Does any of you have a POWEFUL lightweight iron, one that heats up really hot but is not so heavy? My rowenta is loosing power and it's time for a new iron and was wondering if there was such a thing out there? Thanks in advance for your help.

I love that you get that it's the heat, not the weight that gets the job done with our pressing! ![Smile](https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/smile.png)
I too have a Rowenta (a gift from hubby about five years ago) that gets plenty hot, but it is a heavy bugger!
I have had Black & Decker irons in the past that get very hot, but are lightweight. I got them at Walmart and was very happy with them. You might try going there (or to a similar store) and pick them up and see what you think about the weight.
Since I don't use steam in my iron (I use a spritzer bottle if I want the steam effect), my next iron will be this one:

Why wait until you need an iron to get another one? I have three irons I use the most. A Black and Decker Classic, the Continential Dry iron and a EuroPro that's big and steams great for bigger pressing jobs. I have a Reliable iron but my DD borrowed it so I probably won't get it back, she presses her clothes everyday and loves it. I have an old Sunbeam iron that still works great that I take to our guild classes when we need extra irons. All these irons get very hot. Reliable iron is the lighter of them.

So far I like the dry iron. I use the iron for all applique and fusibles. No holes make the sole plate very easy to clean. The 5ft cord hasn't been a problem for me. It's plugged into a power strip. I don't use it for all my pressing. I have three irons on my ironing big board iron ready to use.
