I have a Sunbeam turbo steam master and a Proctor Silex (smaller and lighter). The smaller PS gets hotter for me and is mainly to take to a guild if I ever join. Sunbeam is heavier and I use it on yardage after ironing after prewashing. If I can get 5 years out of them I'll be happy. Already have 2 out of the Sunbeam. we'll see.
