I will probably get a lot of flack about my iron, but I went through so many irons that I paid $149 and purchased a DeLonghi Iron. It has its own tank that holds water. The iron weighs next to nothing since it holds no water. I can dry iron all I want. But I get awesome steam when I push the button. I wish I would have purchased this years ago and saved myself all the money I wasted on cheap irons and expensive irons. This is my golden iron and I will love this iron forever! It's my favorite appliance in my sewing room. It makes ironing so easy.
