I have the very same problem with my Rowenta, when I am ironing i hit the steam button or water button and it gets wet, so it isn't leaking it is just the way the handle is made and I hit it with my hand. I also do not like the auto shut off. I have bought many irons through the years and have never found one I really liked. They all seemed to not get hot enough to iron out wrinkles in cotton fabric. Rowenta does. I have a nice cordless iron I bought several years ago but it doesn't get hot enough either, but I sure loved not having the cord.

(grin) But lately I have been using it more because I am back into quilting (more time because I am retired now) and It does leak water sometimes. I couldn't figure that one out until I realized that I was just touching the top spray button on the handle just alittle. So I am careful when I pick up the iron. I know when this one dies I will buy a cheap one. I don't think that it is worth the money for all the bells and whistles. Thanks for all the suggestions here.
