I am on my SECOND T Fal Iron, only because I was half asleep and pulled the steaming vent out and broke it when I meant to open the water port. DUH! It never leaks,spits, etc. It has 3 steam levels and burst of steam, plus sprinkler and a sole plate that absolutely will NOT stick. Check them out for about $35+/- they used to be at Walmart where I got the first one but the last time I had to order on line. Its the one with the blue or blue green plastic water reservoir so you can see the water level. I love this iron. and I only use Distilled Water, makes a big difference!
