I have a Rowenta Focus and it started leaking about 3 months after I purchased it. I use the steam only when I iron my husbands work pants and shirts. I fill it half way with water (have to use bottled because we have soft water) and can only iron 1 shirt with that amount of water! :shock: I have a towel that I tie around the bottom of the leg of my ironing board to soak up all the water.
Today I was at Bed Bath and Beyond and noticed the Rowenta Focuses were all on clearance for $80. I wonder if they keep getting them returned so they just want to move them out???!!!!
I am seriously considering buying one of the Reliable iron's. I just want something to work! Love how well the Rowenta irons clothes but it's just not worth the hassle of all that leaking water and having to constantly refill.
