After having 2 Rowentas (both high-end) which leaked; a Shark which lasted longer, but leaked eventually; I purchased a Black and Decker at Bed Bath and Beyond with coupon and so far am liking it the best of all.

Irons are like quilt machines - there are people who love and swear by a specific brand. It all depends on how much you want to spend. I have a Black and Decker and it is serving me quite nicely. I have read that the Classic model (looks a bit old timey) is a really good one. I didn't get it because I thought it was really ugly but a woman in my guild has one and absolutely loves hers.

I went to a quilt retreat last week and we needed more irons. I stopped at General Dollar and bought four $9 irons. Everyone at the retreat loved them, they got hot, produced lots of steam and had no auto shut off. I have no idea how long one will last but for $9 so what. There were different brands of the $9 iron at different stores. One was Rival and one was Continental. I bought two each and they worked the same. I kept one for myself. General Dollar stores are popping up here everywhere. I have one on each end of my road. LOL
