Love my Reliable. You can turn off the auto shut off if you want, and lots of steam instantly. When you shut off the steam it seems to stop in an instant too. It is a bit heavier than some, maybe mid weight if heavier iron is an issue.

Can you tell me what you like and dislike about this iron? thanks! I doesn't have very good reviews that I can find.

I bought a $35 Black & Decker form Walmart and I like it for my general clothing ironing. But, as others have said, it has the auto shut off. Hated that for quilting. So I bought an $8 cheapo at the $ store (sunbeam I think) that doesn't have the auto shutoff. I love it. It's a little smaller and light weight. It get's much hotter than the B&D. I love it for my quilting. I also, always use distilled water in my irons. Makes them last much longer and not all that leaking.

Me too. I bought a $20 iron from Walmart. I use tap water in it. It gets hot and it steams, that's all I need.
|
I have a Rowenta and love love love it. It just keeps on running after all these years. LOL

I have a Shark.. and would take it back if I had the box.. I bought in September or October last year and it will barely steam already.. I've never used tap water in it even one time.. besides I hate the auto shut off.. and the button pushing to get it back to cotton.. on top of those complaints I don't think it heats up like it did... and the silly iron is only a few months old! and I'm sure it's out of the warranty.
I bought a Shark iron because I use a Shark to clean my floors and I love that, I figured I'd love their iron too.. Wrong! |
I bought an Oreck cordless iron off ebay about 5 years ago. You can use it with the cord or make it cordless, either way. I use tap water in mine. It gets very hot, and the steam is GREAT. The auto-shut off is too soon for me, but it heats very fast and if I push the button on the way to the ironing board it's usually done heating by the time I have the fabric smoothed and ready. So it's not a problem really.
As I said, I've had it 5 years and it never leaks. I put vinegar in it from time to time, turn it on and let it sit for 10 minutes and then pour it out. I think that's why it's never leaked. Irons do need cleaning from time to time. |
Love my T-Fal. It gets hot, has great steam and stays on for at least 10-12 minutes. I even bought a second one for my wash room. Rowenta and Olisso did not have good ratings when I was looking. Many reviews said that they don't last very long. Many swear by them and others swear at them. So I didn't go that way.

I have a reliable also and absolutely love it. It does have an auto shut off, but there is also something you can switch (haven't tried it yet) to change it so it doesn't auto shut off. The only thing I don't like is that it does not have a burst of steam button. I have several friends who have had Oliso's and if you get a good one they love it, but there have been a lot of lemons and they barely last a year.
