It’s been a while since we have done a giveaway, so let’s do on for a Durathon Electric Iron with Retractable Cord by Hamilton Beach. Ok? 🙂
I don’t know about you, but I have found an iron to be a huge part of my creating process. The iron we had was one we picked out when we first got married (over seven years ago!). At that point in time, we were buying the cheapest stuff we could to make it fit into our budget. That meant some of the things we bought were not the best. The iron was an iron, but not an awfully good one and I wanted a better one. I received this iron c/o Hamilton Beach and was more than happy to send my old one away. It’s been a lot better with this new one to use during my sewing projects…take that wrinkly fabric! But I really like some features that we didn’t have on our other iron, like the retractable cord and the large opening to pour the water in. I haven’t spilled any water yet 😉
This iron is one of their best-selling irons they have had in their history (and they’re over a 100 years old, so that’s a long time). What makes it great for crafters, sewers and DIY’ers is its amazing steam performance. It also has a non-stick sole plate that is suppose to be virtually indestructible – so they gave it a ten year warranty! You can read more about the iron here. Now for the giveaway. I was able to set it up on rafflecopter so it’s super easy to enter. It is only for US residents. Enter up to four different times. Winner will be contacted once giveaway is over and iron will be delivered via the Hamilton Beach distribution center.
I would love this! I’m in the same boat as you were–making do with a functional, yet poorly performing iron. Mine isn’t bad enough to justify spending money to replace it, but I would love to win a new fancy one! Thanks for the giveaway

That looks like a great iron. I would definitely love to have this if for nothing else than the retractable cord. And the two way steam is awesome. I had an iron like that before and really loved that feature.
Thanks, this iron looks awesome. I have an oldie, not particularly goldie iron. No steam. emerald99(at)comcast(dot)net
Thanks for offering such a great iron! I’ve long stopped using the steam on mine because it spews and sputters murky water on my fabric. emerald99 at comcast dot net
my iron actually fell apart while I was using it. The metal plate separated from the plastic top part while I was picking it up off of its heel and the metal part fell on my other hand and burnt me.
My iron is horrible. We were recently on vacation and the iron in the hotel seemed like a dream iron. I would love a new iron!
I would love to win this! Steam is soo important when you sew. and the retractable cord? LOVE!
Awesome iron! I asked for an iron for Christmas but didn’t get one. 🙁 winning one would be sweet! 🙂

So many projects, so few irons that can hold up to the usage!! Backups are essential. Thanks for the opportunity to win one.
A good iron makes a big difference!
It’s amazing how much I hate to iron unless I’m sewing!!! A good iron makes all the difference.
I would love a new iron! My current iron has a tendency to spit water instead of steam sometimes which isn’t very helpful. I love the retractable cord feature on this iron. It would make storing it a breeze!
