I've had Rowentas- they were all POS. Had a Bose that was great but just quit working after 2 years. I have 2 B & D's, but they spit too much. I bought a Shark but got tired of it turning itself off, and such a small water tank that I had to refill it constantly, then it started spitting and spewing water everywhere. So I went to a professional tailor's supply online shop and bought a tailor's iron. It gets SUPER hot, doesn't turn itself off, and has a separate water tank that holds a gallon of water that I hang from the ceiling. If I don't want to use the water tank I don't have to; I can just use a spray bottle. The thing I like best about it is how hot it gets. I'm finally happy. Plus it only cost about $100.
