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.

Cheers, K

Rowenta is trouble. Go to Wal-Mart & buy a $6.00 iron & use until it dies then go get another one.

I also like the old irons with the metal sole plate. Also do not want a steam iron. So when I saw the old fashioned dry iron advertised in "The Vermont Country Store' catalog I snapped one up. Love it. Can't remember what it cost, sorry :-(. Now if I need a little water on my ironing, I spray a water mist from a bottle and then happily iron away. No automatic shut off, and no leaking, sputtering or spurting! Hallelulah!

I have had a Maytag cordless iron for a while and it has been just fine. It shuts itself off automatically which is a great help to me. Before that I used Rowenta for many years and had no problems.

I had a maytag cordless that I used so much I wore it out and couldn't find another so now I have a panasonic cordless that so far I love.

That is good advice, I think. I don't believe the expensive ones are really worth the money. And I have heard from so many that they are not good and the company won't stand by them. So why bother. Just get a good cheapy.

I have a Rowenta for many years and use tap water. Have had no problems and just love mine.

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.
