Encasa XOSilicon Mat for Hot Iron Rest - Heat Resistant, Anti - Slip, Thicker Pad for Protecting Your Table During Ironing, Non-Burning, Machine Washable, Durable - Grey

This a a pretty cool gadget. I always end up knocking off my iron because I have it setting upright OR/ burn the iron cover. This allows you to set the iron down flat and keep it flat not upright. No more unplugging the iron constantly so you don't knock it off. I really like this pad.

Useful, essential

The media could not be loaded. I was about to click on “buy” on a $200 iron and thankfully I didn’t. This one was about $40 and does everything the expensive ones do. It’s 1800 watts, heats up quickly, the temperature is easy to set, and it shuts off automatically. It is quite heavy and it doesn’t raise automatically off the fabric like the fancy ones do, so I place it on a silicone pad when I’m finished with it. The ceramic surface is a bit different that I am used to. Not quite as slick but on the other hand, neither starch or fusible interfacing sticks to it. I haven’t had to clean it once and the surface still looks brand new. I use my iron a lot because sewing is my hobby. I wanted to wait to write a review because I was concerned that for what I paid for it, it might not last. I’ve had it for 8 months now and it isn’t leaking and it’s still working beautifully. I usually buy a new iron every few years because I use them so much, so this is a major savings for me. I like to take my time, do my research, and then buy the best quality I can afford, so hoping my review is helpful for someone else.

Thin but serve its purpose.

Does protect my countertop from my arm
