I do like my Rowenta (which I got as a gift two years ago), but I never put water in it. If I want steam, I spritz some water on the fabric from a water bottle I keep on my ironing table, and then press. But I do find the Rowenta's way too heavy. It's not weight that does a good job pressing, it's heat. So next time I'm going back to a good old Black & Decker iron. I love them. They get plenty hot, are reasonably priced, last and last and aren't too heavy.
