VermontCountry Store has a Dry Iron for 29.95. I've used them off and on for several years.
|
I bought my dry iron from Vermont country store also and I love it! Got tired of the little steam holes leaving their mark on my appliques.
|
Amazon has the no steam iron for $14.99 every so often. Different affiliates that sell through Amazon have different prices.
|
I, too, have the Vermont Country Store iron and love it. I spray with Mary Ellen's Best Press when I need moisture.

I'd suggest you buy a vintage iron. It'll last forever. Mines not vintage, its from the early 1980's but it's a workhorse.

In the last 10 yrs + I've bought on average a iron a yr for my sewing studio. Finally I dug out my old iron that I only used for clothing(which is never). It gets much hotter than the new irons, and like jingle I use a spray bottle when needed.

Maybe Amazon.ca? I purchased mine off of Amazon.com.
|
read comments on the irons though. before you decide.
|
I also bought the dry iron from HD online. Loved it. Too bad it didn't last a year before it quit.

My mom used to have a Sunbeam dry iron, and she always sprinkled her clothes for ironing with a water-filled pop bottle with a sprinkler stuck in the top. (I can't think of an easier way to describe it...wish I had a pic to show you.) The iron was heavier than these new ones, and a workhorse.

My mom had a pop bottle (7-up!)/sprinkler combo like that--I had forgotten about it until now! :)
