I had two Rowenta's, Martha Stewart used that brand and raved on and on about how good they were. They both leaked within 6 months. I have an Oliso that I bought almost 4 years ago and it is still going. I have two Proctor Silex irons that I use for MABD's, but the Oliso has been my favorite. I have read threads on here about people not having good performance from them, but this one doesn't owe me a dime.
