I had always wanted a Rowenta so when Joann's had a half off sale I bought one. That was 3 years ago or so and I've only used it a couple times because my DH took it downstairs to the laundry area where he does his own ironing and I haven't used it since...LOL I use my little cheapy Procter Silex that I've had for over 15 years. I've noticed lately that it doesn't seem to be as hot as it use to so I think I'll be replacing her with another cheapy :)
