Brentwood Steam Iron With Auto Shut-OFF in White

It's not clear to me if mine just happened to be a defective unit or if the design is bad. Maybe both. I had to return it. The problems that I had: 1. The worst problem is that water leaked out of the handle when I stood it up, no matter how little water I put in it. 2. Another problem is that water splashed out of the iron when I was ironing - some from the handle, some from the steam holes. 3. The little cover on the fill hole was almost impossible to open just with a fingernail. 4. It also did not get very hot. All of those might have been due to a defective imdividual item. Design flaws: The temperature knob labeling is not easy to see; the knob is very awkward to use. The cord is relatively stiff and tends to get in the way. And not a cheap iron, either.
