Iron
#41
I am on my SECOND T Fal Iron, only because I was half asleep and pulled the steaming vent out and broke it when I meant to open the water port. DUH! It never leaks,spits, etc. It has 3 steam levels and burst of steam, plus sprinkler and a sole plate that absolutely will NOT stick. Check them out for about $35+/- they used to be at Walmart where I got the first one but the last time I had to order on line. Its the one with the blue or blue green plastic water reservoir so you can see the water level. I love this iron. and I only use Distilled Water, makes a big difference!

I do ironing once a week (my clothes) so I purchased a Rowenda over 10 years ago and I am still using it every week for all ironing that I do. Used it for quilting when I had an entire room for this and now that I have a teen tiny space I bought a travel iron at WM about 2 years ago and use this for ironing my seams, works great, has no shut-off, is also a steam iron. I think I paid under $10 for it.

I purchased my Rowenta at Lowe's for around $60 several years ago. The directions for my iron said not to use distilled water but us the spring water. No problems yet. If it turns off, all I have to do is tip it down and it heats right back up.

I normally don't like cheaper irons since I do have to iron my husbands shirts as well as use it for sewing. But this one is nice so far.

Hi all, it might not be the iron on getting hot or not. Try spraying your fabric with a spray water of 1/4 vinegar and the rest water. It takes the wrinkles out. I have an iron that I have used for years the poor girl still has the umph and the wrinkles do come out when I spray it with the solution. Hope this helps Maria

I also have a Rowenta but it doesn't have the auto turn off. don't think I would like that. I have a small Rowenta for next to my sewing machine, love them both, wouldn't have another kind.
I wouldn't have spent that much on an iron but my kids got me my first one for a gift. I still have the regular size iron but have had to replace my small one. It just quit heating. But it was replaced with another Rowenta.
