I like my Euro Steam. I have had it a year and it never spits. I mostly use it for putting a fresh press on before I longarm a quilt or for pressing quilt backs and yard goods. I always empty it and refill with purchased drinking water before each use, I have a Panasonic portable cordless iron I use when piecing. I use Best Press or water in a 3 oz. hair spray spritzer bottle from Sally's Beauty Supply rather than steam. The little bottles produce a fine mist exactly where you want it and makes the Best Press go a lot farther.
