After a lot of research, I purchased a T-Fal iron over a year ago for my sewing room. Kmart and JC Penneys carry them for $40-$50. The newer Rowenta and Oliso had poor reviews, lasting only 1-2 years for many of people, which I thought were ridiculous for the money. I like the steam on my T-Fal and it gets hot very quickly. I liked it so much that I purchased one for our household ironing too.
