Just recently won one during the Florida Shop Hop. I love it. It is the hottest iron I have ever owned. I don't use steam in my irons, I use a wool mat and spray if needed. Usually, spray isn't necessary. I did purchase a silicon trivet to place it on. It raises about 1/2 ", the muslin covered board I use for ironing was getting extremely hot. The only habit I have had to change is I can't press while the iron cools. It has to be plugged in for the feet to be up. Otherwise, the feet are down. Would I buy one. NO. I can purchase all the irons I will ever need at Wally World for the retail price of this one.
