Need an iron and ironing board, any recommendations? Don't really want to spend too much but don't want to buy junk that will just have to be replaced either. Thanks for any help!

I am in college and got a small ironing board and a Black & Decker iron for easy storage from Bed Bath & Beyond and Sears(?) respectively. I certainly don't know the best route for this stuff, but I know it can be done affordably.

Yeah I have the Shark Europro and it has bad ratings too, but I have no issues with it either. Just get one with good ratings in your price range. I have to say that a $40 iron has some nice features / benefits compared to a $20, so keep in mind how long you will have it. I've had mine for years.

http://www.walmart.com/ip/Black-Deck...c-Iron/6528826 the old people i know owned one so i too picked one up and this thing is amazing, it get extremely hot in under 3 mins, and its base is like solid iron cuz its definately heavier than most other iron so you dont have to keep going over your shirts 1-2 swipes per area and your golden.

@ChrisW - I have a steamer too but I only use it on jackets and hard-to-iron fabrics (silk ties, corduroy). I find the steamer "relaxes" the wrinkles but nothing gets a shirt as crisp as an iron. I suppose I would use it on casual shirts but I usually just take those out of the drier hang them up right after.
