After spending too much money on inferior irons, I researched and found my gem on eBay. The one thing I did not want was that stupid auto shut off. Geez. I think mine is a Black and Decker but can't be sure. Have had it about four years and it is great and costs around $11 plus shipping. Gets hot, can put water in with no issues and it turns off when I decide. (Its brother is waiting under my cutting board for when this one goes kaput.)
