I had a Shark when I first started quilting....I liked it but when I replaced it I bought a Rowenta. That one I hated. It leaked all the time and now is my back-up or for messy projects. I now have the cordless Panasonic. It is great and doesn't scrunch seams when I am pressing. I think there are several quilt sites that have it on sale right now. Good luck and I hope you get an iron you love.
