Rowenta iron
Several years ago I bought a top of the line rowenta irons. It started leaking. The final straw was rust spots when I was ironing. So just before warranty was up took it back to store and exchanged for a new one. That one did the same thing then eventually caught fire. Unfortunately it was just out of warranty so tossed it. Now using a cheap rowenta my mother had. Seems to be working fine so far. But I will keep a close eye on it. Any hint of problem and out it goes (minus the cord). Didn't realize so many others were having same problem. I would think if I pay over $100 for an iron it should last for more than one year!!!
