I've had 2 Rowenta's and will never have another one. The first one lost heat and the second one started leaking after about 6 mos-this seems to be a common problem I've heard from many on sewing groups. I now have a Reliable which is great even though it is heavy--I've used cheaper irons and have been quite happy with those. I've used the Eliso at the quilt shop and they are nice--if I bought another iron I'd like one of those.

I cant afford the new Eliso so has anyone got good recommendations for a new iron?
