So funny! I bought the very same cheapie from Walmart! And, yes it will spit if tank is filled, likes cup half full. But it is a "hottie"

Over a year ago I had to switch to a lighter weight iron due to a shoulder injury. At that time I had a pink Olisio iron which I loved and which my DD loves now. I got a cordless Panasonic which heats up fast. The water receptacle is removable from the iron. I remove it when done ironing for the day. Sometimes something needs to be ironed while on the cutting mat. It is so easy to move one of those padded ironing mats to the table, put it underneath the fabric and press away.

I have always used Rowenta irons. This past week the one that I've had over 6 years finally bit the dust, and I immediantly ordered a new one from Amazon. [h=1]Rowenta DW9280 Steam Force 1800-Watt Professional Digital LED Display Iron with Stainless Steel Soleplate[/h]

I pick mine up at places like Goodwill or salvation army! Pay a couple of dollars for them. But I am not really picky about all the extra things on a iron. It just needs to be very clean on the bottom and it will work on what I want it for.

I had a Rowenta would not own another one, so now I buy cheap irons at Walmart and right now I have a Black & Decker it doesn't leak, works great and will not break the bank when I need to purchase another iron like the Rowenta.
