Why wait until you need an iron to get another one? I have three irons I use the most. A Black and Decker Classic, the Continential Dry iron and a EuroPro that's big and steams great for bigger pressing jobs. I have a Reliable iron but my DD borrowed it so I probably won't get it back, she presses her clothes everyday and loves it. I have an old Sunbeam iron that still works great that I take to our guild classes when we need extra irons. All these irons get very hot. Reliable iron is the lighter of them.
