I had read many great reviews about this iron, so I bought one thru Home Depot online. Sorry to say, I am taking it back. It will not stay hot, and varies from hot to cold. At first I thought it was the outlet, but I tried it in several outlets and even a few power strips. I don't know if it's just a lemon in the bunch, but I was so disappointed. I am back to using my old steam iron, but without water.
