I was researching a new iron when I came across a review for the same brand I'm replacing, the Shark w/ Auto Shutoff & Extended Steam Burst."   I don't usually take the time to write reviews, but I had the same problems as one of the other reviewers.  Maybe this will save someone else from purchasing this poor performing iron. At first it worked great.  Then, it began doing odd things like shutting itself off WHILE I was ironing. I also had trouble with the steam.  I think it's all related to the fact that it kept shutting itself off.  And, there were times that it didn't want to heat...
