another issue with Joanns coupon
#31
I have had so many irons it has become a real joke. The last Rowenta set off all the smoke detectors when it burned inside. What a horrible smell. I go through the cheap ones like crazy and finally asked Santa for a commercial one. I ordered it just before the blizzard. It is what tailors use with a water tank sitting above on a shelf. It had better last a long time. It cost less than all the Rowentas I have bought over the years!

I know what the iron is like that you mentioned. A friend of mine has one which she got at Wal-Mart a few years ago. She said it wasn't greatly expensive; like less than $10.00.
I looked at Wal-Mart but didn't find one. Thought I would go online before paying the price JoAnn's has on theirs.

Yay, it wasn't, BUT, in the fine print, irons are excluded from using the coupon. I thought for sure someone here on the board had said they bought an iron using a coupon. Is there a chance that a coupon will come available sometime that will allow me to use it for an iron, or are all their coupons basically the same? Thanks for your help.

JoAnns make me so mad they give u coupons then they put everythingon sale so u can't use them. I got a Rowenta at Joannes and the lever where you change it from regular to steam doesn't work. I think I'm going to buy a cheap one they seem to last longer

Thanks for starting this post. I've enjoyed reading about the different irons. DH bought me an expensive Black and Decker several years ago. I know I haven't dropped it, one of the kids may have and not tell, but it leaks so much I can't put water in it any more. I just use it as a dry iron and have a misting water bottle next to it.
I'm going to look at Lowe's next time we go and check out the Sharks there. Never thought of buying an iron there! Thanks for the iron critiques!

Most times you are right about the coupons, they do not allow them to be used on irons.
I however right after Christmas had a coupon for 50% off any one item even if it was a sale item. Well the irons were 20% off and then I used the 50% off coupon and so I was able to purchase a Rowenta iron that was $125 for $47.99.
Don't give up and always check the fine print as miracles do happen. Point of interest on the Rowneta irons look for the packaging that says made in Germany as they are a much better iron and I have had no problems as opposed to those made in China which I have had problems with i the past and had to return to Rowenta.
Good luck

This seems to be a typical Joann ploy. I wanted to buy a GO there, but what do you know! On the coupon in very small print were the words 'GO not included'. I had the GO all the way up to the counter to buy, where the clerk with a very large magnifying glass (just kidding :-) ) showed me the disclaimer. I just left the Go sitting on the counter, turned away and left, saying, 'Well that's typical'.

BTW....I have a cheapo protector silex iron & love it for 7 years now.
