A hot, steamy iron is a crucial tool in your laundry arsenal. A steamer does a pretty good job of smoothing some fabrics, but nothing creates sharp pleats or flattens stubborn wrinkles like an iron. We’ve tested more than two dozen irons and researched countless more, and our two-time winner, the lightweight, affordable, and reliable Maytag M400 Speed Heat Iron and Vertical Steamer, is still our favorite.

Maytag M400 Speed Heat Iron and Vertical Steamer, a fantastic everyday iron

Maytag M400 Speed Heat Iron and Vertical Steamer

A fantastic everyday iron
This reliable iron heats up in 25 seconds, it’s lighter and easier to hold than others we’ve tested, and it’s one of the most affordable models we recommend.
We recommend
Black+Decker Allure Professional Steam Iron D3030, an excellent but less reliable iron

Black+Decker Allure Professional Steam Iron D3030

An excellent but less reliable iron
This affordable iron produces more powerful steam than many other models we’ve tried (even pricier ones), so it removes wrinkles quickly. The company has strong customer service, too. The heating element, however, is prone to breaking.
Another good choice
Rowenta SteamForce DW9280, top of the line

Rowenta SteamForce DW9280

Top of the line
The SteamForce is the most reliable iron we’ve ever tested, with the strongest bursts of steam, but it costs nearly three times as much as many we tried and has only a one-year warranty, the shortest amongst our picks.
