Product Features
Fabric Selector
The fabric selector allows for an effortless switch between fabrics such as synthetics, wool, and cotton. Selecting a fabric will allow the Mini Project Iron to heat to the perfect temperature, maintaining an even heat for each of these fabrics. The Mini also features one-press steam control, making steaming quick and easy.
Diamond Coated Ceramic Soleplate
The diamond coated ceramic soleplate maintains an even heat, perfect for any ironing project. With the smooth finish, the soleplate allows the Mini Project Iron to effortlessly glide over fabrics. The precision tip gets into otherwise hard to reach places, ideal for appliqués, tight spots, and corners.
SoleMate
The dual-purpose SoleMate is included with every Mini Project Iron. The silicone trivet is perfect for travel and storage. The hook and cord tether keep the iron out of the way and neatly kept when not in use. The SoleMate also functions as a safe place to rest the Mini Project Iron during an ironing project, preventing burns and scorching of fabrics.
Pivot Cord & 1000 Watts of Power
The 8 foot long, 180° pivot cord allows for both right and left handed use, all while keeping the cord out of the way. And with 1000 Watts of power, the Mini Project Iron packs all the power of a full-sized iron, heating up fast yet fitting right next to a sewing machine or in a travel bag. The Mini Project Iron also features universal voltage, easily switching between 120v or 240v, perfect for travel.
Proper Usage Tip #1: Hand position
To avoid burn injuries, place your hand on top of the iron, keeping your fingers away from the hot soleplate.
Proper Usage Tip #2: Turn temperature to Setting 1 when resting your iron
Prior to resting your iron, make sure the iron temperature is on setting 1 (low temp). Do not rest your iron with the temperature setting in position 2 (medium temp) or position 3 (high temp).
Proper Usage Tip #3: Use the the "Resting Side" of you Solemate when resting your iron
The dual purpose solemate functions as a safe place to rest your iron and for storage. The "resting side" lets the hot soleplate safely rest every time during ironing and protects fabrics. The "storage side" easily snaps to the soleplate, for easy transportation and storage.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2022PERFECTION. I use a hot hot hot iron because I’m too impatient to wait 3-5 seconds for a good press. I’ve had many travel irons. Particularly the one w collapsing handle that permanently collapsed on 3 irons, This Oliso is the hottest of hot irons on the #2 setting. I always used highest level of heat which would be 3. It’s comfortable for osteoarthritis hands but would be happier if it weighed less like the cheap black.decker. Iron is a super smooth Teflon n the iron glides over your fabric. I don’t intend to use water as I’d be turning iron off n on all day. Take time to read directions. The settings on the iron r difficult for 73 yr old eyes to see intend to use a marker. I also got a matching case. Be careful. The one w mesh in top fits the oliso perfectly One drawback is that it isn’t an auto shutoff, but sometimes the auto shutoff is a pain. I just changed out my extension cord n just power ET off
- Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2023I bought this iron just over a year ago. The temperature setting dial has always felt a bit wonky to me (it wobbled), but I chalked it up to my never having an Oliso before. Also, the steam feature never quite worked - water just dripped out the steam holes. But I rarely needed steam so just lived with it.
Three weeks ago the temp dial just began spinning freely and the iron stopped heating up. I contacted Customer Service and got an email response in less than 2 hours. "Emma" wrote back. She asked for a description of what the iron was doing and a short (10-15 second) video. Again, only 2 hours later, she sent me a postage-paid label and asked me to ship her the defective iron. A replacement iron was shipped and is waiting for me at home today.
Wow! In this day and age, to have excellent client care like this is truly amazing. I can't say enough about Emma and Oliso for taking care of my problem! Oliso has a customer for life :)
- Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2023Like that it’s small but gets really hot when needed. Only thing is I wish it was cordless since I use in my craft room and have so many corded things already. Love the color and the plate to cover and also set it on.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2021Received the first iron but, after a few days of using, I realized that the steam function was not working. Emailed Oliso, received a reply within 24 hours but no suggestion in the response corrected the steam problem. I returned the iron via Amazon and received a new one the next day. Thankfully, it works properly.
So far, here's what I like:
The size is wonderful when handling the small pieces for children's garments.
The steam feature is gentle but effective.
The silicone mat is great and I like the fact that the iron can be left on it between uses.
What I'm unsure about:
The price is hefty for the iron's functionality.
The iron has its place in my sewing/ironing/crafting tool arsenal but it does not replace a full size iron.
It may be a great iron for travel but an assessment will have to wait until travel is a reality.
The steam is gentle and may have limitations.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2021heats great and easy to use. very light weight. keep in mind to use more pressure due to the light weight of this. perfect for travel and for small piecing projects if you are a quilter. steam feature works well with push buttons in convenient location when gripping the iron.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2023The iron works great. When I first got it, the steam did not work. I called the 800 number and that woman told me that it needed to be primed. Once I did that the steam worked perfectly they should have that you need to prime it in the directions.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2023UPDATE:
After 8 months of light use, it discolored. I don’t know whether it’s safe to use but won’t risk starting a fire so trashed it. It was difficult to use and always felt unsafe (burned fingers, resting on its face, etc.), so I’m not sorry to see it go—I just regret the financial waste.
————-
Fortunately I got this at a “used like new” price, because like so many others, it was DOA. The reservoir isn’t big enough to make adequate steam anyway, so 🤷🏼♀️.
Cons: It’s a fussy little bugger. The cord prevents you from safely standing it on end; you’re not supposed to leave it on high; it’s hard to hold; you MUST rest it on the silicon mat which is inconveniently small; yadda yadda yadda. You’ve read the reviews. They’re right.
Pros: It does heat up extremely fast, and it fits inside my 4” embroidery hoop, which was kind of the point of buying it.
Conclusion: It’s too expensive even at a discount, but I’m not sure there’s anything better out there; so I will probably keep it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A necessity for Quilting!
Love this little iron. It is sturdy and steamy and certainly less bulky than my regular sized iron. Perfect for use with my quilting projects!
- Christine PetiteReviewed in Canada on September 7, 2023
5.0 out of 5 stars Mini iron - Fabulous!
What a fantastic little iron, small but mighty. A staple tool for me as a quilter. I find I rarely use my full size one any more!
- A. TriskaReviewed in Canada on August 28, 2023
4.0 out of 5 stars Handy
It is handy little gadget to have but steam is not that great. Does not give the crisp seam you want on cotton.
- Sandi McGReviewed in Canada on June 26, 2023
3.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the price
This iron doesn't get as hot as my $25 iron I got from a big box store. I'm very disappointed as I'd heard such great things about these irons for sewing and quilting. Sadly, I no longer have the box.
- JoanReviewed in Canada on December 29, 2023
5.0 out of 5 stars I’m in love
I use this iron for quilting and I absolutely love it. It’s light weight so my shoulder doesn’t get sore when ironing. Would buy this again in a heartbeat!
