I have a Shark. Have had every kind on the market and several Rowentas. This Shark puts out killer steam if steam is your thing then I would get it. Otherwise the Black and Decker was my second choice.
I go through alot of irons because I am bad about shutting them off, drop them alot and have ruined several with fusible. Now when Target or Walmart has a great price on a mid level iron I buy an extra.
