I've had a Rowenta steam generator system for about 10 years - finally died. BooHoo. Bought a $29 one at WalMart and it's ok but Rowenta spoiled me for steam. The switch went out and I have a friend that may be able to fix it but I'll have to plug it in & out instead of turning it on/off. If he can't fix it - I'll have to get another. Only draw back is that it has a separate base to hold the water & you can't move it around like you can a regular iron.
