I have a Rowenta ... love the amount of steam it puts out. A plus is that it takes tap water.It does have a self clean feature to clean out the deposits in the tank. It does weigh more than other irons. So if weight is an issue for you I would go for a Black and decker... cheap.... light weight... and if it goes ...not big deal ...just get a new one. I got my Rowenta after my Black and Decker started to spit brown stuff ( yep it stained) but this was after a few years. After my sewing machine I log more hours with the iron so ... I made my "upgrade" to the Rowenta. Many models to choose from ... so when comparing prices ...make sure to note the model number.
What ever you choose do avoid a teflon sole. They are tough to clean without damaging the teflon. This is particularly a problem if you do any fusing.
