5/8/2023 0 Comments Steam iron reviews 2016![]() ![]() ![]() I talked to one of the technicians (his name was Luigi) who told me the iron is designed to never get hotter than 350 degrees F. I thought maybe I got a defective one (hope, hope) so I called the company, which has excellent customer service, BTW. I loved the Velocity so much for all the other reasons you mentioned, so I was really disappointed. With my old (30 years!)

So I have to tell you a side story… I set this up in my studio the day I received it. Oh, and since that time I came to love the OVO Travel Iron too. How about an iron that delivers on every promise and quietly does an excellent job so you can sew more? That’s what I’m talking about. It looked completely normal. What could be so different? Well, I’m jumping for joy now. I have tried LOTS of different irons, and quite frankly, I didn’t immediately jump when Reliable asked if I wanted to review their new Velocity 200IR. So here is an iron review that you want to read… This little-mentioned (but hard working) appliance can make your sewing time fun and productive or frustrating and unproductive (i.e. ![]()
