I used to have one. It seemed to cool down very quickly and then I would have to wait for it to heat back up again. That's why I say I 'used to' have one! Don't waste your money. Now I use a very inexpensive lightweight iron with a teflon soleplate that I bought at Walmart. It's wonderful. I have decided that fancy expensive irons are not worth the money. I know because I have had them! I love my cheap little iron, and when it dies it won't cost an arm and leg to get another. It's a lightweight Toastmaster, and has been going strong for years.
