I iron a lot, and cheap has worked for me. What I use in the sewing room tho is a iron that turns itself off. As I have gotten older I tend to forget things now and having that feature has been a life saver. The one I use for clothes I take down as soon as I am done so no chance of leaving it on. I also got for Christmas a Cl*over little iron that I love to use just for piecing. Hope this helps you.
