I had a Rowena that I paid more for than any other iron I ever had. It leaked almost from day one.
My Sunbeam doesn't leak, but I shouldn't have gotten one with an automatic cut-off. Every time I pick it up to iron, it seems to have turned itself off. I don't use it for quilting.
I have a very small iron I use when I'm piecing quilts. It doesn't steam any more because the dogs knocked it off the board a few years back. I just use it with spray starch.
