I have always wanted one of the Oreck's just missed one at a garage sale. I have the "Shark" it's heavy and puts out a lot of steam when I need it. But I also have a Crofton that I got at Aldi's 12 years ago and it works great and turns off without the beeping (which I can't stand) and it heats right back up. I have a really "Old" cordless iron that has to be from the 50's which works great got it at a thrift store. See if you can't go and try it out at the store.
