After going through three Rowenta irons and having leaking problems with all of them, I finally purchased a Reliable. (This iron is being used on the Fons and Porter programs this year if you want to see it in action.) Other than the fact that the iron is very heavy due to the water pump inside, it is a great iron. I have been using it for several years and have had no problems with it at all. However, I do have a Black & Decker iron that I use for every day ironing and it works great as well.
