I have had 6 of the O iron. Now the 7th all replaced.
Have had other "just had to have" irons. All top brand and price. I most use the $10 one from the big box or from Goodwill. So don't sweat getting "the best" there is no such thing in my opinion. The brand one quilt likes and loves, another will hate. If you had to toss the %10 iron every year you would still be $$ ahead money wize from buying the high priced ones. Go to the big box and buy the least expensive that will do what you want it to do.
