The best iron I've ever had!

I LOVE this iron! I had an old ray of sunshine that was fine but it was old and died on me last week. Read many reviews on this and about 30 other irons in my price range. I chose this one based on the positive reviews, the color, and the retractable cord. I wasn't even sure I wanted the retractable cord option (yes!), but it wasn't offered on any other I could afford. I knit a lot, several hours a day. I have never had such smooth and beautiful seams until using this iron. The vapor is strong, there are no leaks, light but not igniting, the soleplate is non-stick. The color is amazing, especially compared to my old boring brown iron. The water tank is very easy to fill with bottled water and the fill hole is capped, which I think is important. The only complaint is with the dial. It's black on blue so the markings are hard to see and it's under the handle on the tank. This makes setup a bit more difficult. But that's all and I can deal with it. I don't expect this iron to last as long as my old one, they just don't make it like they used to. But it does have a 3 year full iron warranty and a lifetime soleplate warranty so if it breaks I'm sure I can replace it. If this lasts 3 years I will be very happy and feel like I got my money's worth.
