Rowenta was bought out by another company and the quality of the irons aren't like they use to be. I read that in Quilter's Home magazine. I bought the Black and Decker Classic for steam but found the best iron at Home Depot. It does not steam thus no holes in the sole plate! I bought two, one for a back up. I know if I find a tool that actually works great, it gets discontinued.
