Review submitted for Steamfast Home-and-Away Mini Travel Steam Iron (SF-717) (STSF717)
Pros: Great Value For The Money, Clear Instructions, Solid construction, Performs Perfectly, Useful For Travel, Easy To Use
Cons:
Other Comments: Am an avid quilter and find it helpful to have this little gem right next to my sewing machine as I sew. Alternative is getting up and down to use a full-size iron and ironing board. Helpful to be able to use steam or not.

Review submitted for Steamfast Home-and-Away Mini Travel Steam Iron (SF-717) (STSF717)
Pros:
Cons:
Other Comments: Been using for few months now. How easily this little iron gets the wrinkles out, especially with the steam function. A regular-sized steam iron is probably more cumbersome than using this small one. It heats up fast, too. I haven't traveled with it yet but look forward to it when I'll need to.

4 out of 5 stars   Cute little iron that can
By Ayse on May 28, 2013

Review submitted for Steamfast Home-and-Away Mini Travel Steam Iron (SF-717) (STSF717)
Pros: Easy To Use
Cons:
Other Comments: I bought this for patchwork and for that it is good. It heats up quickly and so it is very suitable for craft work or sewing. And if you sort of wrap the cord around your wrist it won't keep gathering (and wrinkling) the fabric you just may have ironed. But if you have a lot of ironing of any kind and not a lot of time, patience or are energy minded, this iron is too small to take that on at one time, because you would have to keep refilling the water container and waiting for it to heat up each time. I haven't used it for travel abroad yet, but when I do, I will have to buy a plug adaptor; it does not come with any that fit in other countries, it only has the US plug. All in all, it is what they say it is, small, compact, fast to heat up and so far, seems reliable (I have only been using it for about 3 weeks.

5 out of 5 stars   You can finally press ladies clothes!
By Fashionable Professional on April 15, 2012
Review submitted for Steamfast Home-and-Away Mini Travel Steam Iron (SF-717) (STSF717)
Pros: Simple controls, Easy to store, Water port, Fill Cup, Size
Cons: Cord Location
Other Comments: I have several clothing items that are very tailored, which means no single section of fabric is large enough for the footprint of a standard iron. I always ended up with unintentional creases being formed by the iron, doubling my work. Furthermore details like ruffles, pleats, and darts were impossible to work strategically with a standard-sized iron. This little guy, only slightly longer than the palm of my hand, gets into all those little spaces without dragging a big back-end along and ruining what you've just pressed! It's also practically weightless, so I feel far less fatigue after ironing several garments. It did not remove the factory-press in a new pair of linen/rayon pants, but after the first wash maybe it will. My only complaint is the location of the cord; down on the right side next to the sole plate rather than out the top like standard irons, it tends to drag along the garment and catch on corners more often. I recommend a little cord-lifting antenna on your ironing board if you can. For those who do a lot of pressing, I recommend having both a standard and this mini plugged in simultaneously; you can switch between them for large areas and details like you would switch tools in any other area of the home. For a half-dozen garments or less, though, this will do well. Hooray, I finally can press clothes that are anything but flat!

Pros: Easy To Use
Cons:
Other Comments: This is a great little iron! I was skeptical about how well it would work, given that it is so small, but No Worries! It may be small (which is high on my list of requirements), but it is every bit a quality iron.

Review submitted for Steamfast Home-and-Away Mini Travel Steam Iron (SF-717) (STSF717)
Pros: Easy To Use, Small neat compact, Works well
Cons:
Other Comments: Fits easily into small duffle or suitcase. Heats up quickly & well. Great to handle - well-designed easy grip. Tiny and cute, yet capable of substantial ironing. Cord is a good length. I appreciate the inclusion of the little water vessel for pouring water into the iron. Also appreciate fact that included cloth case carries both the iron and the water container.

5 out of 5 stars   Great little iron - suprising performanc
By Knoxvillian on November 18, 2011
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Steamfast Home-and-Away Mini Travel Steam Iron (SF-717) (STSF717)
Pros: Easy to Pack, Small Size, Heats Quickly
Cons: none
Other Comments: I travel somewhat frequently and wanted to purchase either a portable steamer or iron to press clothes after unpacking. I read other reviews of this portable iron and decided to give it a try. I am sending this review from Erlangen, Germany (I live in the SE US) where I had to give a presentation to about 120 professional colleagues. As luck would have it, I missed my connecting flight in the US and my bag showed up a day late. However, using this iron and a voltage adapeter, I was able to press my suit, shirt, and tie and looked like I had just come from home. The iron heats very quickly (20-30 seconds), steams just the right amount, and fits easily in the palm of my hand. I'm glad I chose the iron over the steamer and especially glad I chose this little jewel.

Review submitted for Steamfast Home-and-Away Mini Travel Steam Iron (SF-717) (STSF717)
Pros: Light weight compact, Easy To Use
Cons: Not good as regular iron
Other Comments: I travel regularly and was looking for compact iron for the same purpose.This one almost fits into that requirement. Light weighed, compact and usable through multiple countries with the voltage converter option. Looks durable and easy to use. But for sure this not a replacement for regular size irons.
