I usually buy the cheapest...but I have found Black & Decker are the heaviest and last the longest. Right now I have a renovated as a back up, and a digital as a primary. I have a love/hate relationship with the automatic turn off...I love that it will turn it's self off if I forget, I hate that it turns it's self off all the time while I am sewing, meaning I have to keep resetting it to cotton...well in a perfect world the iron would know what I wanted automatically and obey with out question. Not a perfect world however so I will just stick with Black&Decker for now.
