I also bought a rowenta from qvc about four and half years ago. It was the Mercedes Benz fashion week iron and except for the flowers looks exactly like this one. It is a wonderful iron and works like a dream for all of my ironing. I love using it as a steamer to get wrinkles out of my clothing. The only thing I don't like about it is it is very hard to see though the purple to see how much water is in the reservoir as you are filling it.
