I had a Rowenta iron that I loved. I will never ever buy another one. I paid over $100 for it. When it was just a couple of months out of warranty it started to leak. Not just a little but a lot. It was a mess. I emailed and called the company and they said I was SOL. My sister has had 2 that did the same thing. Never again. I just got home from a quilt retreat and they were saying the same thing about Rowentas. If you look it is all over the internet about them leaking. I have a Sharp that is about 8 months old that I like.
