I bought an iron for ten bucks at home ever and it broke in a week. No big deal I should have bought a better one. I bought a $30 dollar iron and it doesn't even Fing work. It has some stupid stand that it sits in so as soon as you take it out it starts loosing heat. IT DOESN"T GET RID OF WRINKLES. It doesn't glide smoothly over the clothes and it leaks water. The ten dollar iron actually worked better. WTF.

Does anybody want to buy an iron? I really don't want to spend 60 bucks on a Fing iron just because they don't have dryers..

Mine works great, just a little expensive, i think 65,000. Need a pic or model?

BTW anyone find the ironing board that attaches to the back of a door here yet?

I have a TEFAL Supergliss 40. It's made in France. It's the second TEFAL Iron I have purchased in the past 10, or so, years. Though a little expensive, it's well worth the extra won. It has a scratch resistant bottom, so it doesn't burn/destroy your clothes. Too, you want to make sure you always buy an iron that has a steamer. I iron most of my clothes so it really makes the job much easier and is a time saver. I bought it at EMART.

Sorry about the long reply. But, I've purchased the cheap irons before....arghhhhhh...

I like my piece of crap iron. It was in my apt when I got there, probably cost 10kwon and with a febreze bottle full of water for a sprayer and a fleece blanket on the floor for the board it works great.

When I take my drycleaning in, I usually take a bunch of shirts that need pressing. They do them for free, or maybe a couple thousand won to do a half dozen shirts if I have no dryclaening that needs done.

OP,

I bought the homeplus brand iron for like 20,000w. Works like a champ.

No I don't feel like was bamboozled when I paid $50 for an iron my first day in Korea.
