Shark Irons ROCK! I have been through three Rowentas in the last six years ( they kept dripping and spitting). Rowenta, at least did replace two of them since I had them less than a year. I now have a Shark Professional 1000 watt iron. It feels substantial, and it does a fantastic burst of steam. I also bought mine at Target and I think I paid $69.95 for it. Best Money I ever spent since I do iron a lot.
