I bought an olisio iron (the one that goes up and down on its own) and am very pleased with it.
I spent about $100 on it but worth it with the new puppy, he is a great dane and loves to sniff the ironing board and with this iron less of a chance of him burning his nose on it.
I bought it at Joanns and it was 25% off at the time.
I originally bought a Rowenta and gifted it to my mom, I really did not like it but she loves it.
My favorite iron of all times was an inexpensive Black and Decker but my daughter and the dog knocked it off the ironing board and broke it.
