I bought the Sunbeam from Costco a little over a month ago and it is one of the best irons I have ever used. It steams much better than my Rowenta ever did. I replaced my 25 year old Rowenta with the Sunbeam. The reason that I didn't buy another Rowenta is that I have friends who have bought new Rowentas in the last several years and they did not last very long. Back to "They don't make them like the used to."
