s tiny enough that it won’t take up too much space in my luggage.

Super handy little iron
This iron is so small and lightweight that I had my doubts about it working, but it definitely does. Even when not using the steam feature it gets the wrinkles out and I love all the fabric settings. I’m getting ready to take it on a trip. It will be super easy to pack and come in so handy for ironing out packing wrinkles from clothes.

Works like a regular iron with steam and steam burst!
Update:The iron leaked water that seemed like it is laced with rust and it stained my new ironing board as well as my dress. Very disappointed and I would give it zero stars if there's an option for it. To think that I was so happy with the product before this and left a rather good review for it. The upsetting part of this is I've only used it for a merely a month or two. I would never have expected a steam iron to rust and it is not like I left water inside the tank for a long period of time. It had been emptied after my last use and thus I have no idea where did this "rusty water" come from. Amazon has refunded me but that did not compensate my ruined ironing board and dress. Not recommended!Previous review:I purchased this product mainly for my sewing projects that needed pressing and ironing. It works fine but it is definitely not the best. The usage of this product was fine and I could iron or press easily with or without steam. I love the steam burst function as many of my iron-on interfacings work better with steam burst function. This product is small and compact so I can easily stow it away in my ironing pad which folds up into a tote. However, there is no way to coil the wire neatly as you can see from the picture I have posted and this is one thing I dislike about it. The wire of this iron sticks out on the right and this makes it really difficult to iron as it will get in the way. And when I prop the iron up, I need to be careful that the wire would not pull the iron over. For most regular irons, wires usually come from the back and the irons usually have no problem propping up or staying up.Another thing that I dislike about this product is that it looks very cheaply made. Although I should not expect much from this price, I expected it to have a better look in its make. First and foremost, the product looks used when I received it. There were water stains near the mouth of the water tank and scratches on the body of the iron. Even after a replacement from Amazon, it does not look any different. There were still scratches and some stains on other random parts, so I just took it that it is probably a cheaply made product. The parts have many uneven finish which makes it look very poorly made. There is a also a mild burning smell that dissipates only after a few uses. But so far, I did not have much problems with it in terms of usage. Thus, I rate it 3 stars mainly just for the usage with the cosmetic part of being very disappointing and so is the wiring.If you are looking for just a travelling iron that works like an iron, this is definitely worth your money. But if you have a higher expectation and are looking for a nice looking iron that is a mini version of your regular iron, I would not pick this as my choice.
