My lights do that occasionally, too. If you don't mind the cord, I would get a Rowenta, but do check the reviews (I usually go to Amazon for reviews) before you purchase. There a number of styles and prices vary by model. A lot of your choice comes down to preference. Steel soleplate or teflon. I like the steel. Cor or cordless. I like cordless. 1200, 1400, 1500 or as high as 1800 watts. Want one that is hot enough or you won't be happy. Mine is 1500 or 1600 (I think) and sufficiently hot. Steam or dry? I like the steam option and can turn it off for dry. You gotta investigage and make the final decision based on your pocketbook and/or preferences.
