I have been through 3 irons in the last year. I don't drop them, and I am careful to follow the directions they come with. The last one to go was the Sunbeam "No Drip" I bought at Target. I had it 11 months and suddenly water everywhere.
So I went online to lots of sites and blogs about irons. I read the reviews by owners and consumer product companies. When I saw that most people really liked the Black and Decker Digital Advantage D2030, I bought one through Amazon. I just used it this morning for the first time and I am im-pressed! LOL
It gets much, much hotter than the Sunbeam, holds a lot of water so I don't have to keep refilling. It makes tons of steam and is heavy. I think the stainless steel plate will be just fine.
PS. I called Sunbeam to complain. I faxed them a copy of the receipt I still had and they are sending me a new one for free. So I will have a back up, but this time I don't think I will need it. Can give it to DD when she moves out.
