Iron?
 
Joann's has the Digital Vilocity Iron on sale and I'm thinking of ordering it. Has anyone bought this and are you happy with your purchase?

I have that iron and really love it. I think I have had it for about a year - no problems and it gets a lot of use. Both my Mom and I use it (I usually sew at her house) and all of her Sr group comes over sews/irons, plus I have a couple of groups that meet here. I have seen several other posts on this site from people who have it and love it - so far haven't heard anything negative

I buy all my irons from second hand stores or yard sales because I am so rough on them...constantly knocking off the table, it finally kills them off but most last a couple of years and I only give a couple of bucks for them so figure I'm getting my moneys worth!!!

I am on a budget and therefore use Black & Decker. I did buy a Maytag cordless years ago to iron whole quilts.

I have that iron, bought a refurbished one and love it. What's even better is that I had a minor problem with the first one I got, and the company immediately sent me another, no questions asked. That's good service!

I am not familiar with that brand. I have used an Oliso Pro iron for about 4 years now and it has been the best iron I've ever owned. They are a bit pricy, but if you take a little time t search the Internet, it can be found for half the price. As newer models come out, the older ones become less expensive.

Ooh how lovely to hear of other people who are rough on irons .my mother had one all her married life. Me I have one nearly every six months but recently I have had one per month so I always buy the cheapest..

I have had the iron for a year now and it gets lots of use. I am very happy with it, no leaking or spitting and good steam. It is expensive but woth it.

When my last cheap iron started spurting water I bought the Reliable iron. So far it's great. And it's been dropped and mishandled by many girl scouts and some moms at learn to sew classes. LOL.
