I used a rowenta for years, lowest price from Nancy's and stopped using steam a year ago or so it couldn't be turned off all the way, had to unplug. A few weeks ago it started get hotter than it should, threw it away and started using a little GE again and it works fine. I also have the Black & Decker Classic, no auto shut off, I wanted to save it as it looks old fashioned. If GE stopps working I will use the B&D. No reason to save it if I need an iron.
Rowenta was well worth the money I paid ($30.00).
