I bought a Shark (the $100 one on sale for $50) and I don't like it because it is heavy and shuts off every few minutes which drives me crazy. I have a Russel Hobbs ($20)which changes colour at different temperatures and shuts off after 15 minutes and a Toastmaster ($12)which is a good weight but doesn't shut off. I like both of these better than my poor unloved and rarely used Shark. I think it's going to the guild Auction in September!
