My $5 Iron
I know that many on this board are not fond of Rowenta Irons but I found one at a yard sale for $5 and just couldn't resist. This is a model DX9800. I don't ever use the steam feature on my irons as I prefer the spray bottle so if it leaks that is not a problem for me. A year or so ago I found a Rowenta at a yard sale for $1 and it has held up very well. I did notice that this Rowenta has 1600 watts and my Black & Decker has 1500 watts. I do like the higher watt as it seams I don't have to hold the iron on the seam as long to get it fully pressed down.
