I bought the Rowenta with all the steam vents at BB&B for $49 plus 20% off. I very carefully read the instructions to see if there was something different I needed to know about the "leaking". I've have a couple of Rowentas before and they all leaked. I learned that the temp setting should be off and the "dry to steam" switch" needs to be set to "dry". Be careful not to overfill. I have been very careful to follow these directions and the iron has not leaked yet and I've had it about 6 months. Now this doesn't mean it won't start leaking but so far so good.
