I've always bought cheap irons and just consider them a consumable that will have to be replaced every couple of years. My hubby bought me a Rowenta once, it leaked after just a couple of months and I never like it. I'm using a B&D Digital Advantage at the moment. I like it because it holds a LOT of water. I do use the steam function since I don't like having to use a separate spritz bottle all the time. But it's the third one I've bought and its thermostat is already starting to die.
My next iron is going to be a gravity feed. I vaguely remember someone here recommending one a year or two ago, but can't remember the brand. I plan to do my homework before I make my investment. I don't need an industrial version, but I don't want a cheapo either. I already have the perfect place for the tank to sit on a shelf right next to my ironing station.
