I love my Rowenta, but also love my cheapy Black and Decker from Wal Mart and the one I paid $5 for at an estate sale. None of the three have leaked except when I tried to iron with them before the water in them had time to get hot. I always empty mine before putting them away. My Rowenta was made in Germany and according to what has been posted on the board, that seems to make a difference. froggyintexas

I only got the Rowenta because I got a fantastic deal on it. I found it at Hancock Fabrics on clearance and then they were having a special for 50% off all clearance. I like the weight of it and it just glides over the fabrics. That being said, if and when my Rowenta dies, I will definately look at the Reliable brand of irons.
