Compact Handheld Travel Iron with Aluminium Soleplate

Small enough to pack, this handheld iron is built for the situations where a full ironing setup isn't available — a dormitory room, a hotel, a suitcase before a meeting. It weighs little and takes up the space of a folded shirt.

An aluminium plate heats quickly and spreads heat evenly across the surface, smoothing creases from shirts, collars and hems with a few passes. Operation is mechanical and single-setting, so there is nothing to configure: switch on, wait for it to reach temperature, and work. The rated power is 30W and the voltage range covers 110 to 240V, suiting travel across regions. Plug type is available in flat or round fitting.

The body is solid rather than folding, in a choice of dark green or a glitter finish. Suited to touch-ups and small jobs rather than a full week's laundry.
