All of this is interesting. For all this time I have been feeling like the Lone Ranger because I didn't like my Rowenta. The first time I used it, it spurted a dark stain on my linen jacket. It wasn't long before it was leaking.
Now I have a Sunbeam Steam Master. There are things I like about it and there are drawbacks. It's heavy enough, has a nice soleplate, a nice point. But I find it shuts off after it has been down for a few (so it seems) seconds. Sometimes I like to press the dickens out of a piece, but I need to lift the iron to get it going again. Oh, and it was about $30. I figure when it does tumble from the ironing board, it will have served it's time and I'll just go on to something else. I think I will look into that T-Fal. Haven't heard of it until now.
