[ I have a Roweena, and have gone through 2 fairly quickly because the plastic handle leaks.[/quote]
I also have a Rowenta and have not experienced the leaking problem....love the steam and how fast it heats up. Did not like the fact that it doesn't have an on/off switch, so installed one on the cord. Take it to class, on travel, etc and it works great. YOu can have steam or not.
