I have a shark, and I hate it. It tips over all by itself with no cause, sometimes landing on the floor, and one time burning a hole in the ironing board cover because I didn't notice it had flopped. From the start is leaked water copiously, no matter what temperature and steam selection I chose. I'm this close to ordering the plain, no steam, solid faceplate iron offered in the Vermont Country Store catalog. I went to my very first quilt retreat in Oct '10, and everyone there used the same iron on dry setting with a spray bottle. Now I use mine that way all the time.
