I don't know about that kind of iron, but I'll tell you that I bought an "American" brand from Target a month ago and the first time I used it I got a mild shock. I took it back soooo fast. It was made in China. Quality control just is not there in China, in poor Bangladesh or many of these developing countries (besides the immorality of not protecting their workers). I lived in Asia for years and loved it, but they are trying to cut too many corners in their development (management greed is a real issue!). I think Japan and South Korea are reliable, but the rest are still struggling. From now on I buy only from countries that are realiable. To get a shock from a brand new iron is just too much!
