Help! I need a clothes iron. I bought a Eureka, and I hate the thing. [View all]

It's waaaay too big and clumsy to use, plus the steam shoots out really forcefully without actually smoothing wrinkles! Don't ask my why that is . . . I want a smaller, plainer iron that's more old-fashioned, but still gets hot and steamy enough for the toughest denim.

Any suggestions?
