I guess I'm in the minority-I like my Rowenta! But what I like more is the fiberglass ironing board cover I bought at a quilt show 6 years ago. It reflects the heats and I keep my iron at the same setting no matter what the fabric. I can iron satin, then cotton and then denim and never change the setting. Plus my iron doesn't get anything on the plate. It takes some getting used to because the fiberglass is slippery. I made all the dresses for two of my daughters' weddings and never scorched a thing!!
Oh it's called miracle ironing board cover by measurematic, inc.
