This will get you --- my GF had an iron that had the teflon coming off....she definately needed a new one and has it in her mind that she needs a Rowenta. DH told her to buy it until he heard the price. They were out to buy groceries when she saw Goodwill. Said to DH "let's stop in". He said there's NOTHING there that I'd want. Yip - you guessed it -- she found the Rowenta that she'd been drooling over ----for $5.99!!!!!!!!! Some people just have all the luck!
