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.
The iron I have is no longer available. It is quite old but still going strong. I am not familiar with the lower price model but maytag has always been a quality product in my humble opinion. I have the cordless one and like it very much!
