I chose the Rowenta SteamIron with the retractable cord reel. This iron came with so many awesome features. I really liked the safety features that shuts the iron off after only 8 minutes if left unused in the vertical position  & only 30 seconds if left horizontally or tipped over! The Rowenta puts out so much steam that it leaves your garments looking like they were professionally pressed! This iron is very durable & lightweight.
