I have an iron that belonged to my best friend's mother, who died 20+ years ago
No steam, no teflon; just a nice metal flat surface that gets very hot and produces a good crisp edge.
A quilting friend was afraid I'd be in despair when it went and gave me one from the Vermont Country Store - no steam, no teflon
I don't like steam, if I need dampness, I have an old coke bottle with a sprinkler top that does the job.
None of my other irons gets as crisp an edge.
The temperature on my Rowenta went kaflooey; the LQS from which I bought it doesn't carry them anymore, says her customers have had too much trouble with the temp. and Rowenta refused to fix.
In fairness to them, I do have a travel Rowenta that works quite well.
