I bought an iron that has it's own reservoir that is separate from the iron. I have a long cord that hooks to the water and my iron is so lightweight (having no water in it). I would check ebay for one of these. You can get them for $150 or less. It's been my dream iron. And I have quite a few irons. You know how people collect sewing machines? Well, I collect irons, so I think I know a little something about them. This kind is my all time favorite. And the holes are small but put out a lot of steam so you can use it as a dry iron easily.
