I quit buying irons that were over $30. Learned my lesson after the third expensive iron. I use the Black and Decker Classic. It gets hot, has good steam and inexpensive. I bought two extra ones when they were not auto shut off as I knew they would not be made anymore. Lowe's use to sell the no auto shut off Classic. All are auto shut off now. I buy the really cheap irons at Walmart for $7 - $9 to use for fusibles. When I need to take a door prize for guild I take one of these irons. They are always received with a smile.
