This iron heats quickly, and that is about the only good thing it does. The only way to turn it on or off is by plugging or unplugging it. There are no heat setting indicators, only one temp and it doesn't say what that is. There is also no automatic turn off. It will stay on for as long as you have it plugged in. If you need to iron something quickly that is small, then this will do the job. However, if you have anything that needs more precise temperature settings, it is best to use something else.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello TBeam, thank you for taking the time to write to us about your experience with the EasyPress Mini LT. We really appreciate your feedback want you to know we take all feedback seriously. I will make sure I pass this information onto the appropriate team to review.
Some times you need to apply heat to small items . When the regular heat press is way too much and the area you need is small this mini press is perfect.
The heat on the cricut mini press does not stay hot It shuts on and off while using it

Hi Deb, We apologize for the inconvenience. This does not seem right. Please contact our Member Care with your details so that we can take a look at this for you and get you back to crafting.
I found this easy mini light did not work as well as the mini. Tried several times to sublimate earrings. I used my mini and it worked well. Would not buy again. Would like to return.

Thank you for your review of the EasyPress Mini LT. We’re sorry to hear that this version didn’t perform as well for you as the original. That’s certainly not the experience we want our customers to have. We want to let you know that the Mini LT does not get as hot as the EasyPress Mini, and that is why it is not doing as well with Sublimation. Here is an article explaining more: https://help.cricut.com/hc/en-us/articles/360023925294-Infusible-Ink-FAQ. If you have any additional questions or concerns feel free to contact Cricut Member Care at 877-727-4288, and we would be happy to answer any questions you may have.
I love that it takes a very little space and that I don’t have to guess what temperature to use since there’s only one button. I also liked that the color matches my maker 4, that’s a bonus! The size also makes it easy to transport for crafting projects outside of the home.
