I have been quilter for 30 some years. I was using my 42 year old Sunbeam without problems until it fell and broke. I have been using the Singer Expert Finish iron for about a year. It works fine until I have to clean the water reservoir which is often. The Variable Steam Control/Self Cleaning Dial for Descaling is a problem for me. I have small hands and must hold the iron in one hand while holding the dial with the other hand. The dial doesn't stay in the descaling position. It continually snaps back and adds double the time to clean it. A very poor design. This iron will not last as long as my Sunbeam. Will I buy another, absolutely not.
