Thanks everybody.
Dunster - it's really tempting and I love the features but requires distilled water or water softer than comes out of our tap. Our water's moderately hard.
I think it's the Black and Decker after reading the manuals. Both it and the Singer get good reviews. I can get the B&D for 36 at BBB with the 20% off coupon. So off I go.
Thanks again.
