Thought youse might like a little laugh. This is my iron. It's about 25 years old. It still looks brand new. It's like a kid's toy. It's the size of a tissue box. My mum bought it when I moved out of home. Her words were "You may need it one day". Today is that day.

Tip:
Don't fall for the temptation of cranking it to max heat. Reserve that for linen and pure cotton. Medium heat will work perfectly well in almost all circumstances.
