I'm still a Rowenta gal myself. But (IMO) it's really important with their irons in particular (and probably others as well) to make sure you are using the proper water in the iron as the directions stipulate - distilled or tap. Rowenta sells both. When using the properly directed water in their irons I've never in 30+ years had an issue with sputtering or leaking.
I also have a Europro Iron that I purchased at a home show after seeing demo'd initially at a quilt show. Again, distilled water and no leaking/sputtering issues unless I've overfilled.
Definitely need to check wattages prior to purchase vs price. Just because it's more expensive doesn't necessarily mean it gets hotter. I like the Rowenta because it is reasonably heavy but not horrible. And I like a heavy iron as well.
Well, this is silly. Trying to post and it tells me my message needs to be more than 10 characters!! Here's to trying again.
Fifth try is not the charm. Sigh.
