I own a Rowenta, it leaks and after less than a year the iron does stay on. It warms up and then after a certain amount of time, the auto shutoff kicks in and turns it off and the things doesn't turn back on. At first, I was able to unplug it and plug it back in and it would heat up, but now once it shuts itself off, it doesn't come back on. I wouldn't buy another Rowenta again.
