I love this iron so much, I bought two more - one as my backup and one for my best quilting friend.
Pekish, after reading about your love of the Dritz Petite Press, I bought one at Michaels, brought it home and tried it out and it is great. I got it with 1/2 off coupon making it 20 dollars which is the cheapest I could find it, and it also looks like it is made well, so I am looking forward to some good times with this iron. Now, my new Rowenta is another story, it is awful. Doesn't shut off when it is supposed, dosen't heat correctly and I feel like throwing it out the window, so no more Rowentas for me. I will try a cheapy from Walmart first.
