Do you like your iron?

[sjh722]

Mine just died.

It was a $50-ish Rowenta from when we got married.

Any other suggestions in a similar price range? Or lower? Or just get another Rowenta?

I too have a rowenta in that range. I love it. I suck at ironing and don't do it often but my iron makes it look like I do.:-) :-)
I had a black and Decker cheapie prior. It sucked ran too hot even on low and sprayed steam everywhere.

Do I ... like? ... my iron?

Does not compute, sorry. What I "like" is no-iron dress shirts

I have am awesome dryer with a wrinkle release option. If that doesn't work it goes in the goodwill or dry clean piles.

I hate to iron, but have a ~$75 Rowenta which is awesome, for an iron. Like Dairy said, I'd previously always had cheapie Black & Deckers and was amazed how much better my Rowenta is

I buy cheap irons because I hate ironing. The last one I got was a Sunbeam as a gift, but it has a retractable cord and, the best part ever, it shuts itself off! It shuts off after like 10 minutes upright and something like 15 seconds laying down (hot side down) without being moved.

I have this one:
www.amazon.com/Rowenta-DG5030-Station-Stainless-Soleplate/dp/B000MT519O/

And I love love love it. It's above your price range, though. I'd go with Rowenta again. Great products.

I know this isn't the price range you want, but OMG I love our Rowenta Pro Iron Steam Station. Amazon is showing it around $120. It is the greatest thing ever. I hate to iron, but this takes a few seconds and things are perfect. I will never use another iron.

LOVE!!!

I have a relatively cheap one. GE I think. From Target. I love it because it has a retractable cord.

Mine does this too and I love it.

Another happy Rowenta owner here. Not sure of the model, but I think it's on the cheaper end.

Rowenta.

I sew and find a reliable iron is as critical to my success as a good sewing machine. Mine was one of the pricier corded models when I bought it. It's my second; I would definately buy another. Probably the sexy steam base unit model the others posted.

I hate ours and so does DH (who does the ironing). He wants a nice, heavy iron so I think I'll look at the Rowenta's everyone is recommending.

i converted to a rowenta when the cheapy i had finally died (it was one w/the retractable cord). i don't iron very frequenty, but when i do, it is nice to have a good iron.

I bought another Rowenta last night - it was $42 w/ coupon at Bed Bath & Beyond. For as often as I iron (um, not very), it will do the trick.
