I have one rowenta, it is Ok for ironing clothes, but not worth the money that was spent on it. I also have a Panasonic cordless one that I thought would be great because of no cord. The cordless one doesn't get hot enough and has the auto cut off. It seems like each time I sew, then get up to press, it has turned itself off and I have to wait for it to heat (somewhat) up again. I think my next one will be a midrange priced Black & Decker or Shark from Wal-Mart.
