I bought a Sunbeam at Big Lots for $10. I use it a LOT! I've had it for about 2 years. This is after going through 3 Rowentas within a year and a half. I use the one I have every day-steam or not-and have not had one leak with it. My cat also uses my ironing board in her acrobatic act, and it has hit the floor more times than I care to think about. It has a 20 minute shut off, and that works for me.
