I just bought a Black & Decker F67E - Classic Iron with Aluminum Soleplate. (It was $20 on sale at Amazon). So far I am very happy with it as it is a good weight for me, strong steam and crisp seams so far.

i keep a spray bottle of water on my ironing board and spritz my fabric if i need steam...saves irons. my best iron i'm useing now is a $12 black & decker from walmart that i've been using for 4 years now, the one before? a $139 iron that lasted less than 6 months. i will stick to inexpensive and spray bottles. it does not matter if the iron cost $300 or $3 if you put water in them they will leak after a bit.
