I have posted my preferences before. Not Rowenta, for all the usual reasons about their new Irons quality. I have gone over to a Gravity Feed Iron by "Naomoto" Model Number HYS-58. It has a water bottle that hangs above the height of the ironing surface and maintains a constant supply of water to the iron. They are used in the Dry cleaning business and tailoring trades. It is the last iron I have bought and after 3 years of almost constant use for 4-8 hrs a day, it is still going strong. The only drawback is that it is anchored to the place above the ironing board, and is not portable. I have a couple of cheap portable irons, and a steam generator Iron that can be moved, if that sort of need arises. The gravity feed irons are not cheap, but are the industry standard for longevity, and are owner serviceable, with very few moving parts. I don't know how I did without one for all these years.
