I read a bunch of the reviews before buying this iron-- which was a top pick at the Consumer Reports website. I was worried about the water-refill lid breaking, but have not had any problems with that yet. But I was not worried about the steam adjuster being in the wrong place, and that has bothered me just a little. Sometimes when I'm ironing on a low heat setting with low steam, my finger accidently bumps the steam up to a high steam setting, which the tempature can't keep up with, so I get water spots on what I'm ironing. Not a huge deal, since I don't have a closet full of delicate fabrics. I have a very wash-n-wear, mommy type wardrobe.So, overall, I've been very happy with this iron. It irons beautifully and smoothly. And I was so happy not to have to spend over $50 to get this nice of an iron.
