I could wax diabolical about the horrible thing for hours, but I know I have moaned about my iron in various other places on here, so I won't go into details. Just believe me, it has no redeeming features.
I have been looking for a new iron for over 6 months, with an increasing sense of desperation. My requirements are simple. I want a shiny stainless steel soleplate, and well spread out holes for the steam* - no grooves or indentations. I don't want to pay more than £40-£50, which seems reasonable as I don't want any clever gadget-y features.
However, it is incredibly hard to see what the soleplate of an iron looks like when you are shopping online, and stainless steel doesn't necessarily mean shiny. I have looked (in person) in
- Currys - the only shiny s-s soleplated one was labelled for 'occasional use'
- Asda - ditto
- The Range - nothing like it
- Sainsburys - nothing
I have been through so many listings on Amazon that I am losing the will to live.
Has anyone seen anything like this anywhere? Is there a secret, brilliant place for buying irons?
*I need the steam for non-sewing ironing.
