I have had 2 within 18 months 1st one leaked all over all the time 2nd one wont heat up just a few months old ...I do love them when they work. I am not buying another they are too expensive to be replacing that often.
I iron all my husbands work clothes and mine and really miss how nice it did the job.
I also went the the web site and saw all the complaints so I am on the hunt for another iron that does the same job.
I bought a cheapo does a fairly nice job but it just doesnt produce the steam like the Rowenta.
