User questions & answers

Question:	Is this made in America
Answer:	No, it's not cordless. It has a 10 foot long, swivel cord.
Question:	Where is this made
Answer:	Yes it includes the Dual-Purpose Lint Brush and Steam Diffuser, Fiber Brush, Steam Handle. Thank you!
Question:	Has anyone burned the silicone solemate by leaving the temp on 3 all the time rather than turning down to 1 between every use
Answer:	Do you have it secured tightly in the water receptacle? Where is the water coming from? If from the steam vents, this should not happen and maybe you got a lemon. I have two and this has never happened,
Question:	I am so forgetful to unplug my iron. Does this turn off if I forget to unplug it for a day or two
Answer:	Sorry, I am unable to answer that question. There is nothing on the unit itself, and I went through the owners guide, and it's not indicated in there either. I suggest you call Sunbeam customer service at 1-800-458-8407. Or maybe Amazon can put you in touch with the distributor who could answer that for you.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it auto shut off
Answer:	Quoting what Jeff F just said. These razors are NOT ProGlides even though they advertised it as such. The insert inside the package is just an advertisement to TRY the ProGlide. The order i just received today are the original Fusion blades.
Question:	can this iron be used without water
Answer:	These are authentic Gilette blades. Many years ago I spoke to Gilette customer service and they told me how to verify if blades were authentic or knock offs. On the back of the plastic that holds the blade just under the piece that pivots there are code numbers, about 8 digits. Counter fitters do not have the ability to place these tiny code numbers onto the plastic, and in truth who actually knows about this. The blades sent from Amazon have these code numbers.
Question:	Can I download the instructions? I lost all that and can't remember what all the buttons mean
Answer:	I find it really hard to believe that people can shave their entire face 31 times with a single blade. But, that's not what Gillette claim. They say it lasts a month, but really they mean it lasts 8 to 10 shaves. For me, I would need to trim my beard before I shaved if I waited that long between uses. I would say that if you can grow a full beard 1 blade a week is what you can expect to get from these blades. That said, the one week works better than any other disposable blade on the market. Gillette will never sell you 1 blade for $1 as long as they still cost a nickle to make.
Question:	I'm looking for a compact iron for my sewing (pressing seams and whatnot). Does anyone use this for that purpose and does it work well? TIA
Answer:	Your level of testosterone varies over time. A normal range for a man is typically 300–1000 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL). Each use of a Gillette product reduces your testosterone level by an indeterminant quantity. Regular testosterone level testing will be important if (1) you want to remain a man, and (2) you use Gillette blades on a regular basis.

User questions & answers

Question:	would this work to cover planes with something liek Monokote
Answer:	It is used as a small iron, not sure if it will work for plastic that is normally shrink wrapped. The directions on the iron state that the temperature is for poyester and cotton. Low setting is 140 degress and the high setting is 220.
Question:	would this work for iron on melamine shelf edging
Answer:	It’s a craft iron intended for use in crafting and sewing projects.
Question:	Is this good for applique work? I was hoping to find one for just that purpose. Something i can use quickly and small enough for my small pieces. TIA
Answer:	I use it for machine applique with my embroidery machine. the machine does a placement stitch, then I put on my applique which has a fusible on it and iron it on while leaving it all in the hoop. This little iron works great for this. I also used it for applying iron-on bias tape to an applique project. It worked great for that too.
Question:	Has anyone used this with heat tranafer vinyl for small projects like a shoe or coffee mug
Answer:	CLOVER MINI IRON is designed for pressing seams, ribbons, hems, corners, point and other activities such as quilting, applique’, paper crafts etc.… but many crafters use their creativity to extend its use to other applications.The use of Mini Iron in Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV) on Fabric is definitely common and proved to be successful, provided you use the right HTV Brand and type that could be applied at a temperature that the mini iron can handle. For other supports such as coffee mugs, there is no a clear answer to the question on if the HTV can be applied successfully or not. The results reached by the crafters that tried it vary from failure to full success. The only way to figure it out is to try it yourself.I hope this answer satisfy you. As a seller my objective is to provide the most accurate and honest product information, but as this information is collected from external sources ( Manufacturers, suppliers, users reviews etc.) it has not been verified by us.
Question:	Can this product remove crease from a tumbled leather jordan
Answer:	Probably but you would have to be extremely careful not to melt the item
Question:	Could this be used to iron seams flat in areas that are difficult to reach with a standard size iron
Answer:	Yes this can. That’s basically what this item is for. Love this item.
Question:	How hot does it get
Answer:	302-356F (150-180C) and 464-545F (240-285C), according to the manufacturer. It's shown in one of the pictures, not the word salad description, and this is reasonable question. I hope this answer is actually helpful.
Question:	Has anyone used this to iron on a small patch to clothing? Does it get hot enough
Answer:	Very hot!!! Can burn your fingers quick. Love it for my small quilt pieces

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it have automatic shut off? For my sewing needs, I DO NOT want this feature
Answer:	Made by Oliso based in San Francisco.
Question:	Does this iron have an on/off switch
Answer:	Hi thanks for reaching out, please not our mini project irons are designed in USA manufactured in Greater China. Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions.
Question:	I am looking for a small iron to use on Perler beads. Does this item get hot enough
Answer:	Hi, please be advised, if you have to keep the mini iron on the silicon pad then you need to ensure to keep it on the resting side when you are using the iron, however it is not recommended to keep the iron on the third dot for long time as this will will heat up higher and may cause some burning impression on the solemate. We suggest you to keep the iron one dot or turn off the steam selector when not in use, since this heats up really quick you do not have to keep in the highest settings for long time. If you still have any questions please feel free to contact us so that we may assist you.
Question:	Does it glide well, does it steam well and does the cord get in the way. Want it for next to my sewing machine
Answer:	NO, that is what makes this little iron so useful, its always hot when you want it. I have the same problem of forgetting, so I can understand your concern, but I love this iron so much that I have made it a habit to double check before turning off my machine. Hope you find this helpful.

User questions & answers

Question:	can it be used as a hot knife with the included blades
Answer:	It could be used as a hot knife on something thin like the thin sheets of plastic to make stencils. I don't think it has enough heat to go through anything thicker.
Question:	What tips come with it, says 5, what are they
Answer:	The Mini Iton II by clover comes with a stand, sm. iron tip, lrg. Iron tip, ball tip, slim line tip, hot knife tip, blade refill & screwdriver.
Question:	What is the heat range
Answer:	This is from the information sheet with my mini iron. Low setting is approx. 220 degree F. Mid setting is approx. 390 degree F. High setting is approx. 560 degree F. It takes about 10 minutes for the iron to reach the max temperature. I strongly advise you to purchase separately the Clover cooling stand made of heat-resistant material to control the iron. The stand that comes with the iron is not steady and accidents happen. I found out a bad burn heals very slowly. That caution given, I am pleased with the iron. I do hand applique quilts and it presses the crisp edges and sharp points very well on cotton quilting fabric. Lois B.
Question:	what is the temperature range in F
Answer:	Hi,With adaptor iron tip (small) Low is 220°F, Mid is 390°F & High is 560°F With adaptor iron tip (large) Low is 185°F, Mid is 340°F & High is 480°F With adaptor Ball tip Low is 210°F, Mid is 400°F & High is 580°F With adaptor Slim line tip Low is 200°F, Mid is 355°F & High is 500°F With adaptor Hot Knife Low is 185°F, Mid is 340°F & High is 480°FAll temps are approximate, but are extremely happy with it, and like anything with heat, you have to take due care, because this little iron packs a mean heat ( scars to prove it).A must have item for the crafter person.Hope this helps

User questions & answers

Question:	should the shaft move
Answer:	Mine wiggles too. The shaft is only held on by a couple of flimsy spot welds so anything more than very light pressure on the tip will crack the welds and make the shaft loose.
Question:	What temperatures are available
Answer:	According to the manufacturer's web site FAQ page: LOW Approx. 220 Fahrenheit = 104.44 celsius, MIDDLE Approx. 390 = 198.89 c, HIGH Approx 560 = 293.33 c
Question:	i need something like this to transfer patterns to wood. I don't know if it gets hot enough though. does anyone know
Answer:	I can confirm that it does work for doing image transfers to wood. I use tshirt transfer paper that I print out on my inkjet. I set the mini iron II on the highest setting and the large tip(also available on Amazon). I burnish the transfer completely with the mini iron and allow it to cool completely before peeling away the backing on the transfer paper. If you don't wait until it has cooled it will stick and ruin the transfer. It does slightly burn the wood. I tried it on the medium setting at first but I don't think that was hot enough or maybe I peeled off the backing too soon.
Question:	Has anyone had this long enough to know if it is a quality product that will work and last awhile
Answer:	Yes I have used it and find it very handy with the doll cloths. Lugging out the huge iron for small projects was a pain now I just plug it in turn it on and it is small enough to stay close by. I think you will like this product.
