Snag the travel iron Oprah says is 'ideal to throw into your suitcase' on rare sale

When it comes to taste, no one tops Oprah. Her annual Favorite Things List is basically the gold standard — a treasure trove of finds that elevate everyday life. One standout from her 2022 picks still has our attention: The Nori Press Travel Iron, a compact 2-in-1 gizmo that could seriously change your travel game. Because let's be honest: No one wants to look like a crumpled pile of laundry on vacation — and you know Oprah doesn't do wrinkles. If she swears by it, you know it's good. Even better? It's down to $89 (from $119) for Prime Day.

Why is it a good deal?💰

This gadget doesn't go on sale often, and when it does, it usually isn't by this much. Its current price is within $5 of its all-time low, so if you've got some travels lined up this year, this is the deal you want to snag while you can.

Why do I need this? 🧐

Since it tackles both sides of a garment at the same time, the Nori is incredibly efficient — two times faster than a regular iron, according to the company. But on top of speed, it has six fabric settings and a steam function so you can customize the results depending on what you're ironing.

It kind of looks like a flat iron for your hair — it's a tong-like wand with heating elements. "This gadget quickly presses both sides of a shirt, dress or pair of pants and reaches its highest temperature in three minutes," says Oprah.

It's also lightweight at just over a pound, and you don't need an ironing board to use it — together, those features make it the perfect travel companion. It also has dual voltage settings, which means that whether you're traveling around the country or around the world, you can plug this baby in.

It even comes in handy for the times you don't have access to a washing machine or dry cleaner. "You can also use it to steam or refresh clothes," Oprah suggests. "And with people traveling again, it’s ideal to throw into your suitcase."

What reviewers say 💬

Over 1,200 Amazon shoppers rave about this gizmo too.

Pros 👍

"I am absolutely blown away by Nori!" gushed a savvy traveler. "This little gem has completely revolutionized my ironing experience, both at home and on the road. ... The results are impeccable every time, with no need for an ironing board. It's lightweight, safe and keeps everything clean — a game-changer for any traveler."

"I hate ironing!" shared another happy shopper. "This iron is just what I needed to get my clothes looking more presentable. No ironing board either? Sign me up. I love that it can go with me in my suitcase when we travel too! My husband is enjoying the benefits as well with his dress shirts! Even my mom, who is the QUEEN of ironing, is impressed."

"I bought this for my weekend trip and used it all weekend!" wrote an enthusiastic fan. "It immediately removes wrinkles with a few swipes, and I found that the steam feature helps a lot. It fits perfectly into my carry-on, and I didn't have to worry about using the hotel iron! Highly recommend."

Cons 👎

Some shoppers say it's not quite perfect.

"My only criticism is that Nori is not as powerful as a full-blown iron," shared one. "I think this is kind of to be expected though, and in my personal opinion, the appeal of Nori is that I can use this on the go, quickly, conveniently and anywhere."

A final buyer warned, "Beware: The steamer will spit out hot water here and there." That said, they added, "It’s easy to use, unbelievably effective and travel-friendly. I bring it with me whenever I’m away and it barely takes up any space."
