I bought this to replace the current iron that just wasn't cutting it - also a Sunbeam. Paid $20 at Target. My parents have a Sunbeam that works well - a slightly different model. This iron advertises as no spit - but it did just that the first time I used it. Didn't get the wrinkles out of an oxford shirt, so, back to Target. I got the highly rated Black & Decker D2020 instead for about $40. It works great. It has a digital readout, which I don't care about, the auto shut-off, of course, and it's weighty, which might help. I would suggest checking it out.

I love this iron. I had a Rowenta that didn't do half the job, was three times the price, and committed suicide by jumping off the ironing board. Disgusted, I picked up this little gem and I am delighted. It's light weight, but feels solid. It generates copious amounts of steam, heats up fast, stays on for a decent amount of time (before automatically shutting off), and best of all, is stable on its rear end. The Rowenta kept tipping over, was heartless about shutting itself off, and wasn't nearly as nimble and efficient as this lovely little iron.

Why pay more?

I have had this for 1.5 years and it works wonderfully. Doesn't drip, you can clean it and it does a good job. Automatically shuts off if you forget about it. Excellent product. I highly recommend it, but if you are being nostalgic, get it in black.
