I have gone through sooo many irons.... hi end to cheep... all burn out and I do NOT like the auto turn off....I want it hot when I need it... I have resorted to stopping in at any thrift store and buying them ...because cheep is good and they last as long as new ones... My best one has bee a small travel iron that I use at the side of my machine and it is so efficient and HOT!!! :thumbup:
