I have a Rowenta that I paid $129 for. I used to love it. I have had it about 1 1/2 years and it leaks like a sieve. Every time you tip it to iron water pours out of the back of it. It leaves a huge wet spot on the ironing board. I emailed the company and they told me I am SOL. I will never, ever buy another Rowenta. My sister is having the same problem. I am going to try taking it to Bed, Bath and Beyond where I bought it and see if they can do anything.
