Swan SI3070N Compact, Steam Travel Iron, with Pouch and Beaker, Variable Temperature Control, 900W, Purple

I was a little unsure about a travel iron due to the mixed reviews, i wanted it primarily for my sewing room but also for the occasional holiday, although who irons on holiday!!! It's a good size, comfortable and easy to use, ironed well, heated up quickly and was as hot as you'd expect, removed creases, it's a better design than it looks. It's a small iron so lightweight in that respect. If you over fill it, it does indeed leak but then so do all irons.

It's advertised as a travel iron but in a small home with limited storage space and only a few garment that need a 'proper iron', then this little iron fits the bill perfectly. Does all the things a big iron does, but with a smaller footprint. Nice weight to it, sturdy and the hand rests rather than a handle works really well. Feels very secure in your hand.

Irons really well however at high temperature it is a burn risk as there's no handle that is away from the heated parts. It also leaks a little. Would recommend highly however use a heat protection glove for safety.

Absolutely love this little iron. More steam than my normal iron. Small and compact. Ideal for travel

The iron itself is good. It was just the seller that I had problems with. This first one came with a torn cardboard cover for the soleplate, no instruction leaflet and a crack in the body just above the soleplate where it had landed after being dropped. So I put in a return request. After it was returned the company seemed slow in dealing with my replacement. At one point I had to ask them what the latest news was on my replacement. After an exchange of messages and 2 weeks had gone by I received my replacement which came in a weak, flimsy box with a large hole in it where, I assume, something heavy had landed on it. The object also made a hole in the side of the box that held the iron. Luckily there was no damage to the iron. I noticed some residue on the soleplate and had to clean it off. After it was clean I then noticed 2 very small dents in the soleplate and a slight crease in the soleplate near the tip of the iron. I got the impression that I had received someone else’s return. I tried the iron and it works okay. I have not actually ironed anything, I just filled it with water and switched it on. I have decided to keep it as it will still do the job and the blemishes I found are quite minimal. All in all I didn’t have a good experience with this purchase which is probably why I paid £11.51 for it.

Watch you don’t burn yourself - not easy to handle although does 5he job

Last minute purchase as our old iron was broken. Turned out to be a blessing. It's much better than the one we had. Cost twice as much but well worth it for the job it does. I think the steel soleplate makes all the difference. It irons denim perfectly - great steam function. Plus a steam shot for stubborn creases. The heat level is adjustable. It only weighs half a kilo - ideal for travel luggage. Its style takes a little getting used to, but you'll move past this as soon as you see how good it irons. It feels quite strong so hopefully lasts a long time. Plus you have the Swan 2 year guarantee.

Got this for my holidays as my old one kept leaking this is amazing it is nice and small sand very easy to use it gets hot really quickly and it does not leak and water it is lightweight and easy to use it gets the creases or really easy and had lots of settings to choose from.
