Rowenta Iron for the dapper working man
You want one the the made in Germany lines from Rowenta, such as http://www.amazon.com/Rowenta-DW9080-Steamium-Platinum-Soleplate/dp/B002MCYXA2/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
Although if your problem is that you iron plastic and get it stuck to the baseplate, a better iron might only be so much help. Its non-stick will be tougher than a cheap one and stand up to more cleaning, but maybe what you really need is a proper ironing board so you have an uncluttered, dedicated workspace and are not likely to iron plastic by accident.
no, we use flush cutters, trust me.

Iron + an ironing board
Here's a good cheap combo. Don't fill the iron with water, there's a lot of negative reviews saying it has a leaking issue. Buy a separate spray bottle and fill that with water.

For an iron that will last a long time and perform well, get a heavy iron that has a good steam and spray function so you can dampen your shirts adequately before you iron. All irons you'll look at will have a water tank, but not all sprays are equal- some suck. Some irons drip and drizzle water along with some steam, and better irons will produce a thick, heavy steam with lots of vapor. Also, some nicer irons will have different features, such as automatic shut-off if you leave the iron on for too long. For another example, this Oliso has an (unnecessary) "levitating" feature where you can leave the iron facing downward on your clothing and your clothes won't burn. Here is a video. Yes, it's a feature that adds parts that can potentially break, but it seems to get great reviews.
If you have cash to blow, consider some nicer iron like an Oliso. Rowenta also makes a nice one, not as pricey as an Oliso. If you're on a budget, don't worry about it so much, you can iron clothes with cheap stuff too. Just read reviews and make sure you're not looking at one that might break within a couple of years. A lot of the cheaper ones might start to leak after a year or two, for example.
Also, make sure to get a good ironing board. Get one with a mesh base so water doesn't soak into the board, and make sure it has enough padding up top so the mesh doesn't make an imprint on your clothing.
Suggestions would be based off your budget, but I'll throw in a vote for the Oliso line of irons, just because.
The best thing I ever did ironing-wise was to buy a decent quality iron. I highly recommend this iron by Rowenta. It's 1700 watts so it puts out steam like nobody's business, which makes your ironing time considerably shorter. Plus it's made in Germany, not China, which is a huge plus to me.
if you really plan to use it for sewing you should look into a gravity iron. They are roughly $100. They hold like a gallon of water and are designed to stay on for hours and hours while you sew.
I bought a tiny inexpensive (~$15) one that I used for a while, but the plastic that held the top on started to deform from screwing on so I upgraded to a Rowenta handheld steamer. It's a huge improvement in terms of water capacity, power, and ability to steam constantly or by trigger and it was on sale on Amazon.
I can't recommend Rowentas as a BIFL product. Rowentas (even the German made ones) have a reputation for working great for a while but ultimately breaking down within a year or two. I have seen this myself with a made in Germany DW9080. One only need look at the reviews on Amazon and you'll quickly notice that a lot of the great reviews are for new buyers who love the iron (it does feel and function wonderfully for a while) and the many negative reviews are longer-term users who's iron died after 12-15 months of use. I have a feeling that Rowenta's were built to last sometime ago and they gained a strong reputation, but the current irons are designed feature first and dependability second (I have no evidence of that last statement).
Having said that, I don't have anything else to suggest, cause I'm still searching for a solid replacement.

Also, Zippers, buttons, snaps, laces, hook-and-eye, and buckles make alternatives to Velcro
Budget? I got a gravity iron for Christmas, and it's AWESOME. It's the sort of iron that tailors and costume shops use. But, it is $110.
If you can't get it to work again, [Rowenta] (https://www.amazon.com/Rowenta-Stainless-Soleplate-Accessories-1500-Watt/dp/B01M09YUSD/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1500462719&sr=8-8&keywords=hand-held+steamer) makes steamers and they are quite good quality.
Oops, I just realized you might be looking for steam cleaners rather than clothes steamers. Sorry!
You could put this one into a drawer (it's available on Amazon for $150 but the manufacturer's website has better photos): http://www.rev-a-shelf.com/p-7-drawer-accessories-fold-out-ironing-board-for-bathroomvanity.aspx
Or this one would mount to a vertical piece of wood, IE, the back of a wardrobe: https://www.amazon.com/Hafele-America-568-66-700-Wall-Mounted-Ironing/dp/B001DSY7YI?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_1
I think if you wanted to mount it in a wardrobe, buying it separate and choosing it would be most affordable. I don't see any with one that comes included.

I got https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005JAIHOM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and heart it a lot. Super badass and cheap as crap. I have ~3 years run time in it.
Tip for everyone who online shops: negative reviews are the most helpful reviews. Are the majority of negative reviews clearly from morons? Product is probably pretty good. Irons tend to leak if you tilt them too much instead of hold them horizontal, for example. Can I be a sarcastic asshole? When water leaks onto your garment, what I like to do is heat up the garment with a really hot, flat object (irons work great at this, btw). Also, when a Rowenta iron has 1600 positive reviews and 160 negatives- then it's good.
Rowenta makes great irons. Many negative reviews mention quality control is better on their models that are made in Germany though. Get a Made in Germany Rowenta if you can help it.
Oliso is on sale, if you want to browse another good brand with fancy technology that you don't need.
Both, at the same damn time - buy an iron with steam. Like /u/K1NGKHAN said Rowenta is a good brand. I bought the $45 one on amazon and it's been treating me very well. link
I love these. The blades are small enough to get into the really small areas.
https://www.amazon.com/XURON-170-II-Micro-Shear-Flush-Cutter/dp/B07BSSG48F
I am majorly guilty of throwing my clothes all over the place when trying to figure out what I'm wearing in the morning (or when getting into bed in the dark because my SO is asleep). I also tend to leave clean clothes in the dryer and forget about them for several days, and sometimes "fluffing" doesn't really work.
My old solution was to rewash wrinkly clothes, which is bad for the fibers, bad for my water bill, and just PISSED ME OFF to do because it's absurd. But I hated ironing more. Instead of learning from my mistakes and just putting my shit away like an adult, I got a steamer and my life is forever changed.
Like someone else said here, steaming is actually a blast for me and after the 2 minute heatup period it takes like 30 seconds per garment, max. Ironing is the bane of my existence and I will only do it if absolutely necessary, which luckily since my steamer purchase over a year ago, it hasn't been. I have a PurSteam that I got for about $25 on Amazon. It is small enough to pack with me for most trips, and everyone who travels with me is always jealous and asks to borrow it– I got my parents hooked right away.
Now that I have a steamer, I wash my clothes considerably less often and feel comfortable refreshing them between wears with dat steam. My stuff lasts longer now and I don't begrudgingly rewash clean stuff to avoid ironing!
This doesn't answer your question about iron brands, but I've heard some really good things about portable garment steamers like this that are inexpensive and often easier than ironing.

I used 5-6 small squares of dual lock. Rock solid.
https://www.amazon.com/3M-Dual-Lock-Reclosable-Fastener/dp/B07C1WW11V
I have this one and I love it; looks like the price went up since I made my purchase though :( The only other iron I had used before this was a super crappy Proctor-Silex iron though, so needless to say it was a night and day difference.
I should also note that the one above seems to be the 'Cadillac' model of Rowenta irons, and I would imagine that their slightly lower end models would also perform excellently. This appears to be an awfully similar model on the site you had linked originally; I couldn't tell you what the difference is between the 9030 and the 9080 though, perhaps another user can enlighten us.
I love my Rowenta
You can get an iron for around $10. Freezer Paper is around $8. Your shirts will come out much better using the proper tools. Good luck!
This might help, too. http://www.amazon.com/Ironing-Blanket-Grey-21-75-28-25/dp/B0010XSKRG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408322516&sr=8-1&keywords=Table+Top+Ironing+Pads
No problem. Did you see those ironing mats in the related items on the amazon page?
http://www.amazon.com/Ironing-Blanket-Grey-21-75-28-25/dp/B0010XSKRG/ref=pd_sim_hg1
Seems like a good solution for 9 bucks.
u are wrong, 1.6LPM will buy this not 3k one..
I got this one at Target originally (I think).
Was on sale, worth 140$ CAD.
You shouldn't be paying that much. This is the model I got.
Rowenta. I have this model:

I recently got my mom an Oliso steam iron and she absolutely LOVES it.
https://www.amazon.com/Oliso-TG1050-Smart-iTouch-Technology/dp/B002R1MOOA/
If you get bed bugs you need to wash all your cloths and dry them in the drier on the hottest setting, you need to steam clean thoroughly your carpet and all the other things and get a couple mattress bags and put your box frame and mattress in a mattress bag after steam cleaning it.
By steam it I mean steam the fuck out of all the spots.
I used one like this and it worked like a charm: http://www.amazon.com/Steamfast-SF510-SF-510-Fabric-Steamer/dp/B004VMTJ4G/ref=sr_1_37?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1454032582&sr=1-37&keywords=steamer
I have one of these bad boys from Steamfast. It works awesome even on tough fabrics and iron-ed in wrinkles.
I did a way too deep analysis on this about a year ago and came up with this. It gets the job done and the price was pretty competitive.
See, irons work like this:
I like buying irons every two years!
I just want an iron that'll get shit done for a long time.
I have so much money my iron has horns!
Only $99.99 with free shipping ;-)
I actually have their favorite from before B&D, a T-Fal.
