Leaking Iron? New Rowena Iron issues
#92
I have a rowenta and Love it, i do find if you go to use it when it is not fully heated up it sometimes will "pee' a little, but never to that extent I use it in the shop. I also still love my Old Dino of a Proctor Silex that doesnt even have an auto Shutoff and it just keeps on going and going, even after 5 or 6 nose dives due to the cat walking across the ironing board she just steams right along. Hope the day never comes that we have to part. I bought her in a thrift store for $5.00 years ago. she stays at home where i can always remember to turn her off when we are done for the day.

A friend of mine found me an old small iron at a yard sale. No holes.I wanted it for putting fusible on since my old iron always left bumps. My T-Fal doesn't so I have yet to use the old one. People seem really turned off by the auto off. I don't mind since I need it.But a quick pop up and down and it turns back on. And heats up quickly.
I will stick with it.Isn't it grand that there are so many different products we can choose from and we can find ones that suit our usage and pocketbooks?

I had the same problem with my leaking Rowenta and I mentioned it to my electrician. He said it might be due to the iron wattage. Our homes are pretty much wired for up to 1500 watts for small appliances and these higher wattage irons never get hot enough and so they leak. Sounds like as good as reason as any.
