I used this iron for about 6 mo. There were temperature issues; the temperature seemed to fluctuate. Then it scorched 2 pairs of white jeans last fall. In over 40 years of ironing, I had never scorched anything--but, well, I thought I must have turned the temperature up too high on this iron. I was afraid to use it after that but really needed it last night for some jeans I had embroidered. I used a press cloth to protect the embroidery--and this iron scorched the press cloth! I was REALLY surprised because I had turned the temperature up only to the Wool setting because of concerns that the metallic embroidery thread might melt. This is a horrible iron.

I had a Black & Decker previously; it didn't scorch, but it wasn't the high-performing iron I need. Goodbye Black & Decker!
