I have gone through a lot of cheap irons through the years, decided this year to gift myself with a good iron. I splurged and got one of the Rowenta Steam Generator irons, just like the one Donna Jordan uses on her tutorials. I like steam and heat. This iron is fantastic, and I am not always filling it up like with the old irons. I can't believe how much flatter my seams are now. It is much easier on my shoulder and elbow since it isn't as heavy as the cheaper steam irons.
