Another Iron Question?
 

My Rowenta has bit the dust. I am needing to replace it. I am undecided if I want to replace it with another Rowenta or the Panasonic 360 Freestyle Cordless. Maybe there is a better iron that you like. I use an iron mostly for quilting, but will press clothes from time to time.

- I don't want anything too small or light
- I like steam

Thank you all for your help and hopefully this subject has not worn itself out.

I like steam too. I've had the Panasonic cordless one for a couple years and it's starting to leak pretty bad. I love a cordless iron though so I'll replace it probably with the same one.

I don't have the cordless one, but I do have a Panasonic. It's been a great iron for me.

I am curious to see what people recommend too. I'm on my second Rowenta and it is already on it's way out and it's only about a year old. I swore I wouldn't by another one. I am starting to believe none of them are made to last, so I will probably just buy an inexpensive iron as they all seem the same.

Honestly I replaced my Rowenta with an oliso and within a month I had purchased a Rowenta off QVC so I realized quickly how much I liked my Rowenta but it's hard to find the German made ones

I have a Oliso and love it. It took a bit of training not to put it on it's heel.

I have a Shark Professional, it is 1800 watt so it gets hot enough. There are 2 ways to steam, one is constant and the other is the shots of steam. I have been using it now for 7 months and like it very much, but I primarily use it without water, it doesn't have the teflon on it. You do have to "cure" it first, if you don't it doesn't seem to get hot and stay hot. It drove me crazy until I read the directions. I was trying to turn off the automatic shut off and found out what I had to do first.

Rowenta users- can you figure out what's breaking on them? It seems to me that the cords get a short in them.

As far as the auto shut offs go, I had to transplant one from one Rowenta into another one. It seems like you could take it out if you don't like them.

There are a lot of threads on irons if you use the search function. I have a rowenta that leaks. Then I used a black and decker digital advantage and then saw someone here liked a Maytag with a removable water reservoir so got that. It works fine.

I had a GE iron that I could have used without heat, it was so heavy but I had it for 20 yrs.
