Irons are a problem for me, as my arthritic hands/wrists are really weak and I have shoulder trouble as well. So I have to go for the lightweight ones. I have a lightweight Shark that I like, but when I'm doing lots of seam pressing and things start getting sore, I switch to an even lighterweight Black & Decker; it's the lightest one I've ever found. I think Best Press really improves the results with these lighter irons.
