I've had a Rowenta for a long time. Last week it would turn on, but didn't get hot. Got a new one at Bed, Bath & Beyond with 20% off coupon. Came home, tried the new iron in the kitchen & it worked great. Took it into the sewing room and now it's acting like the old Rowenta. The culprit was my extension cord, not the iron. So now I have 2 Rowentas!
