My 10 year old Rowenta finally died -- I had just plugged it in and the smoke detector went off, though I did not see smoke I won't take a chance. I had bought a B&D at Target to replace it a few months ago and it is driving me crazy. I am one of those folks who likes steam and the water reservoir is very small -- and the water indicator does not give a good indication of how much water is left.
There might be a different/better model of B&D for me, but I will be hunting for a new iron and put this on the shelf.
