I'd like to find an iron that gets hot, I won't be using it for steam. I have a question about wattage. When it comes to wattage on an iron, do the higher numbers mean they get hotter or does it mean the iron gets to the temperature faster than lower wattage irons?

I have 2 irons, the cheapo 1200 watt iron seems to get hotter than my cheapo 1450 watt iron. This is what makes me confused!

I want an iron that gets very hot, for my cotton quilt fabrics. The 1450 watt doesn't take out wrinkles like it should, even though I spray the wrinkles with water. And the 1200 watt iron takes out the wrinkles when they are sprinkled with water.

Does anyone have a copy of Consumer Reports???
