Have a great day.
Two of my irons that went wonky are Rowenta, so I'm really curious to see how long my new Rowenta keeps working. It has only a 1-year warranty. I have vowed that it will be the last Rowenta that I will ever buy IF it goes wonky within the next few years. I looked on-line at all the pressure iron/steamers available and, while they are common in Europe, they are not in the USA, so my choices were limited. (So far, it hasn't made my lights flicker.)
