If you set down into it's heating base, it stays hot enough for all my projects so far, and is pointy at both ends. It is a Panasonic and it was the most expensive at about $99.

I had a rowenta iron that stopped working or I should say worked depending on the position of the cord. My husband was able to take the iron apart and found that a wire was broken. Was able to reconnect the wire and the iron is fine. Might fine someone to take a look at it and see if they can find the problem; expecially if is doesn't cost anything. Nothing to lose since the iron is not working anyway. If he couldn't fix it I was not going to purchase another expensive iron again.
