Another Rowenta fan here. Have had 2 over the last 20+ years. Also have a EuroPro that I really like and use primarily for quilting. My personal opinion...I think the most important factor with steam irons is to read and follow the directions as to type of water recommended. Some of mine are designed specifically for tap water, others specifically designed for distilled water. Use which one is recommended. And steam those puppies clean once in a while!
