I purchased two Black and Decker spray/steam self cleaning irons at the same time. One was for use at home and one for use at my Church. I have been very happy with my choice at home. It has done an excellent job every time I've needed it. At Church, there were a couple of very expensive (3 figures) irons which we always had trouble with. Either one would not heat up at all or take forever, one leaked, one was very difficult to fill with water. My inexpensive Black and Decker quickly became the iron of choice! The cord seems longer then some, which is quite handy and turning...
