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!
Maytag M-800 $45.66 on Amazon has the same tangle free cord and same auto shutoff as the Hamilton Beach I just purchased for $25.62 but has the stainless steel sole plate, which I prefer. It also has a removable water tank, which I don't care one way or the other about. It also has the 2 year guarantee. (The M-400 doesn't say anything about auto shutoff, which for me is a must have.) I'm going to return the Hamilton Beach and get the M-800 for the $20 difference, so I can have the stainless sole plate. Oh, I forgot to say, both irons have 8 ft. long tangle free cords. No extension cord needed now.
