I have a $20 Black and Decker one from Walmart. Never had a problem with it! The ONLY thing I don't like about it is that it has an automatic shut off after a certain amount of time, so, for an example, I have to reset the darn thing 5 times when pressing a completed quilt top. Usually it's not a huge issue, and helpful because I will sometimes get distracted and walk away, leaving it on...but when I'm USING it, it peeves me off. lol
