I have had a Black and Decker ProFinish 705 for about 10 years. It has an automatic shut off which is nice except sometimes it shuts off before I'm ready for it to. Use only distilled water in it, the iron and mineral deposits I understand is what causes an iron to clog up and spit and sputter. This one irons like a dream after all these years. I can't remember what I paid for it, but I can assure you it was not $350. Probably more like $40
