I haven't had much success with Shark products either. I had a Black & Decker iron that I liked. When it bit the dust I got a Rowenta, the lower end model. I don't like it as well. Last week I was ironing some material that I'd washed, still damp, and was having trouble getting it dry. I ended up using my little travel GE iron (c. 1960) that I bought on ebay a few years back. It gets really hot, doesn't shut off, and I finished the job in half the time even though the iron plate is smaller than the Rowenta.
