My sweet iron
modified from Life in a Shoe

I haven't read the book, but I think my hubby's love language might be ironing.
Please don't tell me that you haven't ironed in 20 years, and you just hang your hubby's clothes right out of the dryer. I've tried that, and it just doesn't look like real love in our house. Maybe your hubby's love language is food or closet organization. My guy likes his clothes ironed. It took me a long time to realize this.
For many years, I used the standard issue garage sale iron. It worked. Like any good wife, I hated ironing but did it when I had to.
Then the iron broke and I had to buy a new one. Hubby encouraged me to replace it with a nice one, but I'm frugal, right? I bought the cheapest one. It leaked, and the temperature was highly unpredictable, but it worked. I complained about it, and the girls and I scorched a few items (how frugal is that?) so we exchanged it. Do you think I learned my lesson and bought a nice one like Hubby suggested? Nope. I bought another of the same sub-$7 model.
Guess what? It leaked, and the temperature was unpredictable. The girls and I scorched a few items. Yeah, that's me: frugal housewife. Save a few bucks on an iron and ruin half of Hubby's clothes.
So finally, Hubby bought me a nice iron. He bought me a digital iron with a compass in the stock and a thing that tells time - er, I mean with a stainless steel plate and turbo steam. I can feel the power when I hit the button! It's a heavy iron, but heavy in a good way. It's well-balanced, and has enough weight to do the work for me. It makes me feel confident and capable and formidable. It's a .45, not a wimpy little .22 caliber iron. Did I mention that it heats in about 1 minute? And hey, it's shiny.
I love my new iron. I love my man, who knows that it's sometimes good stewardship to spend a little extra. And I love the way his clothes look when I've ironed them with a shiny, heavy, leakproof iron that beeps at me for working on the same spot too long.
This may not be the greatest way to end a sparkling review, but I'm afraid I can't tell you the make and model. It's made by GE but doesn't seem to be listed as a GE model. It might be available only at a brick-n-mortar WalMart. I couldn't find it on Amazon or even on the WalMart website. I don't remember what the box looked like, so I can't help you there either. I do remember that it has a 2 year warranty directly through WalMart: just bring it in with a receipt and get a refund or exchange.
So, go find an iron that looks just like mine. You'll love it.
Sorry I can't be more help, but maybe the photo will tell you more.
