    Default Dry Iron Suggestions

    I was gifted a yellow OLISO but am quite disappointed with the amount of wattage versus amount of heat it generates (very low). I only dry iron, preferring to use a spray starch/best press. What brand and model of iron would you recommend. Thank you!

    I have a Continental Electric and it works great. It's a dry iron only.

    I'm still cooking along with my 15 year old Black and Decker. It gets plenty hot enough.

    I have two Sharks. One filled and one dry. I am quite happy with them as they get nice and hot.

    I also have been very pleased with my shark. Heats up quickly.

    I too don't put water in my irons but I do have a Yellow Oliso and am very happy with how hot it gets. I bought it especially because it was very hot. I'm sorry you haven't had the same experience.

    I'm the same as IrishNY ... have the yellow Oliso, seldom use water, and am quite happy with its heat and the job it does.

    Neuras .... By chance is there something wrong with the iron you were gifted?
    Is it still under warranty? Maybe check about that ... or at least to have it checked out.

    I think its the brand because I don't feel mine got nearly as hot as my rowenta so I ended up buying another rowenta
