I do b'c I'm left handed and I got SICK of that darn cord sticking me in the arm when I ironed! It's "ok" but I do have to set it back down on the base to keep getting it back up to temp again and it takes a couple seconds to get the iron on the stand (they both have a triangle that need to match up and I invariably feel like I'm trying to put a square peg into a round hole)! It's a West Bend and it's 24 years old! Sorry I can't recall where I got it or how much I paid. Not even sure they make them anymore!
