I purchased this iron primarily because it was light weight. Plus my previous Black and Decker iron lasted over 20 years! Unfortunately this iron never heated properly and could not get wrinkles out of most fabrics. It was completely useless on cottons. I struggled along with it for the last year and a half or so until it just up and quit this week. Even if I was able to find the receipt to return it under warranty I doubt I would and I'm sure the shipping would be more than the unit cost anyway, so...Sure wish the good ol' USA was still the manufacturing giant it used to be.
