New clothes irons not hot?

Question

I have recently purchased several irons for my wife. None of them get hot like the old one she had. They are all steam irons and have the nonstick plate. Has anyone else had this problem? I have tried GE, Black and Decker, and Sunbeam. None of them get hot enough to use the adhesive hem tape.

Answer 1

You might want to check out the Rowenta line. Although a little more expensive, they offer a variety of irons for different jobs.

Answer 2

Take them back ! Buy a Rowenta and you won't go wrong. I promise you. I iron a lot and they are the cream of the crop irons.
