PS if you decide to buy Rowenta, be sure you are getting the GERMAN ones...other countries make them but they are NOT the same quality and will leak.
Occasionally, you can find one on craigslist or at a local yard sale and people SAY they leaked...check to see if it's German made...it could be that they didn't fill the water area properly. My mom picked a brand new one up for less than $10 (US) because the lady overfilled it once and refused to use it again.
