I also have the Black and Decker Digital Advantage. When I bought, Consumer Reports gave it the top rating. I love it!

I had a Rowenta overseas, and had to leave it-used it and used it and used it-loved it! Then my old iron, which I allowed my house girl to use to iron bit the dust, so I was forced to let her use mine. Needless to say, she ruined the teflon plate ironing over zips and buttons. I am glad to read these posts because I am looking for a new iron now! I have a cheap Walmart GE with auto shut off which I bought my sons when they moved into their apartment together 6 years ago (and I doubt EVER used!), so for the time being, it is filling the gap.

My favorite iron, and I have many irons, is a more than 20 yr old Sunbeam, 1200 watts, stainless steel soleplate. Yeah, it has been dropped a few times, but it hangs right in there. I wish Sunbeam would bring them back on the market as a Quilter's Special.

When DH and I lived in a cabin, (for 2 years) on a mountian in Oregon, with no power, and no running water, well I used some of these irons heated on our wood stove to press my quilt blocks, and I used them for part of a display in the first quilt show I did.
