I just purchased the Rowenta Project Runway 1750 Watt Floral Design Steam Iron approx. a month ago on ebay for $55.00. Love it!!! No problems. I had a Rowenta iron and had no problems with it whatsoever, but then when I saw this one - it is purple! - I just had to buy it too! I like it and it is heavier than my other Rowenta. Great irons (IMO)
