I've never owned a steam iron and neither has my Mum. Now that I have a tumble dryer, I only give the clothes a short tumble (which shakes the worst creases out of knitted cotton garments) and iron them while still damp. If they have got too dry I spray them with water. I've found that a steam iron is required to do modern (or even 19th century) tailoring. I'm currently still using my Norelco; however, when it dies, I will be in the same pickle, as Norelco doesn't make steam irons anymore. I've found Black and Decker not very satisfactory. Haven't tried a Rowenta, but I had a Rowenta toaster once, and the thermostat never seemed to be consistent, so haven't high hopes for an iron. May consider a Sunbeam when the time comes.
