Best Dry Irons of 2025

"I saved all my ironing for this iron's arrival. It's one of the most affordable options on Amazon and outperforms the pricier brands. This classic design never fails me. It's not fussy and made of sturdy materials. I love that it doesn’t shut off unexpectedly like other models. It’s heavy enough to smooth wrinkles without much effort. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to simplify their ironing routine."

"After my lightweight iron broke, I decided to upgrade to the BLACK+DECKER Classic Iron. I'm so pleased with this choice. Its weight makes ironing more effective, and the aluminum soleplate glides over fabrics effortlessly. The temperature settings are easy to adjust, and the anti-drip feature keeps my clothes safe from stains. While it lacks a burst of steam option, the overall performance and retro look make it a great addition to my home."

"This iron has been a fantastic find! I used it while visiting my daughter, and I loved how quickly it heated up and removed wrinkles. The weight feels just right, and it operates smoothly on fabrics. I'm so impressed that I bought one as soon as I got home. I expect this to be the last iron I ever need!"

"I absolutely love this iron! I wanted a dry iron with a flat sole plate for quilting cotton. Unlike steam irons that tend to leak, this iron has a completely flat plate, so I no longer have to worry about it spitting. The heat is more than sufficient for quilting cotton, and I often find myself turning it down because it gets too hot for spray starch. The sole plate is non-stick, making it easy to clean, and it's lightweight, which is great for my hands."

"For pressing quilt seams, this iron is fantastic! It's lightweight and heats up very quickly, allowing me to work efficiently. I appreciate that it runs hot at high temperatures, so I don't need to set the heat dial to maximum."

"From my experience, this is the best iron I've ever used! It heats up incredibly fast and has a smooth glide, getting wrinkles out in just one pass. With a family to take care of, this iron has drastically reduced my ironing time by 75%. If you're looking for an iron that’s efficient and reliable without worrying about water leaks, this is the one to choose."

"After over 20 years of use, my Rowenta started leaking. I opted for this $26 iron and I’m delighted. It heats up almost immediately and the settings are easy to adjust. The steam works great for my quilting projects. However, I noticed it has to be unplugged to turn it completely off, and it beeps after 30 minutes of inactivity. But maybe that’s a safety feature?"

"I bought this iron mainly for my sewing tasks after trying two expensive brands that leaked. So far, I’m quite satisfied. The quick heat-up time and the clear visibility of the water tank are significant advantages. I love the analog dial and the nice burst of steam. I rated it 4 out of 5 stars mainly because I wished for a bit more wattage."

"I rarely iron, but this iron is fantastic! The retractable cord is a game changer for me. It heats up quickly and the steam is perfect for various fabrics. I didn't even need to read the directions; it’s intuitive. I tested it on a pleated cotton bed skirt and was impressed with the results. The cord's functionality makes storage easy, which is essential for someone like me!"

"I bought this iron to put veneer strips on my island, and it worked great. I highly recommend this iron for the price and effectiveness."

"I iron every day and had to buy this as a replacement when my other iron died. I am not disappointed and wish I had purchased this sooner. It glides smoothly across fabrics effortlessly."

"I love the retractable cord. I'd have rated this 5 stars if it weren't for the occasional leaks."

"I initially thought I was getting a full-sized iron, but I actually ended up loving the smaller size much more! It's fantastic for precise ironing, especially when attaching patches and decals. The heat is even, and it's easy to store."

"I really enjoyed this iron for the first four months until it started sparking and eventually stopped working. I appreciated the quick heating and the effective wrinkle removal, but I need to look for a more durable dry iron now."

"This is a nice small iron that heats up well and does a great job. It's easy to store in my small living space, which is a big plus."

"While it’s smaller than expected, I adjusted quickly, and the steam works well."

"I really like this iron; it's perfect for my needs. However, it leaks and rattles because it wasn't packed properly during shipping. I didn't return it since I'm quite busy. I wish more care was taken in the packaging to ensure I receive a fully intact product. It heats up nicely, but unfortunately, it does leak a bit. Still, I would recommend it."

"I anticipated a smaller size given the affordable price, but it turned out to be regular size. The standout feature is the steaming capability; I steamed all my curtains without a loss of power, and I easily pressed cotton shirts and lightly steamed a silk blouse. This product is definitely worth it!"

"I am absolutely thrilled with my recent purchase of a travel iron! It has exceeded all my expectations in terms of performance and convenience. This iron heats up incredibly quickly and comes with useful accessories such as a spray bottle, a safety heating mat, instructions, and a travel bag. I particularly love using this iron on my linen clothes during my travels. It effortlessly removes all wrinkles, leaving my clothes looking fresh and neat. I highly recommend this travel iron for its exceptional durability and compact design."

"I've bought portable steamers before, but they often leave my clothes wet. This little iron is well made and incredibly compact. I appreciate how the handle collapses for easy storage. It heats very quickly and has ironed everything I've used it on with ease. The silicone grip pad is GENIUS, but I need to be careful to place the iron directly on it to avoid burns. I do find it a bit heavier than I'd like, but overall, it's a great product I would buy again."

"I tested this iron as soon as it arrived. It's lightweight and portable, and I like that it includes its own spray bottle and travel bag. The switch for voltages is clearly labeled and easy to use. However, I was a bit disappointed that there are no heat settings, and it didn't seem to get hot enough for my needs. It took longer to iron my cotton shirt, but it eventually did the job."

"I plugged in the iron and waited two minutes to heat up, but it didn't heat as expected! I’m really upset with my $61.00 purchase!"

"I really like this dry iron! It heats up fast and the metal body gets very hot. Perfect for my needs!"

"The iron works well, but when I received it, the upper plate was separate and it made a strange 'tuk tuk' sound when turned on."
