i also have a shark euro pro and love it. It was hard to find an iron that did NOT have teflon coating on the bottom and had lots of holes.
It does seem to heat up fast and it does have an auto shut off, but many of them do these days - i've just had to get used to it. I think it heats back up quick enough
I just can't spend $100 on an iron - it killed me to spend i think it was $50 or $60 on the Euro pro....
