Funny this should come up today when I was just about ready to post about my iron. I have had a Singer Expert Finish for almost a year now. I bought this model after I read in the magazine "Shop Smart", by consumer guide, that it had their highest ratings. I love it and it puts out lots of steam or no steam as I want. They also give recommendations as to what type of water to use. In my area, spring water was recommended and it is working beautifully.
