I have one and it'll take the wrinkle out or set it for life! I've had it for long time. DH hates it. I keep telling him how can you hate something you don't even use? GEEZ $3. If it didn't have the cord, I'd have purchased it and had small appliance man or tried myself to replace it. Not that hard.

That works for me also. And I love my old iron too. I still have my first iron a Sunbeam from the 70's that still works, is heavy and steams well without spitting. I was leaving my iron on without realizing it, so my DH found the connector for a light bulb to put in the power strip. Now when the strip is on, the light is on. It has been easier to shut things off when I walk out of the room. I haven't missed the light bulb shining.
