Tried to search, couldn't find a similar recent post (please direct if there is)
Looking for a steam iron <$100, anyone have recommendations for ones they have & work well?
The style you use on an iron board, not the handheld vertical types
Would be a plus if it works well with various types of materials - especially thin material
Thx!

If you can stretch the budget, a steam station is one of the best investments I've made on this front. I detest ironing but got one at a boxing day sale over 5 years ago for half price ($150) and if it died, I'd replace it in a heartbeat, even at full price.
Just at a quick look, there's one for $199 on Amazon but considering I'd go through a steam iron every 18 months to 2 years, I'd still be ahead.

(Not vouching for this model specifically, just to give you an idea that its an iron, but steams really well)
What brand of steams irons were you buying?! My Philips steam iron is about 10 years old and still works as well as the day I got it. It was about $80.
I’ve been looking for one for years so I set up an alert on OZB about 2 years ago.
I get a few steam gaming things but today I got you.
Every time I get home from work and find the iron on I worry.looks like it unfortunately hasn't answered your question still after 2 years? :-(
Just Buy 7.5$ Kmart steam Iron, it does the best job for years.
Did anyone purchase the kmart one or similar cheaper one? Ur negs show u didnt. This is more than enough for the poor man's ironing jobs. I used 2 in the last 10-years, I have no regrets at all.
I use Braun Texstyle 7, available for 129 at JBHiFi. Has the most reviews on productreview website. Award winner of 2017. You can check rating here

What did you buy end up buying? And how's it going? Share a brief review with us please?
Thanks
I use the Tefal Ultraglide Iron and it works well and price is around $70.
For more delicate items I would use a garment steamer. I use a Sunbeam Power steamer for my suit jackets and more delicate items.
