I am hoping because it is an older iron it will get nice and hot and will stay that way (no auto shutoff). Time will tell.
I too, bought one of these on ebay. I have only used it a few times so far. I think I love it. I use it next to my sewing machine, on a home made ironing board for small seams within the block I'm sewing. A large iron would not work in this small space.
Well I picked mine up at the post office yesterday and today has been chaotic so I haven't even plugged it in yet but I will later and give it try. I love the size and shape of it so now if it gets to temperature I will be a very happy camper. No pun intended but I do plan to use this little iron in our RV while travelling.
