I have had 3 Rowena irons. The 1st was wonderful but was broken when I moved. I replaced it and it leaked like a faucet. I bought another because I love the weight of it and I have never added water. I use a spray with it. Then I went to a retreat and another lady had a Hamilton Beach iron that was great. It never leaks, has the weight I love and cost less than $40. I will never pay for another high end iron!
