Ditto. My Rowenta isn't that old, but I always drain it after a good day's work. Also drain the GE and the other one that I got an estate sale for $5. I've never had an iron that leaked, but know lots of people who don't drain their iron and complain constantly about leaks. Since it takes minimal effort, drain it! froggyintexas
