I have a Black and Decker. I wish I had bought the ugly classic one. A friend of mine brought it to a recent guild sewing day and I liked it more than my iron.
I personally wouldn't spend the big bucks on a higher end iron. $35 is my limit. I paid $25 for mine at Walmart. It's nicer than my last Black and Decker which died.
Ricky Timms says to never ever add water to an iron. They all get incontinent sometime in their lifetime lol. I switched to using a spray bottle for water if I need a bit of steam I'm not sure that I am liking the spray bottle way. I figure if my $25 iron starts to leak then I'll switch back to the spray bottle... or get a new iron. I don't need steam often though
