Comment:
I have had this iron for 3 years and haven't had any issues that I've read about from other reviewers. I use the iron every morning to iron my wife's (she takes so long getting ready, we save time by having me iron) and my dress clothes for work. I've used it on all different type of fabrics including silk, microfiber and of course cotton. <br /><br />The auto-off feature is easy enough to turn back on by rocking it back and forth. The auto-off has a about a 5 minute delay. Steam burst is excellent for those super stubborn wrinkles. Overall, for the price this is one of the best irons I've owned.

Comment:
This is a very frustrating iron. After one minute of ironing it shuts off even if I am moving it and using it. One minute is not long enough. Then I have to unplug it and reset the temperature control.

Comment:
The fabric selector button is positioned in a very inappropriate place. When ironing, the hand constantly seems to hit this button and unknowingly turns the selector off.
How long have you owned it:
One-to-three months
