Features

Diamond Coated Ceramic soleplate

Diamond-coated ceramic soleplate is suitable for all ironing projects. If you’re a big fan of quilting and crafting, this iron is a must-buy.

This unique soleplate lets you smooth corners and tight spots of garments. So, don’t worry about wrinkle-free clothes anymore. After all, you will get better ironing results like full-size iron.

My wife uses this iron for quilting, and its detailer tip can easily polish small ¼ “seams. Most importantly, the overall finishing is praiseworthy.  

Solemate

M2 pro mini iron comes with a dual purpose Solemate to make storage and travel simple.

When you’re going to iron many clothes, you may feel tired after a while. Sometimes, you need to rest the iron. However, such practices may burn your favorite dresses. That’s why this iron serves you with a Solemate to protect clothes from burn and scorch marks.  

High Power

Because of its tiny size, you shouldn’t expect M2 Pro to have too high power. However, it comes with 1000 watts of power. As a result, it can reach the highest level of temperature in just 45 seconds! Amazing!

So, this small iron offers you the advantages of a full-sized iron. Most importantly, its small footprint can make room by your sewing machine or in your luggage easily.

Universal voltage

Moreover, it comes with a dual voltage option- 120V and 240V. Utilize 120 V while in the US and 240V when you travel outside of the US. This option makes it ideal for traveling.

Interestingly, many expensive irons may not have universal voltage features. So, if you’re going to travel very recently, purchase this iron right now. Oh, don’t forget to pick a scissor or screwdriver to change the voltage.

8 feet cord with 180-degree pivot cord

With a regular cord, you may face difficulty in handling it. So, if you live in a rented small space, this 8 foot 180-degree swivel cord may give you some comfort.

However, it’s not that long. So, it will help if you restrict iron to a specific area of your iron. Or, you may use an extension cord to solve this problem.  

Manual Fabric selector

This feature allows you to set the perfect temperature for fabric. It’s located on the handle to access it without any trouble.

This selector has three settings. The first one, low temperature, is for synthetics. The second and third one is medium temperature and high temperature. The medium setting is suitable for wool and silk, while the high is for linen and cotton.

There is a blue light around the dial, and the light will turn solid light when it achieved the desired temperature.

Steam burst

With this Mini Project Iron, you’ll get steam burst also. Spraying steam over clothes is super easy. Just use one-press steam button located on the side of the iron. When steam is ready, lights on the steam button will be lit up.

To produce steam perfectly, set the fabric selector to second or third settings. Then, utilize the steam button located on the side of iron.

However, those who have arthritis or carpal tunnel problem may feel pretty problem operating this button. Moreover, its steam isn’t that powerful compared to regular and high-prized irons like Rowenta DW7180.

Water tank

Its tiny water tank can hold almost a quarter cup of water. You can fill this tank with a cup or directly from tap. So, you don’t need to buy any fill cups.

There is a window on the side to observe the water level. You don’t need to use distilled water or bottled fountain water. Instead, use tap water.

The thing about the water tank that fascinated me is that it doesn’t drip. I enjoy this while ironing.

Warranty Description

This iron comes with a three years limited warranty from the manufacturer directly. To know more information, visit the manufacturer’s website.

Unlike most irons, this iron is manufactured in the US. So, you can put your trust easily in it and improve your ironing experience.

Ergonomic Handle

This little iron comes with a comfortable and ergonomic handle. When you extend your hand on it, you feel like you are working with a computer mouse. Because of that, this iron is comfortable than ever.  

The temperature dial is on the button. All buttons are easy to read and suitable for all ages.

However, the handle may be a little bit warm, provided that you use it for a longer duration.
