See, when I want a hot iron, I want it so hot that Satan would recoil from the heat. I want the walls to melt, I want the stinking wrinkles to run in horror at the iron's approach. But no, (and I actually spent over $100 for an iron in my pursuit) I imagine that expecting an iron to actually get hot is a felonious assault against Gaia and so the weapon must be mandated out of existence.
These madmen won't be happy until we're all down at the creek pounding out our hemp clothing with rocks.
Can you tell I was ironing today?
I would like to flush them all down the toilet, but I’d probably have to illegally import one from Canada.
I think I saw that model in the last season of 24. Jack was ironing somethings out with the bad guys.
I can sympathize! Got a little different story.
A year or so ago within about a month our toaster and coffee maker that we’d had for years died. The wife replaced both with good named brands (several times) and they’d just die too, like in a few days. Of course the store would replace them but she was getting tired of returning them.
She finally replaced each one with the cheapest Chinese junk she could find, no bells and whistles, just bare bones products and they’re still working just fine.
Can’t remember the cost of the coffee maker but it was cheap. I specifically remember the cost of the toaster, retail was $9.99 and the store had it on sale for a dollar off. LOL!
Me too, Madame! Trying to pick away at getting the curtains done for fall cleaning. Linen curtains need HOT irons! Couple that with not being able to find many of the common product in stores (like starch) and having to order them online. Of course that means shipping charges, GRRRR I am not in a good mood after all the trouble just to do a routine chore!
I have a Europro Iron that’s connected to a tank. The water is heated in this tank and fed to the iron through a hose. It is very hot and the steam can blast out about 2 - 3 feet. I love it.
Thrift shops, rummage sales, etc. might be your best bet. Either that or a couple of anitque irons sitting on the stove burners...

Do not iron clothes on body.
