And is it crazy to be excited about an iron?! I have had my Digital Velocity iron for about 7 years (yes, and those are like dog years, so my iron has really lasted forever)! I have been watching the iron posts online, as I am now saying if, not when, my iron gives up.
I really like my Digital Velocity, but it is no longer being made. The only thing I would change is to have an over-ride for the auto off feature. The next iteration was the Sensor Velocity and tah dah! they added an auto-off over-ride, but that iron is also obsolete. I called the factory a few weeks ago to find out when there next iron would be shipping, and it just arrived on my doorstep this morning!
It is the Velocity 200IR, and it DOES include an auto-off over-ride. And just in time, as over the weekend, I have noticed that my iron is taking an extremely long time to heat up, and the auto-shut off happens after about 2 minutes. I will be testing this out over the next few days and will let you know how I like it!
