I miss the old, heavy irons. Wish I could find one. They iron so much better than today's irons. The only thing I like about newer irons is the automatic shutoff. I am really paranoid about leaving an iron on.

I started using a dry iron when I got the smaller version just to press open seams. Was amazed at how much better the pressing is than when I used the old iron (I never use steam). But I can see what you mean about the holes being a problem. Even my travel iron does a better job. You will like it a lot.

I hate the steam iron I have. It can also be used without steam. It has auto shut off. If I look away or don't use it for 30 seconds, it shuts off. Pain in the petutie when trying to iron seams. Was using it once while trying to just iron DH shirt and it even shut off. Going to get me a dry iron and be done with it.
