After having the Rowenta i bought quit after about 6 months, and the Black & Deckers that I grew up with keep leaking. I decided to try a different brand. I bought a Shark at Kohl's on sale about 1-1/12 years ago, and I am still using it and loving it. I do a lot of ironing, and it has lasted does not leak, and has the auto shut off that the Rowenta did not. Everyone has their own preferences, but I want one that has good steam, multiple settings for my different clothing, and auto-off if I get distracted.
Good luck which ever way you decide.
