Today I bought a new iron to replace the 1 month-old one that malfunctioned. My new iron is the Westinghouse Thermocolor - What fun! When you first plug it in the water tank glows blue, then it changes to green, purple, then red as it warms up to the hottest setting. I think I finally found a perfect iron for me. This iron is not for sissies, it is a big heavy iron and gets even heavier when you fill up the enormous water tank. And, compared to my other irons this one gets very hot for 1400 watts. Though there is only 2 steam settings (high and low) the lower one seems to do just fine. The only complaint I have so far is the filling hole in the watertank should have a stopper in it - it will splash out a bit when completely full and I'm in a hurry LOL Fingers crossed that this one will last a looooong time!
No afiliation, just a satisfied customer ;o) Mickie
