Rowenta irons were sold to a new company so the quality is not there anymore. If you can find an old one at a yard sale that would be great. The new iron on the market has a separate heating chamber for the steam so no way it can leak. It's a Reliable brand. The same company that makes commercial irons. It sells for about $100. I picked up a cheap iron at Walmart for $7 to take to classes and it has worked fine. But I don't iron clothes with my iron. I have a big EuroPro iron for clothes and it seldom gets used.
