I iron made the other lights blink madly a few days ago, then last night it crackled and started smoking! :shock: It was a Shark that I've had less than 6 months I think--and the steam button stuck after having it a week. So...off to Wal-Mart to see what I can find.
I bought a Sunbeam Classic...and just used it but the bottom does not glide! The Shark had a stainless bottom I think and this is teflon??? Hate it!! Does it get better or am I returning it tomorrow for the $6 one??? :|

I have a leaky SHARK too.... I contacted the manufacture( since I had already gotten rid of the box/recpt. They gave me a phone # to call to a repair center and an address to ship it too... that was the extent of their help ( I'd had it a couple of weeks) I won't buy another shark.... I love the stainless bottom. Shipping there and back plus be with a iron for weeks?? ( we do iron clothes here too) I decided to just leave poor review/feedback on their product, and customere service instead...I paid #70 bucks for this thing!!

I'm on my third iron in about a year and a half. 2 Rowentas and now a cheapy off beat brand. The Rowentas started leaking like sieves. The last one just ran water all over. What a mess. They never did produce much steam, then just went to the leaking thing. I had a great old Rowenta for years before the bad ones. You took the reservoir off to fill it. I loved that iron, but it finally gave up the ghost. The new one has a stainless steel sole plate, it steams pretty good, does not have auto off, and is small and lightweight. It feels like the 20 dollars I paid, but at least it works. What is the matter with irons these days??
