I bought a Rowenta on sale, and I like it. I also bought a Shark (heaard good things about them) at a garage sale for $5.00, that is the one I use in my sewing room. The Rowenta I keep downstairs because sometimes I take my project down and I didn't want to have to carry an iron back and forth. I did have a black and Decker and it was great til it went out, that's when I got the Shark. From what I have read, next time I'll just go to Walmart. Only thing my B&D did not hold as much water as the ones I have now.
