The Reliable irons really do seem to be the only ones that have been shown by professional testers & everyday reviewers alike not to spit water. My brother & SIL had a Reliable iron before they upgraded to a Reliable steamer. I must say, the Reliable Vivio 150GC they have is an absolute dream to use. So easy to get wrinkles out of large pieces of fabric & no need to worry about distorting the fabric. I am saving up to get one. They got theirs on sale, but it was still over $100 -- double what I paid for my Rowenta iron (it died, so I'm using one of my mom's old irons until I can get a new one or the steamer).
