I bought the CHI after reading good reviews. It's a good iron -- got very hot, but the temperature control was awkward for me to reach and use. Next I bought the Beautural, 1850 watts, and like it. Easy to use, and gets more than hot enough. I haven't used it with steam so haven't experienced it with leaks like I have with previous Rowentas. Heat control is digital and I like it and recommend it.
