Looking for a Good Steam Iron $50 - $100

Alright, so ironing is the most painful part of my week, I’m contemplating dropping them in and getting them pressed but I feel I don’t earn enough money to justify that.

My current iron is a piece of shit and it takes me a good 15 minutes to iron a shirt and that’s after almost soaking it to get the creases out (I consider myself a decent ironer as well).

What’s decent on the market? I see people putting the Braun models up on here from Amazon, these tend to be around $30-$50 or so. Happy to pay more if it is going to be that much better, I just want something that is quality and can get the job done quickly.

Thoughts?

    The best advice I was ever given is to put the shirts in the clothes dryer. To save electricity, I normally put them on the line until the are almost dry and then give them 10 minutes in the dryer. Pull them out while they are still hot and shake them. Doing this cuts the ironing effort in half.

    I bought the Braun TexStyle 7 in one of last year's deals and I'm happy with it. The only caveat is that it's a large iron and weighs 1.4kg so if you have doubts about the size, check it out in a shop.

    • This sounds like a great plan… but i dont have a dryer :(

    If you are prepared to buy new shirts - I'd recommend getting non-iron from TM Lewin or Charles Tyrwhitt. Adding to what trongy has suggested put the shirts on a hanger and dry them outside. I have the same iron (Braun TexStyle), however the same investment could be put into a weeks worth of shirts that I've not had to iron since.

    • ill consider those in my next shirt investment.

      Ill take a look at the Braun, as these seem to be pretty popular.

      This has been put up as well >

    I would suggest this Tefal one for $69. We have been very happy with our Tefal iron

    • Saw this one and ended up going for it, cheers.
