    I got my Rowenta Pro at Tuesday Morning for $59.00. You may want to check them out. They don't always have the same stuff so you may have to check back. Is it worth it??? YES!!! This is my second one. My sister fell in love with my first one and I gave it to her. This iron is the best IMHO.

    I use a Rowenta travel iron which has a ton of steam holes. It's small and compact and folds up for travel to workshops and such. I bought it at Bed Bath and Beyond and waited until I had received a 20% off coupon so it would cost me only $31 approximately. Love it!

    I've used the Oliso at the quilt shop where I took quilting lessons. I couldn't remember to not sit it up, so it was annoying. However, if you owned it, you'd get used to that.

    I have a Sunbeam Steam Master I got at Wal-Mart. I don't remember what I paid for it, but it was not expensive. I love it. I also have a Rowenta which I've had for years. Not happy with it. It has a dial selector and it got stuck. I cannot move it. It still works & I use it just for putting on the t-shirt transfers I use to make my photo quilts. It is stuck on the temp I need for that. I would never pay that much for an iron again--I don't think. :)

    I quit buying all these fancy smachy irons, went to the goodwill and Salvation arm stores and bought a few 3.00 dollar ones and guess what????? they are lasting longer than my Rowenta did!!!!I also do not like the auto shut off... I want it hot when I am ready to use it... just a thought....:)

    I bit the bullet 30 YEARS ago and bought a Naomoto HYS-58 Gravity Feed Steam Iron HYS58. It has been the best investment I ever made. 8 hrs continuous steam ability with the 2.5L water reservoir. It's designed for professional dry cleaners, but I've used it for sewing and quilting and will never need or want another iron!

    Great idea.

    Shark has a great iron out there too. I have both a Rowenta and the Shark. Most times I prefer the Shark.

    I have two T-FAL's (one upstairs, one downstairs). I like them a lot. Heat up fast, have self cutoff (after an hour of not being used) and a super long cord. They cost about $25-$30

    I have the Rowenta steam generator and love it. This is my second Rowenta. The first one took so many bumps on the concrete floor that it didn't work well anymore. Irons labelled as craft don't shut off automatically.(at least the last time I researched them)
