I like Rowenta's brand as well. I like how hot it gets and the weight as well. I found that one of the reasons that irons spit, leak, is because of using it before the water in the iron isn't heated up enough and you need to wait for a short time before using once you put it in the steam mode. If you read the Rowenta's site, they have an interesting write up on it. I haven't had any issues with mine.
