I just dropped my steam station - and i need help buying a new one

[Yael]

WAAAAAHHHHH!!!! It's broken! I've tried turning it on a few times, it tries to work and it just can't get the steam out... I want to cry, i feel like i've lost a part of the family

But alas, i will have to move on, and buy myself a new one i think. So I need your help. I want one with constant steam, as that is the only way i'm prepared to iron. Normally do 1-2 baskets per week. What options do steam stations have these days. We got our one (sunbeam) for our wedding, it was just when they first came out, and were pretty basic. I do hate that i have to wait so long for it to cool down so i can take the cap off to refill it, takes like 30 mins or you get a steam burn.

Any reccomendations? I saw the Laura Star ones *drool* but there is no was DH will let me re-mortgage the house for an iron.. do people really pay that much for them???

Yael- you are talking another language?! What is a steam station???

[DaintreeDream]

I think it is one of those iron presses like at the drycleaners?!

[Junglemum]

ohhhh i see. How did you manage to drop that Yael?? Hope your toes were clear.

[DaintreeDream]

Nope I was wrong...

My golly gosh! My curiousity got the better of me... I googled That is one expensive, fancy iron. You seem to be a very keen ironer Yael Coming from someone who NEVER touches an iron

Whilst I do not iron at the moment, when I do start sewing costumes and clothing again I will be getting myself a Laura Star.

Can't help with what sort to choose or what features BUT they do have them on Grays Online quite a bit so that's a good place to grab a bargain. To give you an idea of how big a bargain, I got DD's cot for about $200 when the retail price was $800.
