this is a timely topic. I have a rowenta- paid alot for it, and it's several years old. i like a heavy iron and lots of steam. Well, it's started spitting, and that's no good. Also, something is on the bottom of it- scratches, I don't know what- can't clean it- have used every measure available- so I'm in the market for a new iron. I can't find John's link to the iron talked about. I will look at the t-fal, a B&D, and this consew iron. These seem like the most loved ones on this list.
