I have had a Rowenta and thought it was good until it leaked had to be replaced and I got a Reliable about four or five years ago, it is the best Iron I have ever had. It has a boiler inside that makes the steam and the steam is constant not in spurts, so easy to push the steam button on and off,you use tap water and it has a filter that is replaced when ever it limes up. We have a water softener so mine lasted a couple years. You have two levels of steam, high and low and will steam at any setting. I also splurged and bought my self their ironing board, it comes with two pads and a piece to slip on the front to make it a large rectangle. Can't think of anything I dislike. The iron was about $30.00 higher then a Rowenta but worth every penny.Notice that Nancy Notions is carrying them now, I bought mine direct from their web site. They are made in Canada and the CO makes commercial steamer,s to. Try www.reliance.com
