And hard to find gadget. An older, different version of this finally fell apart, and I found it impossible to replace in any land-based store -- probably because people don't iron much anymore except when sewing. Although it takes a minute to set up, it is well worth it to be able to keep the cord out of the way of the iron.

Abolute must to keep your iron cord out of your way. I had one of these for many years from Polder and broke it. Purchased another brand that turned out to be junk. Found this product again and once again I am happy!!

After getting frustrated with the iron cord getting in the way, I AM NOW STRESS FREE!

I had great hopes for this iron cord minder since it had all positive reviews, but alas, it wasn't to be so. I do a LOT of sewing and have a heavy duty iron with a thick appliance cord that would not go through the very narrow cordminder opening for the cord. I mean, not even close! And then the weight of my iron cord weighted down the entire cordminder so it bent backwards. This is a lightweight meant for the typical household iron.

This simple little gadget works so well for so little money. Saves me much frustration. Purchased in Dec. 2004 and still works like new!

It gets the job done. The one my grandmother's was all metal and I think that made a difference in it's longevity. This one has plastic parts that I do not care for because with plastic comes wear and tear, and because of them I seriously doubt this one will last 40+ years, (but then again I probably won't either). Still, for the money, it keeps the cord out of your way and that's what I bought it for. I looked the options over and this was the most durable for the money. I have no regrets in making the purchase.

Just what I was looking for - it keeps the ironing cord up off the board and item being ironed. I was trying to replace an old one that was broken and could not find one in any of the stores, so I went to Amazon and found one.

The cord holder can be folded down parallel with the ironing board when not used. This feature made the cord holder too weak to hold the cord up while using the iron. I am using a consumer model Black and Decker iron. The cord is the same thickness and weight of most irons sold today.

Also, the clamping screw used to hold the cord holder to the ironing board could not keep the cord holder secure to the board. Its contact area was too small to get a good grip on the board & it would come loose after 10 minutes of ironing. Of course, the cord constantly falling over didn't help matters any.

I have now super glued the cord holder in place to keep it upright while holding the cord. Also, I have removed the plastic holding bolt from the clamp. I am using a small sliding bar clamp from Lowes to hold the thing to the ironing board.

I looked in about every store for a cord holder. Then I tried Amazon and they had just what I was looking for. I was forever tramping on my iron cord. The Polder 90505 iron cordholder did the trick. Now I can walk around my ironing board without getting caught on the cord. It is very well made and sturdy and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. If you are looking for a cordholder, this is the one to buy.

Thought from time to time that a cord holder for my iron would be beneficial but now that I've purchased the holder I'm wondering why I waited so long. I highly recommend this product. I do a lot of sewing which requires a lot of pressing and keeping the ironing cord out of the way enhances the ironing experience. An excellent product.
