Wow, glad I took a look at this. I think I will look into the Maytag Iron, about $45 on Amazon. At the least I will always look for the stainless steel plates. I had an Oliso, overheated and fried with 3 months. so never spending tons of money again. I currently have a Black n Decker from Walmart, has worked well, but the teflon (?) plate is a mess now, wearing off and not allowing me to iron smoothly. Has lasted me 6 years for, what?.. $19 or $29. Can't beat that!
