Best Travel Irons for Holidays and Vacation

Those who often travel for business or pleasure and are searching for the perfect iron to take with them should definitely consider the Oliso M2. This steam iron packs the punch of a full-sized iron in a travel-friendly design, making it a great pick for frequent travelers, as well as seamstresses and hobbyists who need an iron for craft use.

To start off, the Oliso M2 provides an impressive 1000W of power. Thanks to this, it can make an easy job of removing stubborn creases from all of your clothes, be it delicate silk, synthetic or tough jeans and wool. It's also remarkable that it reaches the set temperature in just around 45 seconds, so you can have it hot whenever you want.

Along with its powerful heating capacity, the Oliso iron also provides a powerful steam burst that will facilitate your ironing chores, allowing you to easily handle even some of the worst wrinkles in a short time.

Also included is a fabric selector, which will give you accurate control over the temperature. So, you can achieve excellent results each time, while also eliminating the risk of burn and damage to the fabrics.

Regarding ergonomics, the Oliso M2 has a fairly small size. Measuring 10 x 5 x 6.5 inches and weighing 2.27 lbs, it's just a fracture bigger than the other models reviewed, yet still compact enough to easily fit in your suitcase and leave plenty of room for your other travel essentials.

Want to take your travel game to a whole new level? The Rowenta DA1560 might be able to help you with that. How exactly will it be able to accomplish that goal? Well, it definitely has something to do with the model's 1000W power. Though still a travel iron, it packs more of a regular iron punch. The model heats up in no time at all and it makes your clothes look neat and fresh just as fast.

With these travel appliances, part of the sell is ergonomics. There's only so much space in your suitcase and only so many items you can pack into it. With the Rowenta DA1560, it shouldn't be a problem. The iron features 8.6" x 4.9" x 3.9" in overall dimensions and 1.6 pounds in weight, so it isn't larger or heavier than your ordinary travel model. On top of that, the iron's handle folds flat, making storage or transportation even more convenient.

There's not much that you get from this deal other than the excellent iron. We like the drawstring cloth bag as it effortlessly serves as a nice little travel pouch. But we would like to see a European adapter as well. Unfortunately, it's not part of the package, so you'll have to buy one separately if you wish to travel abroad.

Functional, compact, and easy-to-use, Steamfast travel iron is a must-have appliance to take with you when you pack your luggage to go abroad. This SF-717 model from Steamfast features a dual voltage option so your clothes will look neat wherever you go. Even if you travel within the USA, this appliance will become your irreplaceable assistant in taking care of your garments. Although the power of this iron is less than in other similar models – only 400 Watts – it is enough for the iron to reach the maximum temperature of 360°F in the twinkling of an eye. The iron heats up to the maximum temperature in 60 seconds while only 15 seconds are enough for it to reach the lowest temperature setting. When the iron is heated up to the necessary temperature, the indicator light will inform you that the iron is ready to use. 

Thanks to the ability to work in one of several temperature settings, the Steamfast travel iron can handle both thin and thick fabric. One more advantage of this appliance is that it is a steam iron. It is equipped with a built-in water reservoir of 1.4 oz. It’s easy to track the water level through small windows and easy to fill it with a measuring cup that comes in the box. We’d also like you to pay attention to the rubber seal of the water reservoir that prevents leaks. The last but not the least feature to take notice of is a compact size and weight of the iron. The SF-717 fits your palm snugly and weighs less than a pound so ironing becomes as easy as anything. Also, don’t overlook a travel bag that comes in the box and makes storage and transportation of the Steamfast iron more convenient.

Whether you need to carry out light touch-ups or remove deep creases from your favorite clothes when you’re not at home, the Sunbeam travel iron will help you handle these tasks. What makes this appliance perfect for taking on vacation or a business trip? Let’s see. First of all, this model has a dual voltage feature that allows you to use it in the USA as well as in European countries. Secondly, the iron measures 6.53" x 3.4" x 3.11" and weighs 1.14 pounds so it won't take up much space in your suitcase nor will it add much load to your luggage. Probably, the most important thing that makes this iron an irreplaceable assistant on your trips is its functionality. 

The Sunbeam appliance has 800-Watt power that is enough to handle creases even on firm fabric effortlessly. Just like the majority of portable travel irons out there, this model has variable temperature controls so that you can select the suitable one depending on the type of fabric you have at hand. It’s easy to set the necessary temperature with an easy-to-use dial located right at your fingertips. As soon as the iron reaches the heat level you’ve chosen, the indicator light will tell you that it’s ready to use. 

One more thing that allows the Sunbeam appliance to handle any types of fabric is its non-stick soleplate that glides over any material effortlessly. In addition to various temperature settings, this model has Shot of Steam feature that will definitely come in handy when it comes to ironing thick types of fabrics or deep creases. To use this option, you need to press two buttons located on both sides of the iron’s body. Thanks to this very design, the Sunbeam iron is convenient to use for right-handed as well as left-handed people. To use the steam feature, you also need to have water inside the iron’s reservoir. It is quite large and transparent so you always have full control over the water level. Finally, don’t overlook the pointed tip of this model that makes ironing of small details such as pockets, collars, lapels, etc. as easy as anything.

Ivation IVATI02 isn't necessarily the most well-balanced product, mostly because its power is underwhelming compared to just about any high-end travel iron. But we can't say that the model doesn't make up for any shortcomings in that department.

Sure, it isn't powerful but, functionality-wise, this is an excellent iron. It is packed with just about every feature present on the market today and that is impressive considering the below-average price tag that the model comes with.

First and foremost, we like that the model comes equipped with 3 heat power levels ranging between 140˚F and 428˚F. Different fabrics require different temperatures, so it is always nice to have additional options.

Again, its power is hardly impressive. But one could argue it was sacrificed in favor of heating time. More often than not, it takes the iron precisely 15 seconds to sufficiently heat up and be ready for work and that is nothing short of impressive.

Its weight and overall dimensions are great too, measuring just 5.3" x 2.9" x 3.1" and barely going above 1 pound in the weight department.

Nevertheless, the model's cord is just as long as it is in other, larger travel irons. With 7.5 feet in length, the cord will allow you to position the device relatively far from the electrical socket.
