Hi, I've had 2 Rowenta Professionals that died on me within 2 yrs. (>$120). Vowed not to buy another one.
Then went on a quilt weekend and several people had the Rowenta "First Class" iron and loved them. They are small and meant more for quilt getaways and ironing blocks and smaller pieces. Well, I bought one. LOVE IT! so much so that I bought another one to do my "daily" ironing with. Even use it for large quilts - just takes longer because the iron is smaller than a standard iron. Drawbacks are that it has no auto-shut-off (if you want one) and the water holder (tap water only - great) is small and needs frequent filling if doing a lot of ironing at one time. Pluses are it's small for travelling, dual voltage, use with or without steam, burst of steam, vertical steam, storage bag for travelling, lightweight. They can be bought at Bed Bath and Beyond for $40 minus any coupon you may have. They cost more at Jo-Anns and you cannot use a coupon at Jo-Anns for irons. Bought one at Jo-Anns, saw the better deal at BB&B and returned the one to Jo-Anns. BTW one of mine stopped giving out steam after 2 days of use. I had bought it several months earlier and saved for a weekend. I went back to BB&B and told them no steam, bought long ago, not used long, no sales slip. They looked up my "sales" on their computer, saw the sale, and exchanged my non-working one for a brand new one - no problem - GREAT SERVICE!
