I bought the cheapest iron at Wal Mart recently (GE I think) for $6.97. I love it. It does not have an auto shut off, so it stays hot! Just have to be sure to unplug when I'm done, but if it doesn't last long, I won't be heartbroken. I had a Rowenta and it started leaking after a few months, I'll never pay that much for an iron again!
