I have a B&D that I got in 1986 - still going strong.
DH wants me to get a new one and is fascinated with Rowenta. Why, I don't know. Maybe the models made in Germany are better than the lower priced models which are now made in China.
My LQS has Sunbeam but they leak and sputter.
My only complaint with my iron is that it isn't auto shutoff if the iron falls on its base or side and the cord isn't in the middle - more for a right-handed person.
