Travel Irons

Marg

My current travel iron weighs 560 grams.

I always struggle to travel within the baggage allowance and am thinking of getting a new travel iron BUT those I've seen on line don't actually give the weight!! essential information I would have thought.

Can anyone recommend a steam travel iron lighter than 560 grams inc flex & UK plug?

I never take an iron. Creases usually drop out, & if they dont I hang the item in the bathroom whilst im showering & the steam gets rid of them.

I saw a really small one in M&S in the summer.

But is it really worth it? Is say a 300g iron going to make much difference, out of say 20kg allowance?

Depending on where you are going there is often an iron tucked in the wardrobe, or reception might have one you could borrow (or maybe rent?). I second the shower idea though - works great.

Never take a travel iron. For work there's usually one provided in the room. When on holiday in cheaper places without irons I don't find myself that bothered by creases.

How coem you alwasy struggle to stay within the baggage allowance, just be minimalistic, i wouldnt bother with an iron personally as im on holiday and i dont want to be spending time ironing clothes plus the weight/space could be more useful for something else. I am a guy and i do like to avoid using an iron as much as possible
