So when Sharon over at Vroomans Quilts got a new Black & Decker "The Classic" traditional steam iron with her piggy bank savings, I thought hmmmmm, maybe it is time. So I checked into getting one and I was amazed!! It is less than one-third the price of a new Rowenta!!
And here it is ~
It is really nice and heavy - perfect for a good press and it has an auto turn off which I love because I am always walking away from my iron.
And the point is wonderful!! It is very pointed, perfect for getting into wherever you need to get into!!
I am really excited about using it, which is exactly what I am going to do as soon I finish this post!!
Thanks Sharon for the heads up and I am serious, if anyone is interested in a used Rowenta that leaks if filled more than 1/4 full, let me know in a comment and I will put names in a basket and pick a new beneficiary of the Rowenta!!
Happy New iron! I'm sure someone will be interested. Many quilters don't use water in their irons.
ReplyDeleteI have never owned an expensive iron. The cheap ones and I get along just fine. Just got a new one a couple of months ago. It is a Hamilton Beach, and I love that it is a bit hefty, it gets really hot, it has the auto shut-off, but comes right back on when you pick it up (my last one had to be unplugged and replugged), and it has a nice point.
ReplyDeleteThe retro look of your new one is fun!
Hope you find a good home for the leaky one. : )
I would be interested in giving your leaky iron a try. I've always been curious about them. Thanks!
