Question 1

For those who have used both, how does this compare to the Clover mini-iron w/ different tips?

Accepted Answer

This is a late answer, but for anyone else who is wondering... I have both and use both for different things. This dritz one heats up much, much faster than the clover, but it's also a bit bulkier. The clover one can get into much smaller areas which is more helpful to me when making purses. For any projects that aren't too difficult to get to, the dritz one is my go to as it's so much quicker to heat up. Any real difficult areas to get to, I wait for the clover to heat up. I also use the clover for things like heat cutting with the hot razor attachment and for molding paper or fabric flowers with the ball attachment.

For safety, this one seems to be a little safer as the clover has more hot areas that are exposed. But let's face it, they're irons and you have to use caution with both of them. Hope this helps!

Question 2

Voltage 220 or 110V?

Accepted Answer

Here in the US the standard is 110V with a couple of breakers set up with 220 for the dryer and such.  You can tell a 220 because they're the ones with the big plug with tines that come out in a triangle.  I believe the EU uses 220.  Adapters have to be used when you jump the pond.

Question 3

How big is the iron face and what does it mean by adjustable?

Accepted Answer

I just measured the face of the iron to be sure.  It is 1 inch wide at the widest point. It is 2 1/2 inches long and the point is very small.  There are two adjustments, one is the wire bar that holds it up (so the face does not burn whatever it is sitting on) the other is the heat adjustment.  This iron heats fast and if you keep a spray bottle of water nearby to add some steam it works great.  It shuts off automatically as well.  I have never burned myself on this iron.

Question 4

How does this iron work for very small applique pieces?

Accepted Answer

It's appropriately designed for small piece ironing.
