 Hi you guys, Lindsay here. Welcome back to my channel, Inside to Him. So who has seen an iron cuter than this little guy? I honestly had never even considered owning a mini iron or project iron or travel iron or anything like that in the past. I've walked past them in the aisles of Joanne numerous times and just always thought, what do I need that for? I've got an iron. But Alyssa just came out with this one. It's a counterpart to their TG1600 that I've talked to you guys about before with the auto lift technology. And I just could not resist trying it out. And what I found was that I actually prefer it to my larger iron for many, many different tasks. I had no idea how cumbersome and kind of annoying it was to maneuver that large iron around some seams and some areas that I wanted to press for my projects. So I put together a little list of some ways that I have been using the mini iron to finish off my projects. Now, I've been taking these videos over the course of a couple of months. So you're going to see different fabrics and I'm in different outfits and there's probably different lighting situations happening. But I was just kind of like as I was going and reaching for the mini iron thinking, here's another great example of a way that I prefer to use the mini iron over the larger iron. All of those practical uses for the mini iron that in my opinion are honestly a better experience than using the larger iron. This mini iron happens to be superb. It happens to be excellent. Like I said, I've never used a mini iron before, so I don't have a lot to compare it to. But whenever I look up reviews or read about mini irons, what I see more often than not is that they don't get hot enough. The heat is not consistent. The steam is kind of like lackluster and they're super hard to use properly. I feel like what Aliso has done is really taken their mac daddy version and just shrunk it down. Honey, I shrunk the kids right here. This works just as well as the full size iron. The steam works wonderfully and it gets super hot and super even. It even has this like precision point on the plate here. The plate uses diamond coated ceramic. So that's how you know it gets super hot and the heat is distributed evenly. It also has an epic eight foot cord, which from what I see is kind of unheard of whenever it comes to travel irons. And it's like ergonomic. Like this little like rounded part here just fits so easily in the ball of your hand, making it easy to navigate around all of your projects. It's got multi heat settings, all kinds of different heat settings for different types of fabric. I don't know. I just feel like this guy is just like if this is the only iron that I had and I didn't have a big one. I can't honestly say that I would not be able to sew complete garments just with this little guy. Maybe that'll be like a fun challenge that I'll do. Sew an entire dress using just a mini travel iron. That would be hysterical. But in addition to the iron, you also get this ingenious little silicone resting tray that they have coined the soulmate. How cute is that? And it has two sides. One is your storage side where the iron actually gets like snugly fits into the plate itself and doesn't go anywhere. Or you can use the resting side where it's just meant for the iron to sit on top and has some vents for the heat to kind of travel through so it's not just a whole bunch of heat in one little area. And you can obviously lift it and put it back down as you are going through your projects. So this little guy is fantastic. They literally just put them on sale. They've been preordered up until this week. And now they are for sale open to the public. Anybody can purchase them.

I hope that this video showing you how I've been using it the past couple months helps you see how it is a valuable tool to have in your sewing room. And you will grab one for yourself. If you do that, please let me know in the comment section below. I would love to know how you're going to be using it. Are you a quilter? I think this will be great for like those little squares and those little itty bitty seams. The mini irons perfect for that. Or if you sew doll clothes or children's clothes also invaluable. Or if you're like me and you just sew women's clothes, you know, I'd love to know what tasks you are looking forward to using the iron with. But that's going to do it for me today. Thank you so much for watching and I will see you all very soon. Bye
