I got one when they first came out and have had it for several years. It's a really great iron but the up/down on mine does not always work when it should so I have to keep an eye on it. I just set it upright if it doesn't lift when I put it down. It worked fine for a few years but now I have it in my classroom and it really gets a workout.
I think all irons will leak if you fill them too full, or try to use them at an awkward angle, or set them down for a few moments vs. upright when ironing. I just "iron" up the wet spot and continue on.
