Household Essentials 175 Flexible Iron Cord Minder | Silver Powder Coated | 18-Inch High

Contrary to some other reviews mentioning a "plastic screw", this cord minder has a large/substantial STAINLESS STEEL bolt and a steel bracket. Can't get much sturdier than this! Because my ironing board has a rolled edge all around, I did have to use a small 1/2" block of wood to securely install the cord minder (a thicker block, like from a 2-by-4 will work, too). It does have plastic parts that secure the cord. These parts are flexible and seem durable. The cord minder will rotate parallel to the edge of the ironing board only one direction (counterclockwise when standing at the board), the cord minder will not fall forward while you're ironing. Also, this cord minder seems to be a bit longer than others I've used, so the cord is held high above the board and doesn't tend to brush the top of clothes being ironed. All-in-all, this is a great cord minder and a HUGE improvement over the previous one I was using, which drove me nuts falling forward, not holding the cord securely, etc.

I love this iron cord. It attaches easily to the ironing board and the top holds the cord tight. The whole rod bends when you are pulling on the cord so makes it easy to iron without the cord getting in the way. The top that holds the cord does wear out in time but it works better than anything else on the market. I do recommend it.
