I buy my Black & Deckers at yard sales and thrift shops. I have three now, but would pick up any I find that work well. I don't need the steam feature to work as I almost never need it. On the other hand if I feel I need it I have an old Rowenta that I use for steam only. Mostly I use a spray starch and don't use steam with it. The thing we need for piecing etc, is HEAT, and Black & Decker gets very, very hot. I prefer it to any high priced, fancy iron and it's very inexpensive. especially when you get it at a thrift shop or yard sale. For instance $2.00 to $3.00 each.
