Pros : Fine for temperature control. Solid build. Good length cord to give that extra length for your iron.
Cons : It needs some method of having a memory point to quickly dial to for your favorite heat settings.
Other Thoughts : Could expand unit to be a station with iron holder and tray. It would also be nice to be able to plug in two irons so when one gets pushed and needs to build heat back up, another is there at the ready.
