    I have a Proctor Silex that my DD got me cause I complained my old one was always shutting off on me just when I needed i it and it likes to spit on me or "drool" on my material!
    The Proctor is a steamer but doesn't get RUDE and DOESN"T shut off till I turn it off!!
    I think it is great!!

    Oreck has thier cordless iron %50 off.
    I got a free Oreck cordless iron when I bought my vacuum cleaner. Love the vacuum cleaner but am really glad I didn't have to pay for the iron. It worked for a month and quit.

    I have an Oliso. I used one at a class I attended making bias strips and just loved it. I purchased mine on sale at Fabric Depot. :-)

    I have a very cheap 7.00 iron from Walmart that I use to iron my fabrics after washing.
    for piece work I love the Rowenta travel iron. No problems with stretching and it is so lightweight to handle. The only bad part is refilling the water so often cause it is so small.
