I bought this a little over a year ago. It works well, but if you look closely at the handle you'll notice it's wood and not cast iron like the rest of it. On mine, it's developing a big crack in the handle.
I switched to this one after having a stainless steel one that had a handle that'd often come loose. If you can find one that has a handle that's either welded or is all part of the same piece, then maybe that'd be best.

Yep. Of the common cast iron burger presses, only Lodge makes a full cast iron one. Similar price range. I have one and it just works.

Hah, I came across that one last night shortly after posting my comment. I was curious about it since it's all one piece, but I wasn't sure how comfortable the thinner-looking handle would be. Would you recommend it?

I would, since cast iron can easily last lifetimes. Stainless steel is definitely easier to use and maintain, but cast iron is more sturdy and can also be used to press a steak or bacon due to its weight.
The thin handle hasn't been an issue. I can press down just fine by grasping it, but when I want maximum pressing power, I put my fist on the back of the press. Unlike thin steel, cast iron doesn't heat up as fast, so it doesn't get too hot when I do that.
I'd pass on cast iron if I'm doing a lot of burgers, because it retains heat and will gradually get too hot. For home cooking, that shouldn't ever be an issue.
