Last Friday my iron blew up. I was trying to be a good wife/mom and get the boys clothes ironed for Sunday. I was thinking ahead and getting it done before Sunday morning. I also had some shirts of mine that needed to be ironed. Well I got Jacob’s clothes done and then my iron made this loud pouf of steam, started leaking out brown stuff and got cold.
O.K. I know not a lot of people iron, but I do not want to pay to have all of Bryan’s shirts, some of my clothes and Brandon and Jacob’s church clothes ironed. To those of you who are saying that you never iron, my question to you is this, what do you do with your wrinkled clothes? I am not the best laundry person in the world so clothes can sit in the dryer or a basket for some time. Even then though I have shirts that I don’t put in the dryer and so they are always wrinkled once they are dried.
It seems like I am always buying a new iron. They break so often. Is there a magic iron out there that will last more than a few years, or am I just destined to having to buy a new iron often? I don’t mind ironing, when I remember to do it, but I do not like having to go and buy a new iron!

I don't iron that much but my mother and my sister do. My mother would iron all day Monday and listen to the Book of Mormon on tape and my sister Wendy irons EVERYTHING including her children's jeans, crazy! I think that my mom likes Rowenta irons but I'll ask my sister what she uses. Good luck!
Our irons only last a couple of years too. But, when you consider how cheap they are to buy, it is still saving tons compared to the cleaners.
My iron has lasted for years and years. It sits on top of the closet shelf.....that's how to make it last.
Don't listen to Melwel.
I think Rowenta is the best. Costco sells one for b=about $70. Mine has lasted for YEARS. Make sure to only use bottled water to fill the tank. Or there is always Your Valet ;)
I don't Iron much myself. I do iron a few items as needed, a few of my shirts that just can't be done without ironing, and my husband's shirt for church. For regular every-day items that have been sitting in the laundry basket too long before being put away, I simply throw them back in the dryer with a damp wash cloth for 5 minutes when it's time to wear them - and the wrinkles are gone.
