I have one very much like this: Euro-Pro EP8001 Steam Generator Iron, see http://www.amazon.com/Euro-Pro-EP8001-Steam-Generator-Iron/dp/B00006RVIJ I don't think the brand makes much difference, as long as you get the external tank. I've used many irons over the years, and nothing works as well as having the tank full of steam at the touch of a button.
However, I do have a Eruo Pro ironing table, with suction. I think this makes a lot of difference, too. Even for cotton or linen, I don't need very high heat. The steam and the suction work together to get all the wrinkles out. They don't make that one anymore, but there are other brands, such as Hi Steam PND 1000AC, 700W Vacuum Suction Commercial Ironing Board , see http://www.allbrands.com/products/abp02315-0794.html Kim -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Saragrace Knauf Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2008 5:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [h-cost] How do you like your iron? - again - OT I just dropped my Rowenta on my hard tile floor for the fifth or sixth time, and it finally started to leak. Whaaaaa! I just looked at Consumer Reports - their last iron review was in 2006. (I wrote them and asked them to do another soon.) I also contacted Threads magazine since most of their recent reviews are on more expensive "ironing systems." But I'm interested in your personal experiences. What do you like best? Are you aware of reviews in other publications? I've had great luck with my Rowenta(s), but am also aware that their service records in years past hasn't been great. Don't forget Model numbers - sometimes they just aren't available anymore! Thanks Sg P.S. If you have an ironing system you use and like, please give your opinon. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
