Not a Rowenta fan UNLESS it is one made in Germany. I had one made in Germany that was the best iron ever and lasted about 15 years. Replaced it with an expensive Rowenta (made in China)and after 7 months the water tank began leaking and then must have cracked because all of th water in my tank poured out onto the floor. While I was using it. And, yes, I was using the correct water and letting it warm up properly. Called the company and was told since I had purchased one of their "Professional" irons the warranty was only good for 6 months. So, check the country it was made in and also check the warrenty also. I am now a fan of buying less expensive irons and replacing them when they die. For the past two years I have been using a Shark and love it!
