A Good Iron with a Design Flaw
I would rate this iron a 3.5; it heats up quickly and the ability to control the temperature is a definite plus. I also appreciate the longer barrel. My only issue with this iron is where the ON/OFF button is placed. During normal use I find myself accidentally turning the iron off. While it is not a major thing, it is definitely an annoyance because I'm constantly turn off the iron without intending to.  If not for this flaw, I would have given it a 4.5 stars.
Rating: 3 stars
