SWMBO Teresa here is expert on all things to do with fabric and yarn. She is a member of a group that is the fabric and yarn equivalent of OkieBenz. Their netwisdom says that Rowenta is no longer the ne plus ultra of irons; it is now Oliso. Greg -Original Message- From: Mercedes

Biggest issue is wattage.Need power to generate steam.Wife now has a big unit that sits on the floor and feeds the iron via a hose.Do not recall brand off hand but could look. RB Sent from my Galaxy Tab® A Original message From: Curley McLain via Mercedes

Re: [MBZ] OT Clothes irons

Rowenta is the popular brand, like KitchenAid for mixers. I think it boils down to a choice between heavy and light, and then whether she likes a lot of control over the steam, or if simple on/off for the steam is good enough. Mitch. ___
