My iron is broken. :( Anyone have an iron they love to use? I'm on a strict budget, so price is an important part of it.

Actually I got an iron from Walmart for $6.00 and it is light
has steam, and really is great. I travel with it too, and don't
have to worry about dropping it.

I have a Rowenta and I absolutely love it!

any brand, but get one with lots of steam holes = I get mine from Walmart or other discount places and if it breaks, I just buy another one.

When my iron dies (soon) I am going back the Black and Decker Classic. Nice heavy weight and great steam.

I have this one also. Procter Silex. Gets really hot (I keep mine turned up all the way) and doesn't shut off automatically.

I was a HUGE fan of Rowenta ... but I just had the same issue with the second one in 6 years. Something has gone wrong with the thermosat in the unit and it just kept on heating till it was super hot and scorched everything and melted/and burnt the thread. I loved the steam ... but I feel I have given this manufacture the benifit of the doubt with the second purchase.
Never again. Both were the high end iron.
Now I am using my cheap $10 iron and a spray/mist bottle. It is much much light in weight ... which helps on the carple tunnel.
Look for a good sole plate , avoid the teflon ( you can not get occasional fusible off the bottom).

I purchased a Rowenta several years ago, had a problem with it, sent it in for service (to the factory authorized West Coast center), and received such bad service (including downright rudeness from the owner of the service facility)that I will NEVER buy another Rowenta. Yes, I complained to the company, and no, they didn't respond.

I just bought a Rowenta at Big Lots and love it. It replaced my 20 year old Rowenta that finally died. I got a $70 iron for $24. So, I was thrilled.

I have had the Black & Decker Classic for years, and I absolutely love it!! I wouldn't have anything else! And they only cost around $30.00. Good investment!
