I'm in the market for a new iron since I dropped my Black and Decker. I'll have to check out the thrift shops for some older ones.
I liked the Black and Decker but the holes on the bottom were so large that they would catch on the edge of the fabric, of small blocks, and cause them to bunch up and wrinkle. I have an Oreck iron that came with my vacuum but I haven't tried it yet because it seems so huge.
