I love my T-fal. $40 at Target and I will never own any thing else. As far as the lights browning out, In the winter if I try to iron it blows the circuit but its an old house and for some reason the people before ran the added on room to the same circuit as the living room. And we run space heaters. Its not a problem in the summer. It always reminds me of the old Green Acres episode where her tells her "you can plug in a 1 and a 2 but not a 2 and a 3" or something like that. LOL
As soon as we can we are going to get some additional wiring done.
