I bought an Iron last year. I went to Walmart, there were so many irons to chose from! They had everything except one that would wash the dishes and walk the dog! So I had to say to myself what is it a actually need? I need something to get the wrinkles out of my clothes and use for crafts. So I need something that has a steamer and a large range of temperature settings.
I need to spend a little as possible but I don’t want to have to come back and buy a new iron once a week. Finally I seen a iron there that had steam all those thing and was so cheep that even if it did burn out in a month it would still be a good buy! I am happy to say my iron still works like its new and I have had it for a year now!
So my point is that you don’t always have to buy the most expensive one to have a good one that will last a long time. The iron I bought is a Proctor Silex Ultra-Ease-17109. My mom bought a very fancy name brand iron around the same time, payed twice as much for it and it burned out in less than six months!
