Black and Decker - purchased maybe 20-30 years ago for ironing clothes and whatever. If I don't use the steam it works fine. Agree about stainless steel plate - still going strong!
All the stupid thing has to do is heat up. For this I need to pay $150? For 15 varieties of heating, wetting, sizzling? uh-uh.
And I hate the new irons which seem so big and pointy. Going after a 3" square is like sending the QE II to meet a rowboat.

DH bought me a Rowenta Professional from Nancy's Notions in Oct. 3010 for my B'day, it was big a surprise. I would never paid so much for an iron.
Well about 4 months ago it started leaking. It is very upsetting, as we all know they are not cheap irons. My little iron I bought for $10 at WM for quilt workshops is a great little iron. Buy cheap.

I agree, get a basic light weight iron. I had a cheap iron for about 15 years. It finally retired, then I purchased a $50 iron, thought it was last forever. I was wrong, 1 yr later, dead...... Purchased a $10 cheap sunbeam and it's been three years, so now if she quits it won't be nearly as painful.

[QUOTE=aborning;4919436]I recently bought a Sunbeam Turbo Steam Master at WalMart. I think it was priced at a little over $28. I REALLY like this iron--I even kept the box so I buy the exact same one whenever I buy one for a Gift (Bridal Showers or for Graduations). This is the best iron I have ever had and the price was ery reasonable.[/QUOTE
Thanks for the info, I'm going to WalMart to find this iron, hope they have it.
