I replaced my iron because it had a spot on the plate. i got a Black and Decker at Walmart, which I love(About $16). I also have a craft iron. When I was in the Salvation Army, I bought a Rowenta for $6. I plugged it in at the store.
I like the B&D because you can see the water in it and it shuts off when not in use. I hope you find something you like.
