I broke down and bought the pricey Reliable Digital V100 2 1/2 years ago. It has a one yr warranty. I loved the iron both for the amount of steam output and the auto shut off override. Well, now 2+ yrs later!MIT is leaking all over the place and the steam output is puny at best. I called the company in Toronto and the man in customer service said not to send it in, it would cost more than its worth to fix, said I should just buy another. At $139, I don't think so! So it's back to the B & D for me.
