As for a dry iron I have seen the Continental in the Vermont Store catalogue but have read about some problems. I actually,purchased mine (a red-handled GE) at an antiques shop a couple years ago. I had never seen one with the red handle!! The wiring is perfect. I also have a black-handled one I bought in 1999 also from an antiques store. Looks like it has barely been used. And it is also in perfect shape. I"d go with an older one as long as the wiring is in good shape. Those cloth cords can fray over time.

They just don't get hot enough. I own a Rowenta, and it's a work horse. I love it.
